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

Shiprock sits in San Juan County between a gravel pit to the east and a coal mine to the south-east, with sheep and cattle country all around it. The dump trucks, haul tractors and stock trailers that serve that ground are the trucks we buy from owners here.

Haul roads to a pit east of Shiprock and a coal mine south-east

East of Shiprock by 10.6 miles, Waterflow Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral operation. A tandem dump or end-dump tractor that hauled from that pit can be collected from the yard where it is parked now, so tell us the road it sits on and who holds the gate key.

Navajo Mine, a coal operation that MSHA places 20.3 miles south-east of town, is the second mine within reach of Shiprock. If your truck worked on mine property, say whether it still sits behind the mine’s own security, and name the person who controls access there so the pickup is booked with them.

For either site, gather the title, current registration and any service log the truck carried while it hauled. Add photos of the cab, the bed or fifth wheel and the VIN plate, and we can match the truck to its paperwork from the pictures.

Construction and extraction jobs in Shiprock

Shiprock had 1,459 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 183 of them, or 12.5 percent, were in construction. Water trucks, flatbeds and dump bodies that supported those crews are welcome here; give us the body type and its length when you first get in touch.

On those same LEHD counts, mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction accounted for 93 jobs, a 6.4 percent share. A service truck or tractor from that line of work should come with whatever site records you kept, since they tell us where it was based.

Just three construction establishments show up for the Shiprock area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck belonged to one of those firms and the title is in the company’s name, have a signed authorization from whoever can sign for the business.

Stock trucks from Shiprock-area sheep and cattle places

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,877 farms in San Juan County, with cattle, sheep and equine listed as the leading categories. Stock trucks, ranch flatbeds and tractors that pulled livestock or horse trailers off those places are part of what we purchase.

A truck that lives on a ranch is often parked well off pavement. Send a pin or written directions to where it stands, and mention whether a gate, cattle guard or soft track sits between the county road and the truck.

Eighteen spans, no posted limits around Shiprock

Of the 18 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around Shiprock, none carries a posted load limit and none has clearance under 14 feet. Nothing on that list stops a heavy collection rig reaching a truck parked in or near town.

Off the public roads, the last stretch to a truck here may be a private lane or a ranch track. Tell us its surface and width so the right equipment is sent the first time.

Advanced Clean Trucks and the Omnibus in New Mexico

The New Mexico Register lists the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks requirement for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles as in force. The Heavy-Duty Omnibus exhaust emission standards for heavy-duty engines are listed as in force in the same part of the state’s administrative code.

When you send photos of a truck registered in New Mexico, include the engine’s emissions label along with the VIN plate. Keep the title and registration with the truck until the day it is collected.
