Sell your semi truck for cash in Lexington-Fayette the easy and convenient way

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places two rail yards about 3 miles west of Lexington-Fayette: LEXINGTON (NS) and LEXINGTON (RJCC). If your tractor shuttles freight to and from those tracks, it may be parked in a yard lot rather than at your home; give us the street address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

RJ Corman, a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates roughly 3 miles west, sits beside those yards. A tanker tractor that loads there should come with its title and current registration in the cab or in your hands, so the paperwork is settled when we arrive at the lot.

Central Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 3.7 miles west, and Richmond Road Quarry, 5.3 miles out, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that work those pits are often kept on site between loads, so tell us which quarry gate to use and send photos of the bed, frame and cab.

Two petroleum product terminals named LEXINGTON, at 4.6 and 4.7 miles west according to the Energy Information Administration, supply fuel to the surrounding counties. If your tank truck has run racks there, keep any inspection or service records with the title; they let us confirm the equipment fitted to the chassis without a second trip.

Lexington-Fayette has 1,946 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 1,301 of them operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a box truck or tractor usually holds the title in the company’s name, so have an officer able to sign ready before pickup.

General freight is listed by 800 of those carriers, with 341 handling machinery and large objects, 181 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 176 moving motor vehicles, per FMCSA’s census. Flatbeds, lowboys, log trailers and car haulers turn up here alongside dry vans; tell us the trailer type when you describe a tractor, even if you are selling the tractor alone.

Of the same carriers, FMCSA records 1,545 as intrastate-only and 401 as interstate. A truck that has never left Kentucky still changes hands on its Kentucky title, so find that title, or start replacing it with the state’s title agency, before we schedule collection.

FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020 for the 1,952 Lexington-Fayette trucks checked from August 2024 to August 2026, and 23.9 percent of them were built ten or more years earlier. Whatever year yours is, the VIN and odometer reading are the two details we ask for first.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 108 new carriers registered here in 2024 and 91 in 2025. If you started an operation in those years and are now selling the truck, bring the purchase paperwork along with the title, since a lienholder’s release may be on file with the lender rather than in your glovebox.

Drivers based here split 7,714 working within 100 miles and 3,242 going beyond, according to FMCSA. Among the 308 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median is 12,250 miles per truck; a truck parked at a regional customer’s site can be collected there instead of being driven back to town.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 208,353 jobs in the area, including 11,158 in manufacturing, 10,760 in construction and 9,343 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks from plants and dump trucks from building sites are both trucks we purchase; a business seller should have the registration and a signed title from whoever is named on it.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 630 construction establishments and 26 warehousing establishments in Fayette County. A contractor retiring a dump truck or flatbed can leave it at the job yard; send its location and any service records you still have.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 682 farms in Fayette County, with equine, cattle and corn as the leading products. Grain trucks and pickups pulling horse or stock trailers are often titled to a farm business, so check whose name is on the title before you contact us.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists a rail intermodal ramp at Georgetown, KY, 16.7 miles north of Lexington-Fayette. A day cab that pulls containers between that ramp and Lexington does not need to come into town; we can meet it in Georgetown or wherever it is parked.

For a container tractor, send photos of the fifth wheel, tires and cab interior, plus the registration card. If the truck is leased onto another operation, have the lease release or the owner’s consent in writing.

• My dump truck stays parked at Central Quarry or Richmond Road Quarry between loads. Can you collect it at that quarry gate west of Lexington-Fayette?We will come to the quarry: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Central Quarry 3.7 miles and Richmond Road Quarry 5.3 miles west of Lexington-Fayette, so name the site and who can open its gate.
• The Kentucky title for my Fayette County truck is missing. What should I do first?Apply for a replacement through Kentucky’s title agency before pickup, and tell us it is on the way so we can line up the rest of the paperwork while you wait.
• My day cab works the Georgetown, KY container ramp. Does it have to be driven down to Lexington-Fayette?Leave it where it is; the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts that intermodal ramp 16.7 miles north, and we collect from the address you give us.
