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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Tyrone Mine & Mill, a crushed-stone quarry 6.8 miles west of Versailles, and Richmond Road Quarry 9.3 miles to the east. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled aggregate out of either pit can be collected at the quarry yard or at your shop in town; give us the gate contact and the hours the lot is open.

Stone haulers in Woodford County often split their week between those two pits. Before we come, photograph the bed or trailer, the cab and the plate, and keep the registration in the glovebox so the Versailles pickup does not wait on a missing card.

If the truck is parked on quarry property rather than your own ground, tell us whose permission covers the visit. Tyrone and Richmond Road sit on opposite sides of town, so naming the right one keeps the crew from driving to the wrong side of Versailles.

Eighty-three of the 214 active Versailles carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census write general freight on their cargo list; a box van, tractor or straight truck from any of them can be collected in Woodford County. Another 57 declare machinery and large objects in that FMCSA census, and lowboys, heavy-haul tractors and flatbeds from this town are trucks we buy alongside box vans and dry-van tractors.

Farm supplies appear on 39 Versailles carrier registrations and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 33, according to the same federal carrier census. If you run a log trailer or a farm-supply straight truck, send the VIN plate photo and the trailer’s own registration if it sells with the tractor.

Of those 214 outfits, FMCSA records 148 as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A business that owns a truck to move its own stock can sell it the same way a for-hire operator would: title in the company name, a signer with authority, and the keys.

Federal registrations show 177 Versailles carriers operating intrastate and 37 crossing state lines, per FMCSA. For an in-state truck the Kentucky title and current registration are the two papers that matter; an interstate unit should also have its apportioned cab card on hand.

On the FMCSA census, 428 drivers for carriers here work within 100 miles of base and 240 run beyond it. Thirty-two Versailles outfits report annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck logs 20,559 miles a year. Tell us where the truck is garaged between runs and we will meet it there.

New authorities keep appearing: FMCSA logged 8 new carriers in Versailles in 2024 and 9 in 2025. If you started a small hauling outfit in the last two years and are now selling its first truck, the title and your USDOT number are what we will ask to see.

Between 28 August 2024 and 27 August 2026, inspectors stopped 125 trucks belonging to Versailles carriers, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. In those same roadside inspection records the median model year was 2019, and 40 percent of the trucks were ten or more years old.

A 2019 tractor and a decade-old Woodford County dump truck are equally welcome here. Whatever the model year, send the odometer reading, the VIN and any inspection or service records you kept, since those are the first questions we ask about a truck from Woodford County.

East of town the Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals at Lexington, 10.1 miles out. Tank trucks and fuel tractors that load there can be collected wherever they are parked between runs, in Versailles or on the Lexington side.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Lexington (NS) and Lexington (RJCC) rail yards 11.6 miles east. The RJ Corman liquid bulk terminal sits 11.7 miles away on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If your truck shuttled between these yards, tell us which one it last worked from so the pickup address is right.

Northwest of Versailles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the NG Frankfort Boone NG Center at 13.7 miles. A truck kept near Frankfort does not have to come back into Woodford County first; give us the street address and a contact.

Woodford County had 688 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and equine, cattle and tobacco top the list. Horse-van tractors, livestock haulers and farm straight trucks from these operations are all trucks we purchase, collected from the barn lot where they sit.

Farm trucks are often titled to a person while the farm runs under another name. Check which name is on the Kentucky title before we arrive, and if the title has gone missing, tell us at the start so the replacement is under way before the pickup is booked.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 5,409 jobs in Versailles in 2023, with 1,253 in manufacturing, 23.2 percent of the total. On the same LEHD counts, wholesale trade held 364 jobs and transportation and warehousing 122. Box trucks and tractors serving plants and distributors in Versailles fit what we buy.

Construction accounted for 214 local jobs in the 2023 LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 49 construction establishments. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body can be picked up at the job yard; send photos of the equipment mounted on it along with the cab.

• Will you pick up a dump truck sitting in the Tyrone Mine & Mill yard?Tyrone Mine & Mill is 6.8 miles west of Versailles on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we come to the truck at the quarry. Name the person who unlocks the quarry gate and the days that yard is staffed.
• I haul horses and cattle in Woodford County. Is a horse van or cattle hauler something you take?Equine and cattle lead the 688 farms USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Woodford County, and the tractors and straight trucks that serve them are on our list. Send photos of the cab, the trailer and the VIN plate.
• My truck only runs in Kentucky. What papers do you need?Most Versailles carriers, 177 of 214 on FMCSA’s carrier census, operate intrastate. For a truck like that, the Kentucky title, the current registration and the keys are what we ask for at collection.
• The truck is at a fuel terminal in Lexington. Is the Lexington terminal lot a workable pickup spot for you?The Energy Information Administration places the Lexington petroleum product terminals 10.1 miles east of Versailles, and we collect the truck where it sits. Tell us the terminal and who can let us onto the lot.
