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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Lincoln Park Stone’s Stinesville Quarry, a crushed-stone pit, 5.9 miles east of Spencer. A dump truck or tri-axle that has worked that pit is usually parked at the quarry yard or at the owner’s place in town, and either spot works for collection. Have the title and the registration together before you call, and tell us which site the truck sits at.

Further out on the same side of town, the Bloomington Underground Mine sits 11.2 miles south-east, and Arlington Hills, a dimension-stone quarry, is 13.4 miles east, per Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Hoadley Portable, another dimension-stone operation, is listed 15.5 miles south-east. If your flatbed has carried cut block out of one of those sites, photograph the deck, the frame and the cab and send them along with the VIN.

Two sand and gravel operations bracket the town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roster: the Morgan County Sand & Gravel Plant 18.6 miles to the east, and Yard 78 at Bloomfield 20.7 miles to the south-west. A truck kept at either yard can be collected there; send us the yard address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.

Lone Star Industries, a cement plant on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 23.2 miles north of Spencer. The Energy Information Administration places the Switz City petroleum product terminal 23.3 miles south-west. Bulk cement haulers and fuel tankers that run to those two sites are trucks we buy; have any tank or trailer inspection paperwork in the cab when we arrive.

Of the 140 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in and around Spencer, 42 list machinery and large objects as cargo. Lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them make up that work, and for those we ask for the tractor’s VIN and the trailer’s registration as two separate items.

Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 35 of those carrier filings, the same count as general freight, according to the federal carrier census. For a log truck with a loader or a pole trailer, describe it in full when you contact us: the make, the axle count and any loader serial plate, photographed clearly.

Grain, feed and hay appear on 20 filings in the same FMCSA records. A grain hopper or a straight truck with a farm box fits there, and the title should be in the name of whoever is signing for the sale.

Intrastate operators number 123 here against 17 interstate ones, per FMCSA’s census, and 112 of the carriers are private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck is often parked behind the business it serves, so give us that business address rather than a home address if that is where the keys are.

Drivers tell the same story: the federal carrier census counts 165 working within 100 air miles and 110 beyond that radius. Thirteen carriers in town reported annual mileage, and FMCSA records put their median at 20,000 miles a truck. Have the odometer reading on hand when you call; it is one of the first things we write down.

Spencer’s top fleet in FMCSA’s census fields 14 power units with 8 drivers, the next 13 units with 13 drivers, and the third 10 units with 6 drivers. If you run a fleet of that size and want to sell several units at once, list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we plan the collection as one trip.

Manufacturing holds 2,924 of the 4,550 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, a 64.3 percent share. Box trucks and day cabs that shuttle parts and finished goods between plants are part of what we collect, and any maintenance log a plant fleet keeps should come with the photos.

Builders, excavators and paving outfits make up the 35 construction establishments that the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies near the White River town. A dump truck, a mixer or a roll-off from a contractor’s yard can be picked up from that yard; tell us whether the truck is blocked in by other equipment so we arrive with the right plan.

Around Spencer the farm count is 435, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names corn, soybeans and cattle as the leading products in Owen County. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the tractors that pull hoppers and pots all come out of that farm base.

Around Spencer, a grain truck or cattle pot may be kept in a barn lot or beside a field instead of on a paved yard. Send a photo of the ground around it and tell us whether a tow truck can reach it, and keep the title and any farm plate registration together for the day we come.

• The title for my tri-axle disappeared after a move across Owen County; where near Spencer can I apply for a copy?The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles handles duplicate titles, and its Spencer BMV branch is at 168 E Morgan St, Spencer, 47460, 0.6 miles from the middle of town. Apply for the duplicate there, and tell us when you contact us that it is on its way.
• Can you load my dump truck straight from the Stinesville pit, or should I haul it over to Spencer beforehand?Stinesville’s quarry sits 5.9 miles east of Spencer on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from there. Give us the site contact who can open the gate and point us to the truck.
• Do you take log trucks and lowboys from around Spencer?Logs and lumber appear on 35 local carrier filings and machinery on 42 in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those trucks are ones we buy. Along with the VIN and photos, tell us which yard or farm near Spencer the truck sits on.
