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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a coal preparation plant 8.4 miles north of Pikeville and the Huff Preparation Plant 11 miles east. A tractor or dump truck that has shuttled raw coal into either plant may still be parked near the plant gate rather than in town, so give us that address and the name of whoever can let us on the property.

Two coal mines appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records nearby: UG #1, 11.7 miles west, and Newman Branch S1, 12.2 miles to the south-west. If your truck is sitting at a mine site, photograph the cab, the frame and the VIN plate where it stands, and send the title holder’s name with the pictures.

Of the 356 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Pikeville, 72 list coal and coke among their cargo. That makes a coal hauler an ordinary truck for us to collect around here; tell us the body type, whether it is a tri-axle, a tandem or an end-dump trailer setup, and where it is parked.

Nineteen point three miles south of town, Pine Mountain Stone appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry. Aggregate trucks that load there often stay parked on the quarry side of the county, and we can collect from a lot down that way just as easily as from a driveway in Pikeville.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Martin rail yard 14 miles north-west and the Williamson yard 20.5 miles north-east. A truck that has worked transload or yard runs at either one can be picked up near the yard; have the registration and the title in the same name before we arrive.

Williamson lies across the state line in West Virginia, so if your truck is titled in one state and parked in the other, mention both when you first get in touch so the paperwork lines up with where the truck actually is.

General freight is the top cargo line in FMCSA’s carrier census for Pikeville at 94 carriers, with machinery and large objects at 75 and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 53. Lowboys and heavy-haul tractors, log trucks and van tractors all fit what we collect from Pike County owners.

Most of these operations stay inside Kentucky: the same federal census counts 295 intrastate carriers against 61 interstate ones, and 248 of the total run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck sold by a business needs a signature from someone authorised to sign the title for that company, so line that person up first.

FMCSA’s carrier filings also record 602 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 840 working beyond it. Among 49 Pikeville carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median was 12,500 miles per truck; give us your own odometer reading when you describe the truck.

One carrier based in Pikeville runs 624 power units and 487 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, while the next two register 75 and 67 power units. If you manage a fleet of that kind and are clearing several trucks, send a list of the VINs and the yard where each one sits, and we will plan the collections together.

New operators keep arriving as well: FMCSA logged seven new Pikeville carriers in 2024 and another seven in 2025. A single owner-operator selling the one truck they started with goes through the same steps as a fleet, with a title, a registration and photos of the truck where it is parked.

Across 375 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year for Pikeville-based carriers at 2018, with 43.47 percent of the trucks ten or more years old.

Whatever model year yours is, start with the VIN, the make and model and the odometer reading. If you kept any inspection reports from roadside stops or service records from the shop, keep them with the title so they travel with the truck.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 11,639 jobs in Pikeville in 2023, including 147 in construction, 117 in wholesale trade, 116 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, and 62 in manufacturing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from that work are all trucks we collect.

Pike County’s 42 construction establishments, as counted in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, keep dump trucks and flatbeds on job sites around Pikeville. A contractor selling a truck off a job site can leave it there; send the site address and a photo of the truck in place.

On the farm side, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 66 farms in Pike County, with cattle, corn and goats at the top. A livestock hauler or grain truck from one of those farms can be collected at the farm itself, as long as the title is in hand.

• My coal truck is parked out at a mine site past Pikeville. Must I haul it off the mountain to Pikeville before you collect?Mines such as Newman Branch S1, 12.2 miles south-west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are places we collect from directly. Send us the mine’s address and the name of the foreman or owner who can open the gate for a Pikeville collection.
• Our Pike County coal company owns the tractor outright as a private-fleet unit. Which officer of the coal company signs the Kentucky title over?Private fleets make up 248 of Pikeville’s 356 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and for each of them the title is signed by a person authorised to act for the business. Have that person available, along with the registration.
• My truck sits near the Williamson yard on the West Virginia side. Does a West Virginia location rule out a Pikeville sale?Williamson’s rail yard, 20.5 miles north-east on the North American Rail Network, is within the area we cover from Pikeville. Tell us which state the title was issued in and where the truck is parked.
• My log truck is more than ten years old. How common is that in Pikeville?FMCSA roadside inspection records show 43.47 percent of 375 inspected Pikeville trucks were ten or more years old, with a median model year of 2018. For a Pike County log truck of any model year, the VIN, the title and photos of it where it is parked are what to send first.
