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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Klondike II, an industrial-mineral mine, 5.2 miles south-west of Salem, and two crushed-stone quarries, Cumberland River Quarry and Grason/Hazemag 1515, about 5.3 miles due south. If your dump truck or tri-axle has been loading at one of those pits, tell us which one and whether it is parked there or back at your place in Salem, so the pickup is planned for the right gate.

Further out, Dredge Pine Bluff, a sand and gravel operation, sits 20.4 miles south-west in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A truck that splits its days between dredged gravel and quarry stone can be collected from either end; send us photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together with the VIN.

Calvert City Terminal LLC, a coal preparation plant, is 17.7 miles south-west of Salem according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal, KUTTAWA KY ASPHALT, the same 17.7 miles away but to the south. Owners whose tractors pull end-dumps to the coal plant or liquid trailers out of Kuttawa can tell us the run in a sentence; it helps us ask only the questions that fit that truck.

A second fuel terminal the Energy Information Administration records under the name PADUCAH lies 22.9 miles south-west. If your tanker unit is based near Paducah rather than in Salem, give us that yard’s address and we will come to it.

Grain trucks and livestock haulers here may spend the off-season in a barn lot or field edge; tell us where it sits and whether a rollback can get to it after rain.

For a farm truck, have the title in hand, along with any registration card and service receipts you kept from harvest seasons.

Twelve of the Salem carriers on the federal motor carrier census haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, close behind the grain outfits. A log truck with a loader, or a flatbed set up for sawn lumber, is the kind of equipment we collect from a woodlot or a home yard alike.

When you contact us about a timber rig, photograph the bunks, the loader if it has one, and the tag on the frame, and send the VIN. Eleven carriers on that same census also list general freight, so a box truck or van trailer from a mixed operation is just as welcome.

Thirty-eight of the 40 carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census here run intrastate only, two cross state lines, and 28 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. Drivers mostly work close to home: the same census puts 47 within a hundred-mile radius and 16 beyond it.

The biggest operations based in town are small, with five, four and three power units on the federal register. Whether you are selling one truck or clearing a few from the shed, list each VIN and where each is parked, and we will arrange the collections together.

Contractors parking a dump truck or flatbed between jobs can sell it from wherever the last job left it.

If the title is missing or still shows an old lienholder, the clerk’s counter in Smithland is where to start the duplicate.

Bring the VIN, your driver’s license and any lien release to the clerk. Once the replacement title is in your name, send us a photo of it with the truck’s photos and we can schedule the collection.

Trucks that shuttle freight or aggregate to that yard can be picked up there or from your own lot.

Tell us the closest road access and any gate hours at the place the truck is parked, so the driver we send arrives when someone can hand over the keys.

• Will you buy a farm grain truck?Fifteen Salem carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census list grain, feed and hay, and grain trucks from Livingston County farms are among the trucks we buy. Send photos and the VIN with the title.
• Do I need to bring the truck anywhere?Salem drivers on FMCSA’s census mostly work within a hundred miles of home, and we come to the truck wherever it is parked, from a barn lot to the Princeton rail yard area. Just send the address.
