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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Boonesboro Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, just 1.3 miles north of Richmond. If your dump truck or tractor ran aggregate out of Boonesboro, tell us which body or trailer goes with it, and send photos of the bed and the hoist alongside the cab.

Lexington Quarry, another crushed-stone site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 19.9 miles north-west. A truck kept at a quarry lot can be sold where it stands; give us the gate contact and the site’s opening hours.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 520 active carriers based in Richmond, and 447 of them operate intrastate only, against 73 crossing state lines. If your registration is Kentucky-only, have that registration and the title together before you call, since those two documents are what the sale is built on.

Of those 520 carriers, the same FMCSA census marks 359 as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. Owners of a contractor’s flatbed or a farm tractor-trailer in that group can sell a single unit without closing the business; list the VIN and which company name sits on the title.

General freight is listed by 200 Richmond carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 110 haul machinery and large objects and 64 move motor vehicles. Lowboys, step-decks and car haulers all qualify, with or without the trailer; say which you are selling.

On the jobs side, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 2,031 of Richmond’s 22,733 jobs in manufacturing, which is 8.9 percent, and 339 in wholesale trade. If your box truck or day cab served plant docks or a distribution yard, send the odometer reading and a photo of the data plate on the door jamb.

Madison County had 110 construction establishments according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck, mixer or crane truck that worked for one of them can be sold from the job yard; tell us whether any equipment mounted on the chassis is staying with it.

In 2023, construction accounted for 650 Richmond jobs, or 2.9 percent of the total in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. For a company-titled truck, have someone authorised to sign for the business on hand, along with the registration card.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,164 farms in Madison County, with cattle, corn and deer at the top of its list. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked in a barn lot outside town is collected there; describe the farm lane so we can plan the approach for a tractor or flatbed.

Sixty Richmond carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census haul farm supplies. Farm-plated trucks are welcome, though the title remains the document that matters; if it has gone missing, ask Kentucky’s title agency for a replacement before you sell.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 339 Richmond-based trucks, with a median model year of 2018 and 39.5 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, read the year from the title and give it to us with the VIN.

Among 71 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 12,000 miles per truck a year, and the carrier census lists 1,192 drivers working within 100 miles against 566 beyond. A local-route truck often keeps its service records at one shop, so ask that shop for a printout to send with your photos.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Ravenna rail yard 19 miles east of Richmond and the Lexington (NS) yard 24.8 miles north-west. If your tractor shuttles loads to either yard and sits there between runs, we can collect it on site once you give us the lot’s address.

East of town by 4.9 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Blue Grass Army Depot as a military installation. Trucks parked near the depot rather than in town are no barrier to a sale; tell us the nearest road access and who holds the keys.

• My dump truck is parked at the Boonesboro Quarry. Does it need to come into Richmond?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Boonesboro Quarry 1.3 miles north of Richmond, and we collect the truck at the quarry itself. Give us the gate contact and the title holder’s name.
• I only run inside Kentucky. Does that change anything?Intrastate work is common here: FMCSA’s carrier census lists 447 of Richmond’s 520 active carriers as intrastate only. Have your Kentucky title and registration ready, and the sale proceeds the same way as any other.
• I move heavy equipment on a lowboy out of Richmond. Do you buy the tractor that pulls it?Heavy-haul tractors are ones we buy, and FMCSA’s carrier census lists 110 Richmond carriers hauling machinery and large objects. Say whether the lowboy is part of the sale, and photograph the tractor’s wet kit and fifth wheel with the VIN plate.
