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

West of Sunman along the road to Napoleon, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists three operations at the Napoleon Quarry site, 12.1 miles out: two dimension-stone quarries and one crushed-stone quarry. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs stone out of there is one we collect from the quarry yard or from your own lot, whichever is easier for you, so tell us where it parks between loads.

A little further on, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places New Point Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 14.2 miles west of town. If your truck splits its days between the two quarries, send us photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate with your first message.

Heading east toward the Ohio line, New Trenton Pit is a sand and gravel operation 11.6 miles from Sunman, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Gravel trucks that load there often sit at a farm or shop outside town on weekends; give us that address rather than the pit’s, and the pickup gets planned around where the truck really is.

The Rising Sun Plant, another sand and gravel site, is 23.7 miles south-east of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A truck that has worked both pits is still one pickup for us. Keep the registration card and any service receipts in the cab so they travel with it.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 53 active carriers based here, and 40 of them run private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A farm operation or a builder that keeps one or two trucks for its own work fits that picture, and we buy single trucks from owners like that as readily as a whole yard.

Lumber stands out in the cargo each carrier declares to FMCSA: 14 carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber, next to 18 for general freight, 17 for machinery and large objects, and 13 for grain, feed and hay. Log trucks, lowboys hauling equipment and grain hoppers are all trucks we buy, with or without the trailer.

On authority, the same federal census splits the town’s carriers into 25 licensed for interstate work and 28 that stay inside Indiana. Either way, the title is what transfers the truck; the operating authority stays with your business.

Carrier filings with FMCSA count 73 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 169 who go beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long run when you call us, tell us the day it will be back in Sunman and where it will be parked.

Fourteen Sunman carriers gave FMCSA a yearly mileage, and their middle figure sits at 30,490 miles a truck. Have the odometer reading handy when you get in touch; it is one of the first things we ask, along with the VIN.

In FMCSA’s carrier census the biggest operation in town has 43 power units and 45 drivers, with the next two at 18 trucks and 14 trucks. An owner with several tractors to sell can send one list of VINs, and we will work through them together rather than one call per truck.

Sunman-based rigs stopped for 44 checks from September 2024 through August 2026, and in FMCSA roadside inspection records the middle of those trucks is a 2019 model. Note your own truck’s year, make and engine on a slip with the VIN before you call.

In that same set of inspected trucks, 29.55 percent were ten or more model years old, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. Keep a recent inspection report with the truck’s papers; it lists the unit’s details in one place.

Around Sunman, Ripley County holds 835 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and hogs leading. Grain trucks and livestock haulers often wait in a machine shed through the off-season; we can collect from the farm itself, so give us the lane address and say whether a tow truck can reach the shed.

Manufacturing holds 75 of Sunman’s 425 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, or 17.6 percent of the town’s work. Box trucks and straight trucks that served a plant here are trucks we buy as well.

A contractor selling a dump truck or flatbed from one of those firms needs the title in the business’s name, or a signed letter showing who can sign for it.

Titles in this state are handled by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles through its BMV branches. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists its Batesville branch at 1132 Tekulve Rd Ste 3, Batesville, 47006, as the nearest one, about 7.6 miles from Sunman.

If the title has gone missing, apply for a duplicate with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles before the truck is collected, and let us know the application is in. Bring your ID and the VIN to the Batesville counter so the request matches the truck exactly.

• Do you collect trucks that work the Napoleon or New Point quarries?Napoleon Quarry sits 12.1 miles west of Sunman and New Point Quarry 14.2 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from either site or from wherever the truck is parked in town.
• My Sunman truck’s title is missing - which counter do I visit?Sunman owners can drive 7.6 miles to 1132 Tekulve Rd Ste 3 in Batesville, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch the agency lists nearest, and apply for a duplicate there.
• Can I sell a single farm truck rather than a fleet?Forty of the 53 carriers FMCSA lists in Sunman run private fleets, many of them small, and one truck from a farm in Ripley County is a sale we handle the same way as several.
