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

Just 1.8 miles north of Westwood is the AK Steel rail yard, with the Ashland yard 1.9 miles east, both shown on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. If your tractor or straight truck shuttled between those two yards, tell us the street or lot where it is kept now.

A truck that served either yard may still be standing at a yard gate rather than in a driveway. If yours is, give us the name of whoever controls access and a phone number for them, and we will set the collection around their hours rather than yours.

Big Sandy - Asphalt, a petroleum product terminal, lies 5.1 miles south-east of town on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and the Viney Branch terminal sits 8.9 miles out in the same direction. Tankers and asphalt haulers that loaded there should come with the registration and any inspection sheets the terminals asked for at the rack.

At the same 8.9 miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a Marathon Petroleum liquid bulk terminal. If your tractor pulled a tank trailer to that site, say whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you, and send photos of each unit on its own so we know exactly what is being collected.

Mine Safety and Health Administration records show two coal preparation plants down the same south-east line: Branham & Baker Coal Terminal at 12.2 miles and Kentucky Coal Terminal at 12.5. Dump trucks and tractors that hauled to those plants can be sold from wherever they stand now, whether that is a plant lot or a yard back in Westwood.

To the south-west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the AA Limestone crushed-stone quarry 19.5 miles away. A stone hauler working there may spend the week on site, so before we arrange a pickup, check with the quarry whether an outside driver can come through its gate and where the truck can be reached.

Box trucks and flatbeds from small local operations fit that picture, and any of them can be sold with nothing more than the title, the registration and a clear set of photos.

Wholesale trade held 93 of those jobs, a 12 percent share, in the same LEHD count from the Census Bureau. Delivery and stocking trucks from wholesale work often carry lift gates or racking, so mention any added equipment and photograph it alongside the cab and the cargo box.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 187 farms in Boyd County, with cattle, honey and sheep at the top of the county’s output. Livestock trucks, grain bodies and farm flatbeds kept on those properties can be collected from the farm itself, so give us directions to the barn or shed rather than a mailing address.

A farm truck that sits in a field between seasons still needs a title in the seller’s name before collection. If that paper has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, so start that request before you contact us.

Every sale here starts with the VIN, the title and the current registration. Add service records if you kept them, plus photos of the frame, tires, cab interior and any body or trailer, and we can talk about the specific truck instead of trading general questions.

When the title holder lives away from Boyd County and the truck stays parked near the rail yards or terminals, name a local contact who can hand over keys. The paperwork can be signed from wherever the owner is now while the truck waits where it already stands.

• My truck is parked at the Ashland rail yard. Will you collect it at the yard?The Ashland yard is 1.9 miles east of Westwood on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from there. Give us the contact who controls the gate so the visit can be arranged with them.
• I hauled coal to Kentucky Coal Terminal. Does the truck need to come back to town first?Kentucky Coal Terminal sits 12.5 miles south-east of Westwood in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the truck can stay wherever it is parked out that way. Send the address and a photo of where it stands.
