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

The Energy Information Administration places one Covington petroleum product terminal 2.4 miles south of Newport and a second 2.8 miles west. For a tanker or fuel-delivery truck that loads at either one, give us the street address of the lot where it sits between runs.

For a Campbell County truck on the terminal run, have the Kentucky title, the current registration and any tank inspection sheets you kept. Send photos of the tank barrel, the valves and the cab dash with your first message.

Ludlow’s rail yard lies 3.2 miles west of Newport and the DeCoursey yard 5.8 miles south, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drayage tractors and yard trucks working those two sites tend to stay close to the river towns, and that is where we would meet yours.

If your tractor pulled chassis or flatbeds out of DeCoursey, send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the door sticker first. With those three in hand we can answer most questions about a Newport pickup by phone.

Dry-van and general-freight work is listed by 21 Newport outfits, out of 35 active ones registered in FMCSA’s carrier census. Six haul household goods, six move motor vehicles and four do driveaway or towaway work, so straight trucks, moving vans and car carriers all sit in local yards alongside dry vans.

Of those 35 carriers, 16 run interstate, 19 stay intrastate and 15 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same federal census. A private-fleet truck kept behind a shop or warehouse is as easy for us to collect as one in a terminal lot; tell us which it is and whether the gate is locked after hours.

In FMCSA’s carrier census, 172 drivers here work within 100 miles and 68 go farther. The same census puts the median at 21,892 miles a year per truck across the eight local carriers that reported it; include your own odometer reading and service log when you get in touch.

The three biggest fleets registered here run 184, 41 and 18 power units, with 55, 80 and 28 drivers respectively, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are retiring several units from a yard like that, list each VIN and plate on one sheet so we can plan the pickup as a single visit.

Owner-operators count too: the federal carrier census logged two new Newport carriers in 2024 and one in 2025. A single tractor parked in a Newport driveway is a pickup we handle the same way as a fleet lot, once the title is in your name and signed.

Newport held 9,472 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts: transportation and warehousing accounted for 421, factories for 356, builders for 286 and wholesalers for 155. Box trucks from the warehouses and stake beds from the builders are both welcome; have the registration card and keys together before we arrive.

Twenty-nine construction firms operate from Newport addresses, in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Mine Safety and Health Administration listings show Belleview Sand & Gravel 19.3 miles west, Petersburg Sand 21 miles west, and the Underground Black River Operation and Butler Quarry 20.5 and 21.6 miles south-east, so a dump truck hauling aggregate from those pits back toward the river is exactly the sort of vehicle we collect.

For a dump or roll-off truck, send a photo of the bed raised, the hoist and the data plate on the frame rail. If it is stored at a quarry gate rather than in town, give us the site name and the contact who lets visitors in.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 493 farms in Campbell County, with cattle, corn and horses leading. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and horse-trailer tow rigs from those farms all fit what we buy.

Farm-plated trucks still need a clean Kentucky title in the seller’s name; if the title is lost, ask Kentucky’s title agency for a duplicate before booking the pickup. We will come out to the barn or the field gate, so a pin on a map helps more than a mailing address.

• Will you collect a truck parked near the Covington fuel terminals?Both Covington terminals sit within 2.8 miles of Newport by the Energy Information Administration’s listing, and a truck parked by either is within our pickup area; send the lot address and a contact on site.
• Do you buy car haulers and driveaway rigs here?Six Newport carriers move motor vehicles and four run driveaway or towaway service, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and those trucks are on our list along with general-freight tractors.
• Will you pick up a dump truck that stays at a quarry south-east of Newport?Butler Quarry and the Underground Black River Operation lie 21.6 and 20.5 miles south-east of Newport in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we will meet the truck at the site if you arrange gate access.
• Which documents does a truck seller in Newport need on hand?Campbell County sellers need the Kentucky title signed in their name, the registration and any service or inspection records; if the title is missing, request a duplicate from Kentucky’s title agency first.
