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

The Energy Information Administration places the Kramers Lane petroleum product terminal 1.9 miles west of Shively and the Louisville petroleum product terminal 2 miles to the north-west. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers between those two racks can be listed with us as it sits, hitched or bobtail. Tell us which rack it loaded at and whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind.

Martts Inc, a liquid bulk terminal, is 1.1 miles north of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the same agency puts the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal 4.9 miles north. If the truck is still parked inside one of those terminal fences, give us the gate contact and any site badge rules before the pickup is booked, so the driver is not turned away at the guard shack.

Tank work usually leaves a paper trail of its own. Keep the title, the current registration and any tank or hazmat inspection sheets together in the cab, and photograph the plates on the tank as well as the tractor’s VIN plate.

Two rail yards sit just north of Shively on the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain: Goodrich at 2.2 miles and Magnolia at 2.8 miles to the north-east. Yard tractors and drayage day cabs that have worked those tracks are welcome; send a photo of the fifth wheel and the cab interior along with the outside shots.

South-east of town, 5.7 miles out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Louisville rail intermodal ramp. A container chassis puller based there can be collected from the drop lot rather than driven home first. Give us the lot address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

For a drayage tractor, the two things we ask for first are the VIN and the odometer reading. Have both written down before you call, and the rest of the conversation goes straight to the specifics of your rig.

Of the 5,189 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts placed in Shively for 2023, plants and factories held 1,450, a 27.9 percent manufacturing share. Box trucks and tractors that run parts and finished goods out of those plants can be sold straight from the loading dock; tell us the plant’s address and when the dock is open.

Wholesale trade holds 342 jobs here and transportation and warehousing 227, per the same LEHD figures. Delivery trucks, reefers and local tractors working out of those warehouses fall within what we purchase, whether the unit sits at the warehouse or in your driveway.

Construction employs 215 people in Shively, a 4.1 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from building crews can be picked up at a job yard. Bring the title and registration, plus any service records the crew kept, to the handover.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 264 farms in Jefferson County, with equine, cattle and soybeans leading the list. A livestock hauler, horse-trailer tow rig or grain truck kept on one of those farms can be collected from the barn lot.

Farm trucks often carry farm plates rather than standard commercial registration. Tell us which plate is on the truck and confirm the title is in the farm owner’s name, so the paperwork lines up on the day of collection.

Louisville IAP-Standiford Field Site 1, a military installation, lies 5.1 miles east of Shively according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked on or near a controlled site, say so up front and tell us who can escort a driver through the gate.

Wherever it is parked between the base and the Kramers Lane racks, we come to the truck. Send the address, a few clear photos and the title details, and we plan the pickup around where it stands.
