Sell your semi truck for cash in Goshen the easy and convenient way

Of the 27,474 jobs in Goshen that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, 10,959 were in manufacturing, or 39.9 percent. If your tractor or box truck has been hauling finished goods away from plant docks here, it is likely parked at a plant lot or a yard near one, and we can collect it from that address once you confirm a contact who can let us in.

Wholesale trade held 622 Goshen jobs and transportation and warehousing 221 in that same 2023 LEHD release from the Census Bureau. A straight truck used for wholesale deliveries sells the same way as a sleeper: send the VIN, the title holder’s name and photos of each side, the cab interior and the plate.

Construction accounted for 522 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, lists 142 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and lowboy tractors from those contractors are trucks we buy; tell us which attachments or bodies stay with the unit.

General freight is the cargo line for 184 of the 402 Goshen-based carriers that are active in FMCSA’s carrier census. The same FMCSA census counts another 83 hauling machinery and large objects, 62 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 56 moving motor vehicles. Whatever trailer your power unit pulled, say which one; for a car-hauler setup or a log bunk we ask for extra photos of the rig.

For lumber and machinery haulers, the photos that matter are the frame rails, the fifth wheel or deck, and every tire; the federal carrier census counts 62 and 83 Goshen outfits in those two lines. Add a shot of the dash with the ignition on so the odometer and hours are readable.

Motor-vehicle haulers make up 56 of the town’s registered carriers in FMCSA’s census. If your car-hauler tractor is still coupled to its trailer, tell us whether you are selling the pair or the tractor alone.

Private fleets, companies hauling their own goods, number 264 among Goshen’s carriers in the FMCSA census, beside 219 interstate operators and 183 that stay inside Indiana. A manufacturer retiring a truck from its own fleet sells to us the same as an owner-operator; the registered owner signs the title, so tell us who that is at the start.

The three biggest fleets based here run 1,364, 607 and 376 power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, while 158 carriers report a median of 13,240 miles per truck. If you are disposing of several units from one yard, send a list with each VIN and its plate so we can plan a single collection.

FMCSA logged 24 new carriers registering in Goshen in 2025 and 13 in 2024. A newer operation selling its first truck needs the same papers as an established one: the title in the company’s name, current registration and any lien release.

Roadside inspectors stopped 1,610 trucks from Goshen carriers between August 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA’s inspection records for those stops give a median model year of 2018, with 37.4 percent built ten or more years earlier. Both ends of that range are trucks we buy, so give us the year, make and model in your first message.

If your truck appears in those inspection records, keep the most recent roadside report with the title. Service records and the last annual inspection help as well, alongside photos taken in daylight.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists US 33 Pit, a sand and gravel operation 4 miles south-east, and New Paris Plant, another gravel site 8.6 miles south. A dump truck parked at either pit can be collected where it sits; give us the gate contact and the operating hours of the site.

Fuel tankers work the Milford petroleum terminal 9.9 miles south and the Granger terminal 19.3 miles north-west, both on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. Further south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Asphalt Materials liquid bulk terminal 23.7 miles out. If a tank truck is being sold, tell us what it last carried and whether it has been cleaned out.

North American Rail Network records from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics show the Elkhart rail yard 11.7 miles north-west and the Olivers yard 24.7 miles west. Day cabs that shuttle loads to those yards often sit at a drop lot near them; send us that address rather than your home address.

Of the 37 bridges in and around Goshen in the National Bridge Inventory, 5 carry a posted load limit and none has clearance under 14 feet. When you give us the pickup address, mention any posted bridge on the way in so the tow is routed around it.

Corn, milk and soybeans lead the output of Elkhart County’s 1,809 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and milk tankers kept on a farm can be collected from the farmyard; send a photo of the lane so we know what can reach the truck.

• My dump truck stays at a gravel pit south-east of Goshen; does it have to come into town first?US 33 Pit sits 4 miles south-east of Goshen on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect the truck from there. Tell us which pit staff member unlocks the gate for a tow.
• I work for a private manufacturing fleet. Can the company sell a truck to you?Goshen has 264 private fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, and any of them can sell a unit to us. The title must be signed by the company that holds it, so put us in touch with the person authorised to sign.
• What should I send first for a lumber or log truck?FMCSA’s census shows 62 Goshen carriers hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber; for one of those trucks, send the VIN, the title holder’s name and photos of the frame, the bunks or deck and the tires.
• My milk tanker is kept on an Elkhart County dairy farm; will you collect it from the farmyard?Elkhart County has 1,809 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk among the top three products, and farm pickups are routine. Send the farm address and a photo of the lane leading to the truck.
