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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cedar Rapids Jaw, a crushed-stone quarry 1.5 miles north-east of Franklin, and Franklin Quarry & Mill, another crushed-stone operation 6.9 miles north. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs between those pits and Simpson County job sites can stay on the quarry lot while we arrange collection; tell us which gate it sits behind.

If your rock truck is parked inside a quarry fence, name the person who can let us in and the hours the site is open. Send photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate before anyone heads out to Cedar Rapids Jaw, and check that the title VIN matches the plate.

Simpson County’s 400 farms, tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lead with corn first, soybeans second and cattle third. Among carriers based here, 60 list grain, feed and hay as cargo and 44 list farm supplies, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Hopper-bottom tractors, grain trucks and livestock rigs from those farms are all trucks we purchase.

A farm truck often sits in a shed or at the edge of a field after harvest. Give us the road it is closest to, have the Kentucky title in the owner’s name ready, and if the truck is registered to the farm rather than to you, tell us who signs for it.

FMCSA’s carrier census records 195 active carriers based in Franklin: 80 cross state lines, 115 stay within Kentucky, and 136 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Nine new carriers registered in 2024 and nine more in 2025 under the same federal register.

Fleet size here varies widely. The three biggest carriers on FMCSA’s census run 120, 64 and 24 power units, while most are a truck or two. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard, list the units with their VINs and we will plan one visit around all of them.

Among 51 carriers reporting mileage, FMCSA’s census puts the median at 13,333 miles per truck a year, and drivers split almost evenly between 335 working within 100 miles and 318 going farther. Tell us the odometer reading when you first contact us; it is the first figure we ask for.

Manufacturing accounts for 2,466 of Franklin’s 8,314 jobs, or 29.7 percent, in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and transportation and warehousing adds 957 more. General freight is the most common cargo listed, carried by 69 local carriers in FMCSA’s census, with 52 hauling machinery and large objects.

A box truck or day cab tied to a plant dock may be parked at the shipper’s lot rather than at home. Tell us the facility and whether a guard or receiving clerk needs notice, and keep the registration and any service records together in the cab for the pickup.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists RJ Corman, a liquid bulk terminal 12 miles north of Franklin. On the North American Rail Network, the Memphis Junction yard lies 16.5 miles north and the Bristow yard 23 miles north-east. Tank tractors and flatbeds that shuttle to those sites can be collected from wherever they finish the week.

Construction work also keeps trucks moving: County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 40 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments in the county, and LEHD counts 198 construction jobs in Franklin for 2023. Flatbeds, roll-offs and mixers from that work are on our list too.

Across 122 Franklin trucks stopped between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show 2020 as the median model year. Of those trucks in the FMCSA inspection records, 17.2 percent were ten or more model years old.

Whatever the model year, the steps are the same: a clear title, the current registration, photos of all four sides, and the VIN. If the Kentucky title is lost, request a duplicate through the state’s title agency before the sale so the transfer can go ahead.
