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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Kokomo Quarry 2.3 miles west of town and Kokomo Mine 2.4 miles west, both crushed-stone operations. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs stone out of those pits is one we collect, so tell us whether it is parked at the quarry gate or at home and who can let us in.

Logansport Cement Plant, 24.5 miles to the north-west by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and the PERU PLANT sand and gravel operation 21.9 miles north widen that aggregate circuit. If your truck hauled between Kokomo and those sites, send the title, the current registration and photos of the bed, the frame and the cab before anything else.

Of 32,415 jobs counted in Kokomo for 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 9,213 in manufacturing, a 28.4 percent share. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that shuttle parts and finished goods for those plants are trucks we take, and a short note on the routes it ran helps us ask the right questions first.

Wholesale trade holds 765 of those jobs and transportation and warehousing 551, again from LEHD’s 2023 figures, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records only 3 warehousing establishments in the city. A truck that delivered from a Kokomo shipping dock can be collected right where it sits; give us the street address and a phone number for the site.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 403 active carriers based in Kokomo, with 322 of them running intrastate and 285 operating as private fleets that move their own goods. If your trucks carried a company’s own freight rather than for hire, have the USDOT number and the title in the owner’s name ready when you reach out.

General freight is the leading cargo type at 140 carriers in that FMCSA census, followed by machinery and large objects at 75, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 42 and grain, feed and hay at 40. Lowboy tractors, log haulers and grain trucks all fit, so tell us the body type and whether the trailer goes with the sale.

The three biggest fleets in town, by FMCSA’s census, run 316, 94 and 60 power units. Selling several units from a fleet at once is simple: list each VIN with its registration, and we arrange collection for the group from one yard.

Inspectors stopped 189 trucks from Kokomo carriers between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2020, with 25.9 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, include it with the VIN and the odometer reading when you send the photos.

Among the 68 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median truck logged 10,754 miles a year. Put any oil-change slips or shop invoices for the Kokomo truck next to its title, and if there are none, a few lines on its usual loads will do.

Of the 65 Kokomo spans in the National Bridge Inventory, 3 carry load postings and 2 clear less than 14 feet. The lowest in the National Bridge Inventory, structure 3400134, carries Defenbaugh Street over a local plant pass road at 10ft 8in, so if your truck is parked near there, tell us the height of the rig and the way in.

A tall box or a loaded lowboy needs a route that misses those spans, and the Federal Highway Administration’s bridge records are where those 3 weight postings are listed. Mention any restriction you already know about on the road to your yard, and we plan the pickup truck to suit it.

Corn, soybeans and hogs lead across the 427 Howard County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked in a barn lot on a county road can stay where it is; give us the farm address and say whether the lane is gravel.

To the south, the North American Rail Network shows the TIPTON rail yard 12.4 miles from Kokomo, and to the north the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Grissom ARB at 13.4 miles. The Energy Information Administration places the PERU petroleum product terminal 19.6 miles north, near a PERU rail yard at 21.2 miles, so fuel tankers and yard tractors based along US 31 toward Peru are within reach of a collection.

• My dump truck sits at a quarry just west of Kokomo; will you pick it up from the pit?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Kokomo Quarry 2.3 miles west of town, and yes, we come to the truck at the pit or the yard; tell us who controls the gate.
• Which papers does a Howard County farmer need to sell a grain truck?Have the title, the registration and a few photos; USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 427 farms in the county, and we collect from the farm lane rather than asking you to haul the truck in.
