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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists RIVER VIEW MINE, a coal mine, 14.6 miles north-east of Sturgis, and River View Facilities, a coal preparation plant, 14.9 miles to the north. A truck that has hauled between the mine and the prep plant may still be parked at a site gate rather than in town; tell us which yard it sits in and who can let us in when we come for it.

Further out on the same heading, the Henderson County Mine is a coal mine 17.8 miles north-east of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck worked that run, send photos of the cab, the frame and the plate along with the VIN, and keep the registration with the truck so the collection goes smoothly at whichever lot it is in.

Of the 50 active carriers based around Sturgis in FMCSA’s carrier census, 26 list grain, feed and hay as cargo, 19 list machinery and large objects, and 18 each list farm supplies and general freight. Hopper tractors, flatbeds that move equipment between fields and straight trucks that deliver seed or fertilizer are all trucks we buy here.

Union County had 290 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, soybeans and wheat top the list of what they grow. Around Sturgis, a grain truck is often kept on the farm between harvests, so give us the farm address, the gate or barn it sits behind, and a phone number for whoever will be there on pickup day.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 40 of the Sturgis-area carriers as private fleets, hauling their own goods, with 32 working only inside Kentucky and 18 crossing state lines. If your truck was registered to a farm or a business rather than a for-hire carrier, have that registration and the title in the same name ready, or tell us early whose name each one carries.

Drivers tied to these carriers mostly stay close: the carrier census puts 1,295 of them inside a hundred-mile radius and 53 beyond it. Across 17 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median truck ran 5,628 miles a year. Expect us to collect from a farm, an elevator or a yard close to town.

The biggest carrier on record in town runs 706 power units and 1,210 drivers under FMCSA’s carrier census; after it come fleets of 19 trucks with 18 drivers and 8 trucks with 4 drivers. Whether you are clearing one tractor or a row of them, list each VIN, and we will plan the pickups around where every truck is parked.

New registrations have been sparse here: FMCSA’s carrier census shows one new carrier in 2025 and none in 2024. A seller who is the original owner of a long-registered farm truck should still find the current title, since that is the document we sign over at collection.

Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 37 trucks belonging to carriers out of Sturgis, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year of that group at 2021. In that same set of FMCSA roadside inspection records, 16.22 percent were ten or more model years old.

Whatever the model year, the steps are the same: photos from all four sides, the VIN plate, the odometer, and any service records you kept. For a fleet truck, send the inspection reports from those stops too, since they record the unit number and the plate alongside the VIN.

Kentucky titles are issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and for Sturgis that is the Union County Clerk at 100 East Main Street, Morganfield, 42437, about 10.3 miles away. If the title is missing or still shows a lien that has been cleared, start there before we schedule anything, and bring your registration and identification.

Around town, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 231 jobs in 2023, and County Business Patterns lists 6 construction establishments in the county. A dump truck or flatbed from one of those contractors goes through the same Morganfield clerk if its title is in a company’s name, so have the company paperwork that shows who may sign.

• Can pickup happen at a coal site north-east of Sturgis where my tractor is parked?RIVER VIEW MINE is 14.6 miles north-east of Sturgis in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we come to where the truck is. Tell us the site, the gate and who has access.

• Is a hopper truck from a corn and soybean farm near Sturgis something you take?Grain, feed and hay is the most listed cargo among Sturgis-area carriers, at 26 of 50 in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those hoppers and straight trucks are trucks we buy. Send the farm address and photos.
• The registration on my rig names the family farm instead of me; does that change anything?Forty of the 50 Sturgis-area carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, so a farm-registered truck is common here. Have the title and registration in the farm’s name and paperwork showing who may sign for it.
