Nebraska runs more trucks for its size than its neighbors would guess, and most of them never leave. In the census FMCSA published in October 2026, a little over 29,000 carriers give a Nebraska address, seven in ten registered for in-state work only and a little over half private fleets. More than ten and a half thousand carry grain, feed and hay, seven and a half thousand carry machinery and large objects, close to four and a half thousand carry livestock, four thousand carry farm supplies, and two and a half thousand carry dry bulk. Corn leads 50 of the 93 counties in USDA's 2022 census and cattle the other 43, and there is nothing else on that list. So the Nebraska truck is the grain truck at the elevator, a cattle pot headed for a Sandhills sale barn or a feedyard at Lexington, the feed truck, the heavy-haul tractor moving a center pivot, a semi truck with a sleeper on I-80 between Omaha and Sidney, the day cab draying containers off the Omaha ramp at Bellevue, a dump truck loading at the Louisville quarry or a Platte River sand pit at Fremont, and the pickup every farm runs. We buy all of those. To sell my semi truck in Nebraska, send the year, make, model and VIN, photos from every side, a photo of the title and the town.
Ninety-five thousand pounds, with the permit that goes with it
Nebraska states no flat gross maximum. Section 60-6,294(3) reaches 95,000 pounds only through a table keyed to the distance between the extreme axles, and only for a group of seven consecutive axles spanning 60 feet; on the interstate the same subsection caps any group of two or more axles at the federal 80,000 pounds unless the Director-State Engineer authorizes more. The federal record at 23 CFR 658 appendix C carries Nebraska at 95,000 on the interstate too, for a truck tractor and two trailing units with gross set by bridge formula B, and a state weight permit is what unlocks anything above 80,000 there.
So the same top figure is reachable on both networks, and what changes is the paperwork and the configuration. One condition travels with it: a two-trailing-unit combination whose cargo units exceed 65 feet must run empty, so the length that reaches 95 feet and the weight that reaches 95,000 pounds are not available to the same trip. A seven-axle rig that ran the table, a tandem grain truck, a heavy-haul tractor on permits and a dually that never saw a scale are four trucks and one process with us.
Any county treasurer, and an age window on brands
A duplicate Nebraska title is applied for at any county treasurer's office, on the DMV's own form, and the DMV lists all 98 of them: Douglas County at 1819 Farnam in Omaha, Lancaster County at 625 North 46th Street in Lincoln, Hall County at 200 South Sycamore Street in Grand Island, Buffalo County at 1512 Central Avenue in Kearney, Dodge County at 435 North Park in Fremont, Adams County at 500 West 4th Street in Hastings, Lincoln County at 301 North Jeffers in North Platte, Platte County at 2610 14th Street in Columbus and Dawson County at 700 North Washington in Lexington among them. Put in for the duplicate and write to us the same day; a lien is cleared first, and the lender's figure is the slow part.
The branding rule worth knowing is the age window, because it decides whether a salvage brand can apply at all; a truck older than that window falls outside the definition, and retail value may be set by a market survey of comparable vehicles rather than only from a pricing guide. A brand on yours is one line in the first message. Around the state: fifteen racks from Omaha and Roca to North Platte, Norfolk and Sidney fill the tankers, cement comes out of Louisville, the Elk Creek mine sits in the southeast, 27 sand and gravel pits run the Platte and Elkhorn valleys, and 33 rail yards run from Gibson and South Omaha to Alliance, North Platte's Bailey yard, McCook and Falls City. Offutt, Camp Ashland and the Guard's Lincoln and Grand Island hangars keep fleets of their own. Sleeper or day cab, heavy-haul tractor, dump truck, roll-off, mixer, garbage truck, wrecker or rotator, log truck, tanker, boom or crane truck, box truck, straight truck, utility truck, pickup or dually: tell us which, the town, and whether to come for it, buy it from where it sits, or expect you to bring it in.
