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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 419 active carriers based in Paducah, and 296 of them run private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your tractor or straight truck belongs to a business like that, have the title in the company’s name and a signature from whoever is authorised to sign for it before we collect.

Of those 419 Paducah carriers, 282 are registered with FMCSA as intrastate and 137 as interstate. A Kentucky-only hauler and a truck that has crossed state lines both qualify; tell us which kind of authority yours ran under and send the registration along with the VIN.

The three biggest fleets on the federal census in Paducah run 35, 31 and 30 power units. If you are selling several units from a fleet that size, list each one with its VIN and where it is parked, and we will plan collection around the yard rather than truck by truck.

General freight leads the cargo types Paducah carriers declare to FMCSA, with 158 of them, and 104 list machinery and large objects. Dry vans, flatbeds and lowboy tractors all fit that mix, so tell us the body or trailer setup when you send photos of the cab and frame.

Forty-seven local carriers on the federal carrier census haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 45 carry grain, feed and hay. A log truck or grain hauler parked at a farm or a landing outside McCracken County can stay where it is; give us the road name and a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Paducah-McCracken Riverport four miles west of the city and the TransMontaigne liquid bulk terminal 3.2 miles east. Trucks that have shuttled between the docks and those tanks can be collected at either end; let us know whose lot the truck stands on so the pickup is cleared with them.

North Yard, a rail yard 2.2 miles south-east of downtown, appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a day cab that has worked drayage off that yard, send us the odometer reading, the VIN and a clear shot of the fifth wheel.

The Energy Information Administration places one Paducah petroleum product terminal 3.2 miles east and a second 7 miles east. A fuel tractor that served those racks is a truck we buy; keep any terminal inspection or service paperwork you have and pass it on with the photos.

Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records near Paducah: Dredge Percie McGeorge, 3.8 miles east, and Dredge Pine Bluff, 8 miles east. Dump trucks and tractor-trailers moving aggregate off those sites are part of what we purchase.

If your dump truck is parked at a gravel site, tell us whether a tow rig can reach it on a hard surface and who on site can meet our driver. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the data plate on the door jamb along with the VIN.

According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Paducah holds 30,856 jobs, with 2,180 in transportation and warehousing and 1,647 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and tractors from distribution work are welcome; bring the registration and any service records the warehouse kept.

Construction accounts for 1,220 of those LEHD-counted jobs and manufacturing for 1,024, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 134 construction establishments in the area. A contractor selling a dump truck, flatbed or mixer can send photos straight from the job site.

Soybeans lead the crop list for McCracken County’s 339 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of corn and wheat. If your grain truck sits in a barn between harvests, note the farm address and who can open the shed for our driver.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 201 trucks from Paducah carriers; those FMCSA roadside inspection records show 2019 as the median model year and 26.9 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the model year on your title, give us the year, make and model first.

Across the 102 Paducah carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median is 11,000 miles per truck. The federal census also counts 1,120 local drivers working within 100 miles and 517 going farther, so read the odometer on the day you contact us and include it with the photos.

• The tractor is sitting at the Paducah-McCracken Riverport. Does your driver collect from the riverport lot?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the riverport four miles west of Paducah, and our driver comes to the truck there. Tell us whose yard it is in and who can let us through.
• Will you take a grain truck off a soybean and corn farm near Paducah?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 339 farms in McCracken County, and grain trucks from them are among the trucks we purchase. Send the title, the VIN and photos taken where it is stored.
• Our Paducah business hauls its own goods with five trucks. Can all five go at once?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 296 private fleets in Paducah, and selling several units at once is fine. Send a list with each VIN, its title holder and the address where it is parked.
• What paperwork should I have ready for a dump truck from the gravel dredges?Dredge Percie McGeorge and Dredge Pine Bluff, both appear on Mine Safety and Health Administration records east of Paducah; for a dump truck from either site we need the title, current registration and any service records you hold.
