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

Olivers, a rail yard that the federal North American Rail Network maps 3.9 miles south-west of Notre Dame, a short drive for any tractor based in town. A day cab that shuttles trailers to and from Olivers often spends its nights in a lot near the yard, so when you write to us, give the lot’s street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Further out, the North American Rail Network shows Elkhart’s rail yard 11.6 miles to the east. If your tractor is parked over in Elkhart County rather than in South Bend, leave it there; send us the VIN, the odometer reading and four clear photos, and the pickup is arranged at the Elkhart address.

According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal operates 5.2 miles south of Notre Dame at South Bend, with a second one 7.4 miles north-east at Granger. Tank trucks and tractors that load at either rack are part of what we collect from owners in this corner of Indiana.

For a tanker or a tractor that has pulled one, gather the cargo tank test and inspection reports you kept along with the title. Those sheets tell us what the tank has carried and when it was last certified, which is information a photo of the shell cannot show.

Should the truck still be parked at a terminal lot in Granger or South Bend, tell us whose property it is on. We set the collection up with the site so nobody has to move the truck first.

South Bend Sandpit, 8.3 miles south-west of Notre Dame, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul out of a pit like this one usually sit at the pit or at the owner’s yard between jobs, and either place works for a collection.

East along the county line, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists L-Bob Gravel 21.6 miles away. With a tri-axle or a tandem dump that has worked that pit, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tarp system along with the cab and the plate, and note which body is mounted on the chassis.

Corn, soybeans and hogs lead the county’s agriculture, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 547 farms there. Grain trucks, hopper-trailer tractors and livestock haulers from those operations are trucks we take on from farm owners.

A farm truck is often titled to a family member or registered under the farm’s name. Check whose name is on the Indiana title before you contact us, and if it differs from yours, have that person ready to sign when the truck is collected from the barn or the field lane.

Some 8,100 people held jobs in Notre Dame during 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Whether your truck served one of those employers or ran from the rail yard and fuel racks nearby, the papers we ask for are the same: the title, the current registration and any service records you have.

A missing title is handled by the state’s title agency in Indiana, and a duplicate should be requested before the sale. Tell us about it when you first get in touch, so the pickup in St. Joseph County is planned around the replacement arriving.
