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

Antire Quarry (CS-72), a crushed-stone operation 8.9 miles south-west of Des Peres, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at a quarry face like Antire’s are trucks we buy, so if yours runs aggregate out of that pit, tell us the body type and the axle count when you first get in touch.

Nine point two miles south of town, the Hageman Plant is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a sand and gravel operation. A truck that hauls gravel off Hageman’s piles may be parked at the plant, at a contractor yard or at home in Des Peres on the day we collect; give us whichever address is true and someone who can let us in.

Quikrete Companys Inc. runs a mineral processing plant 3.8 miles south-west, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. Flatbeds and box trucks that move bagged product from a plant of that kind are on our list too; photos of the deck, the cab and the VIN plate let us see the truck before we set a pickup.

Day cabs that shuttle between those two yards can stay where they are parked; send the yard name and gate contact with your request.

St. Louis, MO - Lindenwood, a rail intermodal ramp 7.1 miles east, is on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ facility list. If your tractor has been pulling container chassis off Lindenwood, start with the VIN and the odometer reading, and we will ask the rest from there.

Freight that moves by rail around west county still needs a tractor at each end of the trip. Whether yours is a sleeper or a single-axle day cab, keep the registration card in the cab or a photo of it on your phone so the paperwork matches the truck at collection.

Burlington Junction, a liquid bulk terminal 3.6 miles south of Des Peres, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tankers and the tractors that pull them out of a terminal like that are part of what we purchase; tell us what the tank carried and keep any terminal inspection sheets with the title.

Just 2.9 miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the St. Louis County, MO port. A tractor that has worked the docks there can be collected at the lot it sits on, so tell us whose lot it is and how a truck gets in and out of it.

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 10 bridges in Des Peres, and one of them carries a posted load limit. None of the 10 has under 14 feet of clearance in the National Bridge Inventory, so height is not something you need to plan around for a pickup in town.

Mention that one posted bridge when you describe the route to your truck. Tell us the street it is parked on and the nearest cross street, and the driver can pick an approach that keeps a loaded carrier off a weight-limited span.

Of 15,402 jobs located in Des Peres in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 169 in transportation and warehousing and 163 in wholesale trade, each about 1.1 percent. Box trucks and straight trucks from delivery and distribution work in a place like this are welcome, and a service log from the shop that maintained one is useful to have on hand.

Construction accounted for 82 of those jobs, or 0.5 percent, on the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed parked at a job site can be collected there; just tell us the site address and when the gate is open.

St. Louis County had 222 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and wheat at the top of its crop list. A grain truck kept on one of those farms is one we will come out for, so send the farm’s address and a photo of the box along with the title.

Missouri Department of Revenue records list a Des Peres license office at 1080 Old Des Peres Rd, half a mile from the middle of town. If the title for your truck has gone missing, that office is where a Missouri owner applies for a replacement.

Bring the VIN, your registration and photo ID when you go to Old Des Peres Rd. Once the duplicate is in your hands, a photo of its front and back is enough for us to line up the paperwork on our side.
