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

The Hickman-Fulton County Port sits 0.9 miles south of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of ports. A hopper bottom or grain trailer that shuttles loads down to the riverbank may be parked at the port lot or back on a farm when you call; either spot works, so give us the exact address and a note on the gate or lane.

Trucks that run short hops to the river tend to sit between harvests. If yours has been parked near the dock since fall, send a few photos of the cab, the frame and the trailer coupling taken where it stands, and tell us whether a lowboy or a tow rig can reach it from the road.

Around Hickman, the leading crops are soybeans, corn and wheat, and the 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA counts 175 farms across Fulton County. Grain tractors, straight trucks with dump beds and farm-plated haulers are the equipment that mix of acres keeps busy, and every one of them is a truck we will look at.

Grain, feed or hay shows up as cargo for 25 of Hickman’s 33 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, while farm supplies appear on 16 of those Mississippi River town registrations. If your truck has worked those loads, write down which seasons it hauled and keep its registration with the title, noting whether it carries farm plates or for-hire plates.

FMCSA’s census shows 27 of Hickman’s carriers running as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire, with 17 operating intrastate and 16 crossing state lines. A private-fleet owner selling a single tractor or a spare straight truck only needs the title in the operation’s name and someone who can sign for it.

Fleet sizes here stay small. The three biggest on FMCSA’s census have 23, 8 and 7 power units, with 13, 5 and 2 drivers respectively. Whether you are selling one unit from a bigger yard or the only rig a family runs, have the VIN and the current registration card in hand before you contact us.

Ten local carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 7,500 miles a truck each year. Read that as a plain figure about seasonal farm work, nothing more, and include the current odometer reading with your photos so we can match the truck to its paperwork.

Hauls in this county also lean toward machinery: seven carriers on the FMCSA register list machinery and large objects, and eight list general freight. A lowboy or step-deck that moves combines and planters between farms belongs on that list, so mention the trailer when you describe the tractor.

Hickman’s 510 jobs in 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, include 100 in manufacturing, which is 19.6 percent, and 56 in wholesale trade, about 11 percent. Box trucks and day cabs that serve plant docks and wholesale warehouses near town are as welcome here as the grain rigs.

Seventeen miles east, the North American Rail Network records the Fulton rail yard. A tractor that runs between Hickman and that yard may be kept at either end, so tell us which town the truck is in on the day you want it collected.

Kentucky titles are handled by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and the one serving Hickman is the Fulton County Clerk at 2216 Myron Cory Drive, Hickman, 42050, 1.5 miles from the center of town. A Hickman seller without the original title asks that office for a copy, and the truck changes hands once the copy is signed.

Bring your photo ID and the VIN to the clerk’s counter, plus any lien release if the truck was financed. A title in an estate’s or a farm partnership’s name needs the paperwork showing who can sign, and the clerk’s staff can tell you which form applies.
