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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Laurel Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, just 0.4 miles north of Somerset. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs aggregate out of a pit that close to town can usually stay parked at the quarry yard for collection; send us the gate details and the name of whoever holds the key.

Somerset Stone Company, a second crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, works 2.6 miles to the north-east. If your truck hauled from either site, photograph the bed, the hoist and the VIN plate, and leave the registration in the cab for the pickup crew to check against the plate.

Two miles south, a transload rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that shuttle loads between railcars and customers in Pulaski County tend to sit at the yard between moves, and that is a fine place for us to meet the truck.

Close by, at 2.1 miles south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a Norfolk Southern liquid bulk terminal. A tractor that has pulled tank trailers in and out of that terminal is one we buy; list the trailer types it pulled and have the title in the owner’s name before we book the visit.

Burnside Terminal, another rail yard on the North American Rail Network, lies 6.7 miles south toward the lake. A truck kept down there does not need to be driven up to Somerset first; give us the yard address and a phone number for whoever is on site.

Of the 512 Somerset carriers active in FMCSA’s census, private fleets moving their owners’ own stone, lumber or stock account for 366. If your truck belongs to a business that owns it outright, the person who signs for the business should be the one who signs the title over to us.

Of those 512, the federal census lists 433 as intrastate and only 79 as interstate, and drivers within a 100-mile radius number 829 against 587 who range farther. For a local hauler like that, a driveway, shop lot or farm gate in Kentucky is the likely collection point.

General freight is the commonest cargo line in the FMCSA census here at 156 carriers, followed by machinery and large objects at 102, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 85, and farm supplies at 69. Tell us which of those your truck carried and what body or trailer goes with it, since a log loader or lowboy changes what we bring to the pickup.

One Somerset carrier registered with FMCSA operates 162 power units with 137 drivers; two more run 60 units with 28 drivers and 56 units with 69 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or retiring a row of them, send the VIN list in a single message and we will work through every unit together.

New entrants are few: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 11 Somerset carriers registered in 2024 and 8 in 2025. If you started up recently and are now selling, have your USDOT number and the truck’s registration handy alongside the title.

Somerset-based trucks stopped for FMCSA roadside inspection from August 2024 to August 2026 numbered 365; their median model year was 2020, and 29 percent were built ten or more years before. Older and newer units both qualify; send the model year and the odometer reading with your first message.

Among the 75 carriers that reported annual miles to FMCSA, the median truck logged 12,000 miles a year. If you keep a maintenance log or service invoices, scan them along with the photos so the history travels with the truck.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 18,418 jobs in Somerset in 2023, and manufacturing holds 2,782 of them, or 15.1 percent. Box trucks and tractors tied to plant shipping often sit in a dock lot after the last load; tell us the plant gate procedure so the collection is cleared in advance.

Construction accounts for 379 jobs in that same LEHD release, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 80 construction establishments locally. A dump body, flatbed or equipment hauler from a building contractor can be picked up straight from the job site or the contractor’s yard.

Pulaski County held 1,600 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, soybeans and corn leading. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept in a barn lot is easy for us to reach; tell us whether the road in is gravel and whether a trailer stays with the truck.

• Our aggregate truck sits in the Laurel Quarry lot north of town; can it be collected from there?Laurel Quarry sits 0.4 miles north of Somerset on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, so we collect it right there. Arrange gate access with the quarry office and send us the contact name.
• I haul timber and poles around Somerset with a knuckleboom rig; is that something you purchase?Logs, poles, beams and lumber are carried by 85 Somerset carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and log trucks are on our list. Send photos of the bunks, the loader if fitted, and the VIN plate.
• I am a private fleet hauling my own company’s goods. Can I sell to you?Private fleets make up 366 of the 512 Somerset carriers in FMCSA’s census, and we buy from them as readily as from for-hire carriers. Have the company officer who can sign the title ready when we arrange collection.
• Can you reach a tractor parked down at the Burnside Terminal rail yard?Burnside Terminal is 6.7 miles south of Somerset on the North American Rail Network, well within reach for collection. Give us the yard address and a contact who can let the crew in.
