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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Bassett Stone Company, a crushed-stone quarry, just 1.3 miles south-east of Monticello. A dump truck or tri-axle that has spent its days hauling aggregate out of Bassett is likely parked within a few minutes of the square, so give us the yard address and a name at the gate and we will arrange collection there.

Albany Quarry sits 18 miles south-west, also on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of crushed-stone operations. If your truck runs the stretch toward Albany and is kept closer to Clinton County than to Monticello, tell us where it sleeps at night; we collect from the place it is parked rather than asking you to move it.

For a quarry truck, photos of the bed, the hoist, the frame rails and the door tag help us identify the exact build. Keep the title and current Kentucky registration together, and add any scale tickets or service records you still hold.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 314 active carriers based in Monticello, and 100 of them list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo they carry. A log truck with a loader, a pole trailer or a flatbed set up for sawn lumber is a common build in this town.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 174 local jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, about 5 percent of the 3,501 jobs tallied. If your tractor has been pulling logs to a mill, mention the loader make and the trailer that goes with it, and whether you want to sell them together or keep the trailer.

Log trucks are often parked at a landing or a woodlot instead of a paved lot. Send us the gravel road or GPS pin and note whether a lowboy can turn around there, and we will plan the pickup around the ground.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 708 farms in Wayne County, with cattle, corn and soybeans the top commodities. Eighty-nine Monticello carriers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, haul grain, feed or hay, so hopper trailers, cattle pots and flatbeds stacked with round bales all work these roads.

On Wayne County farms a hauler is often registered under the operation’s name and not under any one family member. Check whose name sits on the Kentucky title before you contact us; if it reads as a family partnership or an LLC, the person signing needs to be someone with authority for that entity.

Farm trucks sometimes sit in a barn lot between harvests. Tell us which field entrance or barn the truck is behind and whether a rollback can reach it, so the collection crew brings the right equipment.

Burnside Terminal, a rail yard 17.5 miles north-east of Monticello, appears on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A truck that shuttles freight to that yard may be kept near Burnside, and we collect from there as readily as from town.

At 20.6 miles north-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal, and the same rail network map shows a transload yard at that spot. If your tanker or day cab worked the transload, keep any tank wash slips or terminal paperwork with the title.

General freight is cargo for 79 local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and machinery and large objects for 70. Lowboys and step decks that move equipment to the rail sites or between job sites should come with photos of the deck, the ramps and the axle tags.

Of the 314 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 266 operate intrastate only and 48 cross state lines, while 230 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. Many sellers here are farmers, loggers or contractors who own one or two trucks, and the sale is handled with the owner directly.

The three biggest Monticello fleets listed by FMCSA run 12, 6 and 5 power units. If you are thinning a small fleet, list each VIN and where each truck is parked; several trucks in one yard can go on one collection.

Across 62 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median comes to 10,252 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and the engine hours off the dash and include them in your first message.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 37 Monticello-based trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2005 and about 76 percent ten or more model years old. Whatever the year of yours, the title, the registration and the VIN plate are what we check first.

If a Wayne County title has been lost, a replacement comes through Kentucky’s title agency before the sale closes. Start that request early and tell us it is in progress, so the rest of the details can be lined up meanwhile.

New entrants keep appearing too: FMCSA’s carrier census logs 9 new Monticello carriers in 2024 and 7 in 2025. A newer outfit selling a truck it bought used should have the signed-over title from the prior owner in hand.

• Our tri-axle sits inside the Bassett Stone yard off the quarry road. Will your crew collect it from the quarry itself?Bassett Stone Company is 1.3 miles south-east of Monticello on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, so collection there is close to town. Send the name of whoever unlocks the Bassett gate and which weekdays the yard is staffed.
• I keep my log truck at a woodlot off a gravel road in Wayne County. Can a crew reach a landing like that?Logging is cargo for 100 of Monticello’s 314 carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, so trucks parked at landings are familiar here. Send a GPS pin and a note on turning room for a lowboy.
• The grain truck is titled to our family farm, so which of us signs the Kentucky title over?Wayne County has 708 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and many trucks here are titled to the operation. The person named on the title, or someone with authority for the farm entity, signs it over.
• My truck is parked up near the Burnside rail yard, so must it be driven south to Monticello before pickup?Burnside Terminal is 17.5 miles north-east on the North American Rail Network, and the truck can stay where it is. Tell us the address and who can meet the crew.
