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

Cannonsburg sits in Boyd County with petroleum terminals to the east, coal preparation plants to the south-east and rail yards at Ashland to the north, and the trucks that work from here are the tankers, coal haulers and dump trucks that serve those sites.

Selling a truck in Cannonsburg? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Tankers on the east side, toward the Marathon dock

A liquid bulk terminal run by Marathon Petroleum sits 5.3 miles east of Cannonsburg on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of freight facilities, and the Energy Information Administration places the Viney Branch petroleum product terminal at the same distance in the same direction. A tractor that has pulled tank trailers between those racks and the stations along the highway east of town is one we want to hear about; tell us which terminal it loaded at and whether it is a day cab or a sleeper, and send the registration with the photos.

Six point one miles north-east of town is the Big Sandy asphalt terminal, a second petroleum product site on the Energy Information Administration’s list. If your truck has hauled from there, keep the trailer and the tractor in the same set of photos even when only the tractor is for sale, so we can see how it was rigged to work.

A tanker parked at a yard near either terminal does not need to come back into Cannonsburg before it is sold. Give us the lot’s address and the name of whoever can let us in, and the collection is arranged there rather than at your house.

Prep plants and yards

Branham & Baker, Kentucky Coal Terminal and the Ashland yard

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two coal preparation plants south-east of Cannonsburg: Branham & Baker Coal Terminal at 7.6 miles and Kentucky Coal Terminal at 8 miles. Whether your coal truck is a tri-axle dump or a tractor that pulled end-dump trailers to those plants, note the axle count and the trailer it ran with when you write to us.

North-east of town the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Ashland rail yard at 7.7 miles, and the same network puts the AK Steel yard 8.6 miles to the north. A truck that has shuttled between those yards and the coal plants will have an odometer reading, a VIN and a registration card, and those three are what we ask for before anything else.

If the truck is still parked at a loading point near one of the coal plants, we collect it from there. The address and a phone number for someone at the gate are all the pickup needs; the truck does not have to be moved back toward Cannonsburg first.

Crushed stone from AA Limestone, south-west of Cannonsburg

Thirteen miles south-west of Cannonsburg, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists AA Limestone, a crushed-stone quarry. Dump trucks hauling crushed stone from a pit at that distance spend their days on the roads between the quarry and the job, and a truck of that kind is one we purchase; photograph the bed, the tailgate and the frame as well as the cab.

Construction carried a 10.6 percent share of Cannonsburg’s employment in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A contractor’s service truck, a flatbed with a knuckle crane or a water truck counts for us as much as a highway tractor does; tell us the body type and the make, and have the title and the registration together before we arrive.

A stone or construction truck is often titled to a business rather than to the person who calls us. Check whose name is on the Kentucky title before you send it, and if it is a company’s, have someone who can sign for that company ready on the day.

Cattle, honey and sheep in the hills around town

Across Boyd County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 187 farms, with cattle, honey and sheep as the county’s leading products. A single-axle straight truck with a livestock body, or a tractor that pulled a stock trailer from a farm near Cannonsburg, is a truck we purchase; tell us the body or trailer it ran with and send the title with the photos.

A farm truck parked behind the barn is collected from where it stands. Tell us whether the ground beside it is firm enough for a rollback and whether there is a gate or a cattle guard between the road and the truck, and we plan the pickup around that.

The Kyova Mall branch, a short run from town

Kentucky titles are issued through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and its county clerk offices handle the counter work; the nearest to Cannonsburg is the Boyd County Clerk - Kyova Mall Branch Office at 10699 US-60, Ashland, 41102, which the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s listing puts 1.6 miles from town. A missing title is replaced through that office, in the name on the registration; sort it before the collection date and send us a photo of the new title when it arrives.

That branch is close enough to Cannonsburg that a title question can be settled on the same trip as the rest of the sale’s paperwork. Take the registration card and the VIN with you, and if the truck is titled to a business, take whatever shows you can act for it.

The questions we get asked in Cannonsburg

  • My tanker is parked at a yard near the Marathon terminal east of Cannonsburg. Can the pickup happen at that lot instead of my house?The Marathon Petroleum liquid bulk terminal is 5.3 miles east of Cannonsburg on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ facility list, and we collect from a yard near it as readily as from a driveway in town; send the lot’s address and a contact who can open the gate.
  • I lost the title to a coal truck. Which clerk’s office near Cannonsburg replaces a Kentucky title?The Boyd County Clerk - Kyova Mall Branch Office at 10699 US-60, Ashland, 41102, is 1.6 miles from Cannonsburg on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s listing of county clerk offices, and that is where a Kentucky duplicate title is applied for.
  • Do you take a dump truck that has only worked the AA Limestone quarry?AA Limestone, 13 miles south-west of Cannonsburg on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is the sort of site a dump truck runs for years, and a dump truck is one of the types we purchase; send photos of the bed and the frame along with the VIN.
  • For a stock truck off a Boyd County farm, what do you need from me before the pickup?Boyd County’s 187 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture raise cattle, honey and sheep, and a stock truck from one of them needs the same three things as any other truck we purchase: the title, the registration and photos of all four sides.
