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

Grain, feed and hay top the cargo list for Union City’s 46 active carriers, with 14 naming it in FMCSA’s carrier census. A hopper-bottom tractor or straight truck that has moved corn and soybeans to Randolph County elevators fits what we buy; have the title and registration in one place before you call.

Ten of those Union City carriers haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, according to the same FMCSA census, while 12 carry general freight and 9 move farm supplies. A log truck with a loader, or a flatbed that ran lumber, may be parked at a sawmill yard or a wood lot rather than in town, so tell us the road and the nearest crossroad.

Of the Union City carriers in FMCSA’s census, 36 run private fleets hauling their own goods, 26 stay intrastate, and 20 cross state lines. With the Ohio border at the edge of town, a truck registered in Indiana may sit on an Ohio farm; give us the exact address on either side of the line.

The three biggest operations in FMCSA’s Union City listings run 8, 6 and 6 power units, with 4, 6 and 5 drivers. An owner selling one tractor out of a handful can send a photo of each side, the cab interior and the VIN plate, and we sort the details from there.

A typical Union City truck covers 19,250 miles a year, the median across the 11 local carriers that gave FMCSA their mileage. Write the current odometer reading down next to the VIN when you contact us, so the two figures arrive together.

Service records, inspection sheets and a list of parts swapped should be gathered from the shop or the cab door pocket. A small fleet often keeps those in a farm office binder; photograph the pages if you would rather keep the originals.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists US Aggregates-Ridgeville Quarry, a crushed-stone pit 11.8 miles west of Union City. Dump trucks and end-dump trailers that have loaded stone there count as part of what we purchase, and we can collect one straight from a quarry lot if the operator lets us through the gate.

North-west of town by 18.6 miles, US Aggregates-Portland Quarry appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as another crushed-stone operation. If the truck sits in a contractor’s yard up toward Portland, name a person who can meet us and open the yard on the day of collection.

Down at Richmond, 24.1 miles south, the Us Aggregates Richmond Plant is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a sand and gravel operation. A tri-axle that ran gravel from Richmond back north can be picked up at the plant, a job site or your shed, whichever is easiest for you.

Of Union City’s 993 jobs in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 306, or 30.8 percent, in manufacturing. Box trucks and tractors that served plant docks here can be collected from a loading lot; check with the plant first that an outside driver may enter.

That same 2023 LEHD tally from the Census Bureau puts 100 Union City jobs, 10.1 percent, in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 675 farms across Randolph County, with corn, soybeans and hogs at the top of the list, so a grain truck or livestock hauler is likely to be parked by a barn or bin site when we arrive.

A dump truck or flatbed that belonged to a building crew should come with its title in the business name, plus a signature from whoever can sign for that business.

Find the title before anything else; if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and that request should start early since the sale cannot close without it. Check that the name on the title matches the seller’s name exactly.

Alongside the title, keep the current registration, any lien release from a bank or farm credit lender, and your photo ID. Where the truck is owned jointly with a spouse or a partner in the farm, every name on the title signs.

• Our grain truck sits by the bins on a Randolph County farm; do you pick up from there?Randolph County holds 675 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we go to the farm rather than asking you to haul the truck into town. Give us the farm’s road address and mention any gate code or low branches on the farm lane.
• I hauled stone out of the Ridgeville quarry in my dump truck; would you take that truck?US Aggregates-Ridgeville Quarry is 11.8 miles west of Union City on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks that served it are trucks we purchase. Tell us where it is parked now and send photos with the VIN.
• My Indiana-registered tractor is parked across the state line in Ohio; does that change anything?Union City’s 20 interstate carriers in FMCSA’s census show how often trucks here cross that line, and we collect on either side of it. Have the Indiana title and registration ready and give us the Ohio address.
