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

Half of the 110 active motor carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Alamogordo, 50 in all, name general freight among their cargo. If your tractor or box truck spent its working life on general freight runs out of town, tell us the body type and the axle count when you first get in touch.

Of those same carriers, 24 haul machinery and large objects, 22 carry logs, poles, beams or lumber, and 18 move motor vehicles, according to the FMCSA carrier census. A lowboy tractor, a log truck or a car hauler from Otero County is the kind of unit we collect, so send a photo of the trailer coupling and the deck along with the cab.

New registrations add to the list each year: the FMCSA census records 6 new Alamogordo carriers in 2025 and 4 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still titled under a loan, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the title can be released to us.

Filings with FMCSA put 77 Alamogordo carriers on intrastate operations against 31 that cross state lines, and 65 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never left New Mexico still needs its New Mexico title and current registration in the owner’s name before collection.

Drivers working for these carriers mostly stay near home: the FMCSA census counts 249 drivers operating within 100 miles and 112 beyond that radius. Since most of these trucks come back to a yard in or near Alamogordo each night, give us the yard’s street address and the hours someone can open the gate.

Among the 33 local carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 10,000 miles a truck. Write down the current odometer reading and the VIN from the door jamb before you call; those two numbers start every conversation we have about a truck.

One Alamogordo carrier on FMCSA’s census operates 74 power units with 49 drivers, and two others run 21 and 19 power units. If you are a fleet manager retiring several units at once, list each VIN with its unit number so we can collect them in a single visit to your yard.

FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 50 trucks from Alamogordo carriers, inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, give a median model year of 2013.5, with 62 percent of those trucks ten or more model years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the title, the registration and the most recent annual inspection report are the three papers to put in one folder.

Service records help us understand a truck before we see it. If you kept oil change slips or shop invoices from Alamogordo garages, photograph them and send them in with pictures of the engine bay, the tires and the odometer.

Holloman Air Force Base lies about 10.1 miles west of town, listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation. Trucks that service the base often park off-base between jobs, so tell us exactly where yours sits; we cannot arrange a pickup behind a gate that needs base access without your help.

About 11 miles south, the Energy Information Administration lists IMTT Alamogordo as a petroleum product terminal. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loaded there should come with its hazmat placard history and any tank test certificates you hold, kept in the cab for the driver who collects it.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation run by R D Blankenship Dirt Work 6.9 miles north of the city. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from pits like that one are trucks we buy; let us know if yours is still parked at the pit and who on site can show our driver to it.

The National Bridge Inventory lists 50 bridges in Alamogordo, none of them load-posted, and one under 14 feet: the 14th Street crossing over an unnamed waterway, at 10 feet 0 inches. If your truck is parked on a street that only reaches the highway under that bridge, mention it so the collecting rig can plan another route.

Out of 10,132 jobs counted in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 395 in construction and 139 in transportation and warehousing. For contractors in town, County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 71 construction establishments, and a dump truck, flatbed or water truck from one of them can be collected straight from the job yard.

Otero County has 467 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, then horses, then goats top its livestock tally. Ranch trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds that move feed are welcome, and the title is what matters most, so check that the name on it matches yours.

If a ranch truck has sat on a property outside Alamogordo, send directions to the gate and note whether the track in is gravel or paved. If the title has gone missing, the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division is the office that issues a replacement, and you can start that before we schedule the pickup.

• Our rig sits just outside the Holloman Air Force Base fence line west of Alamogordo; will your driver come out that far?Holloman sits about 10.1 miles west of Alamogordo on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing, and we collect off-base in that area. If the truck is inside a gated area, arrange access for our driver and tell us the gate.
• Lumber is what my Alamogordo outfit hauls, so is a log truck with bunks something you would collect?Twenty-two Alamogordo carriers on FMCSA’s census carry logs, poles, beams or lumber, and their trucks are among those we buy. Send photos of the bunks and the cab with the VIN.
• Which Alamogordo bridge clearance should my pickup address be checked against?The 14th Street bridge over an unnamed waterway has 10 feet 0 inches of clearance, per the National Bridge Inventory, and it is the one Alamogordo bridge under 14 feet. Tell us if the truck’s location means passing under it.
• The New Mexico title for my Otero County tractor has gone missing; which office replaces it?Replacement titles for trucks registered in Alamogordo come from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division. Apply there for a duplicate, and send us a copy once it arrives.
