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

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Covington just 1.6 miles north-east of town, and the Bromley Terminal 4 miles to the north-west. If your tractor has pulled fuel tankers between those two sites, note which terminal it loaded at and keep any site access cards or inspection sheets with the title, so the history comes with the photos.

Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: DeCoursey, 3.4 miles south-east, and Ludlow, 4.1 miles north-west. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from either yard can stay on its lot; give us the yard or street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Mine Safety and Health Administration records place Belleview Sand & Gravel 16.8 miles west and a second sand and gravel site, Plant #1, 19.2 miles west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run out to those pits are welcome here; send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, and tell us which pit the truck is kept nearest.

Crushed stone comes from two quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list: the Underground Black River Operation 18.7 miles south-east and MLC - Verona 18.8 miles south-west. If the truck is parked out at a quarry rather than in Covington, we collect it there, so have the site contact ready and confirm the truck can be reached by a tow or a driver.

Of the 114 Covington carriers active on FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo named by 49. The census then counts 20 hauling machinery and large objects, 16 hauling motor vehicles and 11 moving household goods. Box trucks, car haulers, flatbeds and lowboys all fit what we purchase here.

On the same federal census, 70 local carriers operate intrastate only, 44 cross state lines, and 67 run private fleets that haul their own goods. If yours is a private fleet unit, have the registration in the business name and a signed authority from whoever can sell company equipment.

FMCSA registrations show 5 new carriers in 2024 and 5 more in 2025. Among the 27 Covington carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck ran 10,000 miles a year; write the odometer reading down before you call us, along with the VIN.

Covington’s top three fleets field 68 power units with 89 drivers, 23 units with 12 drivers, and 12 units with 8 drivers, according to FMCSA’s census. If you are clearing several units at once, list each VIN, where each one is parked and which title is in hand, so we can plan one collection rather than several.

Covington carriers report to FMCSA that 167 of their drivers go past the 100-mile radius while 157 stay inside it. A truck that is out on a long run when you decide to sell can be collected once it is back, or at the terminal where it finishes; tell us which.

Of the 11 Covington bridges in the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory, 2 carry a posted load limit and not one sits below 14 feet. When you give us a pickup address, mention any posted bridge on the way out, so the collection truck is sized for the route.

According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Covington had 19,534 jobs, of which 1,050 were in manufacturing, 665 in construction, 424 in transportation and warehousing and 263 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and straight trucks from any of those trades qualify; have the registration and any service records together before the pickup.

Kenton County has 52 construction establishments in County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau. Contractors parking a dump truck or flatbed at a yard can sell it from the yard; send us a photo of the plate and the door sticker with the rest.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 453 farms in Kenton County, with honey, horses and goats at the top of its list. A livestock hauler, a stake bed or a horse-trailer pickup from one of those farms is a truck we buy; tell us whether it is titled to the farm or to you personally.

If a farm truck has sat in a barn for years and the title has gone missing, apply to the state’s title agency for a replacement before the sale. We can collect from the farm once the paperwork is ready, so give us the road name and where on the property the truck stands.

• Can you pick up a tractor sitting near the Bromley fuel terminal?The Energy Information Administration places the Bromley Terminal 4 miles north-west of town, and a tractor parked there is collected where it sits. Tell us whose lot it is and who can let us in.
• Do you buy dump trucks working the quarries near Verona?MLC - Verona is 18.8 miles south-west on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a dump truck kept at that quarry can be collected on site. Send the VIN, photos and the name of a site contact.
• Which papers should I gather before a Covington pickup?The title, the current registration, any service or inspection records, and photos of the cab, frame and tires. If the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate.
• I run a private fleet here. Can I sell company trucks?You can; 67 Covington outfits haul their own goods as private fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census. Bring a signed authority from the owner of the business along with the titles.
