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

There is a single rail-yard row attached to this city and it sits about 1.3 miles from the middle of it. That is the whole of the rail record here, and everything below is measured from that yard because it is the one point the data pins exactly. What moves through it could not be established from any source read for the research and nothing is claimed about it.

The aggregate runs north. A pit on the Bow and Hooksett town line is about 4.8 miles north-east with 2 people, another Hooksett pit about 5.8 miles north with 3, a plant about 6.8 miles north with 4, and the Plourde Sand pit about 8.2 miles north with 20 — much the largest workforce close in. South and east, Litchfield Sand & Gravel is about 6.6 miles with 10 and Brook Hollow about 9.1 miles south-east with 8. The New Boston Air Station is about 9.2 miles west.

Those numbers do not grow with distance, they multiply. Continental Paving is about 10.8 miles south with 4 people, the Hudson plant about 13.5 miles south with 14, three separate operations at Suncook about 14.1 miles north with 4, 3 and 2, and a Granite State Concrete pit and mill about 14.6 miles south-west with 5.

Thirteen aggregate operations inside 15 miles and only two of them employ more than ten — the Plourde Sand pit at 20 and the Hudson plant at 14. This is a place where one truck is frequently the whole business and the person selling it is the person who drove it.

Those short heavy runs meet an axle rule that works the opposite way round from the way people assume. This state sets per-axle limits by reference to the vehicle’s own gross weight, and the limits get TIGHTER as the truck gets heavier in the band that matters: at a gross weight over 73,280 lb, the limit is 20,000 lb per axle where the axles are more than eight feet apart and 17,000 lb where they are not.

Spacing, in other words, is doing as much work as the axle count — and the switch runs the other way as well. At or below 73,280 lb gross the allowance rises to 22,400 lb per axle on a three-axle single unit, and 18,000 lb where the axles sit less than ten feet apart. The lighter truck gets the more generous per-axle figure, which is the way round that is easiest to get backwards when a load is being planned.

The gross figure is where this state departs from the pattern most operators carry in their heads. The ordinary ceiling is 80,000 lb for a truck-tractor and semi-trailer combination under RSA 266:18, II(h). But RSA 266:18, III allows up to 99,000 lb on interstate routes 89, 93 and 95, for vehicles certified under RSA 266:18-d that have paid the required fee, and for as long as the exemptions in 23 U.S.C. § 127 permit it. The higher number here is on the interstate rather than off it, so a heavy run routed onto the state network to find capacity is routed the wrong way.

Beyond the weight rules that is the whole of it in one sentence, and everything after it is a fix rather than a category. A counter replacement if the title is lost, a bonded route if the truck is old enough that it never had one. Neither stops a sale, and neither changes with the drive — the file is the same at the Plourde Sand pit 8 miles north and at Suncook 14 miles out.

One thing here is physical rather than clerical. A salvage certificate of title carries a legend saying the vehicle was declared a total loss — and the VEHICLE must additionally display a decal on the rear of the left front door post, whose own text says that removing it is a misdemeanour. Here the truck itself is marked, so check the door post as well as the document.

The river and the pits run different iron, and whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change — we buy all of them. Dump trucks and aggregate haulers off the Hooksett and Litchfield operations. Day cabs and road tractors on the yard work and the runs south. Log trucks and timber rigs off the country west, flatbeds, box trucks, service bodies and the pickups that follow the rest of it around.

Most of it works inside about 15 miles — the yard, the Plourde Sand pit 8 miles north with 20 people, Brook Hollow to the south-east, and the Suncook operations at 14.

• Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete, though — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is fine. A missing driveline is not.
• Do you actually come to Hillsborough County?Yes. We come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us. Nothing here is far — thirteen aggregate operations sit inside 15 miles of the yard.
• What if I can’t find the title?We need a title — unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it’s lost, there’s a counter replacement. If there was never one to lose, there’s a bonded route. Neither stops a sale.
• There’s still money owed on it. Now what?That’s a payoff and a lien release, and it’s the slow part rather than the hard part. Tell us up front and we’ll work it into the paperwork.
• How do you pay?Cash or electronic payment, whichever you would rather have.
• It’s one truck off a two-man outfit. Too small?No. Of the thirteen aggregate operations within 15 miles of here, eleven employ ten people or fewer and several are down at two or three. One truck from a small operator is the normal call around here.

Beyond the trucks themselves, the reasons repeat. A DOT physical didn’t go the way it used to. A paving contract that filled the season for nine years went to somebody else. The truck is just sitting beside a shed, and every month it sits is another month of insurance on something that isn’t turning a wheel.

The lots up the river past the Plourde Sand pit 8 miles north, and around Litchfield Sand & Gravel 7 miles south, hold a fair number of trucks in exactly that position.

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.
