Why sell to Big Ugly Truck?

Because you want the truck gone — not another listing, another no-show, or another "maybe."

We’re a direct buyer, not a broker. You deal with us. We buy semi trucks (our specialty) plus box, dump, utility, vocational, dually, and pickup — as long as it’s complete. Clear title required. All 50 states. We come to you.

The pitch in three beats:

1. Straight deal — no auction fees, no middleman cut, no endless tire-kickers.

2. Honest process — photos to start, offer you can take or leave, pay at pickup.

3. We handle the hard part — pickup and title work so you’re not chasing buyers across town.

Ugly ones welcome. Pretty ones too. If the title’s in hand, we’re ready to talk.

We buy trucks in Ferrysburg

There are 79 trucking companies registered in Ferrysburg, and 38 of them are one-truck owner-operators. That's a lot of trucks working the same roads, and every one of them gets to the point where it's worth more sold than fixed. If that's where you are, you don't need a listing or an auction lot. Send us the photos, take the offer or leave it, and we come to Ferrysburg and pay at pickup.

38 owner-operators run out of Ferrysburg with one truck to their name. When that truck is done — the engine's tired, the emissions system is eating the profit, or you're just done driving — it's still worth money. We buy it direct, no broker, no consignment.

54 companies in Ferrysburg run their own trucks instead of hiring it out. When a unit comes off the rotation, most of them trade it in and take whatever the dealer says. We'll make an offer on the whole truck instead, and we'll buy the whole batch if you're turning over the fleet.

Grand Haven Marina, MI is 1 mile from Ferrysburg, and the trucks that pull out of it are day cabs and sleepers hooked to tank trailers. When the tractor's done pulling liquid, it's still worth money to us. Clear title, and we'll pick it up at the yard.

S & M Gravel Pit is 9 miles from Ferrysburg, pulling construction sand and gravel. That's dump trucks, mixers, end dumps and water trucks, and they get used hard. We buy them with the miles on them and the bed rusted through. Clear title, and we'll take it off the site.

Ferrysburg is milk country — 1,040 farms in Ottawa County, and every one of them moves product on trucks. Grain haulers, hopper trucks, cattle haulers, flatbeds for hay. If yours has seen its last harvest, send us a few photos.

43 construction outfits work out of Ferrysburg, and construction trucks live hard lives. Dump trucks, mixers, service bodies, lowboys, water trucks — we buy them with the dents and the hydraulic leaks. You'd have to fix them to sell them anywhere else; you don't have to fix them to sell to us.

How fast do you pay?

At pickup. Cash or electronic, your choice.

Do you come to Ferrysburg?

Yes. We come to you anywhere in Michigan.

What if the truck doesn't start?

Send photos and tell us what it does. We buy trucks that are worth repairing.

What if there's a lien?

Tell us who holds it. We pay the lienholder and you get the difference at the same time.

What if I lost the title?

Get a duplicate from Michigan first. We'll wait; we can't close without it.

Do you buy more than one?

Yes. Fleets, pairs, a truck and a trailer together.

Fill out the form or call. We come to Ferrysburg, we pay at pickup, and we take the truck and the title the same day.

Ottawa County

A row whose name and operator both point across the river

One point sits in the record here, a petroleum port 0.68 miles out, and it is a curious one. Its name says Grand Haven Marina and its operator field says the City of Grand Haven — and it is assigned to this town, which is the city on the other side of the Grand River.

Two independent fields both pointing at the neighbour is a shape the research had not recorded before. Elsewhere it is usually just the name that is wrong while the operator or the coordinate settles it; here both of the human-written fields agree with each other and disagree with the assignment. Nothing was degraded by it, because both cities hold pages of their own.

What the port handles could not be determined from anything we read, so no claim is made about that. The practical version is the one that matters anyway: this is one waterfront with a river through the middle of it, and which side a truck is parked on has never mattered to us.

Michigan weight law

A statute that counts axles, not trucks

Whatever moves off that waterfront moves under a state weight statute that is not the one the rest of the country uses. Michigan permits a maximum gross of 164,000 lb on a combination of up to eleven axles — the highest regularly usable truck weight in North America, with eleven the ceiling since 1967.

It reaches that the opposite way round from how people assume. Michigan’s axle limits are lower than the federal ones: 18,000 lb on a single axle against 20,000, and 32,000 lb on a tandem against 34,000. More axles, each carrying less, because pavement damage climbs with axle load rather than with gross weight. A loaded tank truck is dense enough to reach those limits well before the tank is full.

So an eleven-axle Michigan combination is a physically different vehicle rather than a heavier one, and that follows the truck when it is sold. The same statute then reduces axle and wheel loads through March, April and May — 25 percent on concrete pavements and concrete-based roads, 35 percent on everything else.

On paper the rule is one sentence. We need a title — unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. Everything after that is a fix rather than a category: a lost title has a counter replacement, and where none exists there is a bonded route. Neither one stops a sale.

Gross and axle limits at MCL 257.722, read from the Michigan Vehicle Code and the Michigan Department of Transportation’s Maximum Legal Truck Loadings and Dimensions. Information, not legal advice.

What we buy here

Those rules cover trucks we are glad to buy. Tank trucks off the waterfront work. Day cabs and road tractors. Dump trucks off the road jobs and the gravel, flatbeds, box trucks, straight trucks and rollbacks out of the trades, and service bodies, work trucks and pickups off crews across Ottawa County.

Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them.

We can come to you and drive it away, come to you and tow it, or buy it remotely and arrange the tow with nobody visiting at all. You are welcome to bring it to us too. Either side of the Grand River is the same answer.

We buy complete trucks. If the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Small things — a missing bumper — are fine. A truck that has stood through a few lakeshore winters is a normal starting point.

Straight answers

The questions we get asked in Ferrysburg

  • Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
  • Am I in Ferrysburg or Grand Haven?The one row on this page cannot agree with itself about that — its name and its operator both say the city across the river while it is assigned here, 0.68 miles out. It makes no difference to us at all.
  • It is a tank truck and I am told that is awkward.It is not awkward for us. Tell us what it last carried and whether it has been cleaned, because that changes the handling rather than the answer.
  • It has sat outside through the winters.Expected this close to the lake, and not a disqualifier. Tell us how long it has stood and whether anything has come off it. Salt and cold find brake lines and air systems first.
  • How am I paid?Cash or electronic payment. That is the whole list.
  • What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. A lost title has a counter replacement; where none exists there is a bonded route.

Why people call

None of those questions is usually the reason for the call. Retiring. A medical that went the wrong way. A season that ended and never started again. A tank truck standing on an Ottawa County lot within sight of the water 0.68 miles from the middle of town, that has not moved since the work stopped and is still costing insurance every month.

Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone by the end of the week. That’s what we’re here for.
