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

The Energy Information Administration places the Big Sandy asphalt terminal 1.2 miles north of Catlettsburg and the Viney Branch petroleum product terminal 3.5 miles south. A tractor that has shuttled loads between those two gates may well be parked at one of them when you call, so tell us which lot it sits in and whether a gate pass is needed to reach it.

Marathon Petroleum’s liquid bulk terminal, 3.6 miles south of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is another stop for tank work on this side of Boyd County. If your rig has hauled from it, gather the registration and any annual inspection sheets before we talk, and send clear photos of the tractor, the tank and the VIN plate.

South of Catlettsburg, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Branham & Baker Coal Terminal at 6.7 miles and the Kentucky Coal Terminal at 7 miles, both as coal preparation plants. Six local carriers name coal and coke as a cargo in FMCSA’s carrier census, so a dump truck or end-dump tractor from that corridor is the sort of vehicle we buy here.

Farther south, Dredge #1 is a coal mine 16.1 miles south of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A truck kept at a mine site can be collected there; send us the site address, a contact who can open the gate, and a photo of the title so we know whose name is on it.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, puts the Ashland yard 5.2 miles north-west of Catlettsburg and the AK Steel yard 7.3 miles out in the same direction. Day cabs that work freight off those sidings are often parked close to them between shifts.

If your tractor is parked by either yard, give us the cross street or the lot name rather than a mailing address. Add the odometer reading and the VIN to your first message, since every later question about the truck starts from those two numbers.

Of the 50 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Catlettsburg, general freight is the cargo for 18 and machinery or large objects for 16 on their registrations. Private fleets account for 33 of them in the same federal census, meaning outfits whose trucks carry their own goods: lowboys, flatbeds and straight trucks attached to a contractor or plant rather than a for-hire operation.

Most of these operations stay near home; FMCSA’s carrier census splits them into 27 intrastate and 23 interstate carriers, and records 114 drivers working within a 100-mile radius against 38 who go beyond it. A truck that has spent its working life on Boyd County roads is usually still in the county, so we plan the pickup at your yard.

Per FMCSA’s census, the biggest local fleet runs 25 power units with 34 drivers, the next 11 units and the third 7, and two new carriers registered here in 2025 after three in 2024. Whether you are retiring one tractor from a small outfit or several from a larger one, have each title and registration ready, matched to its VIN.

Catlettsburg carriers had 43 trucks pulled in for roadside checks across two years, and the median model year on those FMCSA roadside inspection records is 2014. Slightly over half of that Catlettsburg group, 55.8 percent by the same FMCSA roadside inspection records, carried a model year at least ten years back.

Among 20 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 22,785 miles per truck each year. Whatever the year on your title, write the model year, engine make and current odometer reading in your first note so we can match the truck you describe to the one we see.

Kentucky titles are issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and for Catlettsburg that is the Boyd County Clerk at 2800 Louisa Street, 0.3 miles from the center of town. If the title is missing, the clerk there is where a duplicate is requested, and it is a short walk for most sellers in town.

Bring photo identification and the VIN when you visit the Boyd County Clerk, and if a lender was ever recorded on the title, ask the office what lien release the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet needs. A clean title in your name is what lets the sale close at the truck.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 1,221 jobs in Catlettsburg, 321 of them in transportation and warehousing and 149 in construction. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 18 construction establishments, the kind of employer that keeps dump trucks, roll-offs and flatbeds parked at a contractor’s shop.

Beyond town, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 187 farms in Boyd County, where cattle, honey and sheep lead the list. A livestock hauler or farm straight truck kept on a farm property can be picked up there; tell us whether the lane will take a rollback or a tow rig.
