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 Lake Orion

There are 30 trucking companies registered in Lake Orion, and 16 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 Lake Orion and pay at pickup.

16 owner-operators run out of Lake Orion 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.

16 companies in Lake Orion 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.

Detroit, MI - Moterm Intermodal Facility (MOT) sits 24 miles from Lake Orion, and the trucks that work it are day cabs and sleepers pulling containers on short turns. That work wears trucks out on the clutch and the frame, not the odometer. We buy them anyway. Clear title, and we'll pick it up at the yard.

Ray Road Plant is 4 miles from Lake Orion, pulling construction sand and gravel, and St Marys Cement-Detroit and Rockwood Plant aren't far behind. 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.

Lake Orion is corn country — 541 farms in Oakland 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.

34 construction outfits work out of Lake Orion, 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 Lake Orion?

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 Lake Orion, we pay at pickup, and we take the truck and the title the same day.

Oakland County

An assembly plant, and the ramps that empty it are filed elsewhere

Orion Assembly is a genuine vehicle assembly plant. Statewide, ten of Michigan’s sixteen automotive rows are assembly plants and the other six make components; this is one of the ten. Its employment and its output were not established, so neither is claimed here.

What an assembly plant puts on the road is car-haul work: finished vehicles leaving a ramp on multi-car road trailers behind a tractor. That is a specific trade with specific equipment, and one of the few cases where the truck is built around the freight rather than the other way round.

The rail rows that do that loading are attached to neighbouring places rather than to this one — a plant siding and a finished-vehicle ramp, 1.55 miles apart under the same carrier, filed under two different towns. Which is the usual story in Oakland County: the work is one operation and the paperwork is three.

Michigan weight law

A statute written for weight, on a trade limited by length

Those car-haul trailers sit oddly against Michigan’s weight statute, and it is useful to say why. The state 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 — reached by allowing more axles each carrying less rather than heavier axles.

A loaded car hauler almost never gets near a number like that. It runs out of length and height long before it runs out of weight, so the headroom the state is known for is not the constraint on this particular trade. Useful to know mainly so nobody assumes Michigan’s reputation applies to every truck in it.

The seasonal rule reaches everybody, though. Axle and wheel loads are reduced through March, April and May — 25 percent on concrete pavements and concrete-based roads and 35 percent on every other road type — and no overweight permits are issued while the restrictions are in force.

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. Car haulers and the tractors that pull them, off the Orion Assembly ramps. Day cabs and road tractors off the general freight. Dump trucks off the road work, flatbeds, box trucks, straight trucks and rollbacks out of the trades, and service bodies, work trucks and pickups off crews across Oakland County.

Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them — and a car-hauling rig is not a harder sale here than a pickup.

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. Auburn Hills, Pontiac and the rest of the county are all routine.

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. That covers the decks on a car hauler too: they are part of the truck, not clutter to strip off first.

Straight answers

The questions we get asked in Lake Orion

  • 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.
  • It is a car hauler with the decks still on it.Leave them on. Next to Orion Assembly a multi-car trailer is an entirely ordinary thing for us to buy, and the decks and ramps are part of the sale.
  • Which town is the ramp actually in?Not this one, as it happens — the two rows that do that loading are 1.55 miles apart and filed under neighbouring places. Oakland County either way, and it has never decided anything for us.
  • It has run loaded one way and empty back for years.Then the wear is uneven in a way the mileage will not show, which is normal on ramp work. Tell us the pattern rather than just the mileage.
  • 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 is usually the reason for the call. Retiring. A medical that went the wrong way. A contract that ended and never got replaced. A car-haul rig standing on an Oakland County lot near the Orion Assembly ramps, 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.
