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

The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, both listed under the name Inwood, 0.6 and 0.7 miles north-east of town. A tank truck or fuel delivery straight truck that loads there is often parked within walking distance of where its owner lives, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Farther out, Bayside Fuel Oil Depot Corporation and The Energy Conservation Group appear as liquid bulk terminals 11.2 and 11.9 miles north-west of Inwood in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your tanker has shuttled heating oil between those depots and the Inwood racks, note which product it carried and keep its tank test certificates with the title.

Of the 303 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Inwood, 103 list garbage, refuse and trash as cargo, while 121 list general freight. Rear loaders, roll-off hoists and packer bodies all belong on the list of what we collect, so tell us the body maker and the chassis together when you write in.

Utility work shows up as well: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 23 Inwood carriers hauling utility cargo and 15 moving machinery and large objects. For a bucket truck, a digger derrick or a lowboy tractor, send photos of the upfit and its plate, along with the VIN from the door jamb, so the equipment and the chassis are identified on the first call.

Most Inwood operators stay inside New York: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 282 intrastate carriers against 19 running interstate, and 244 of the town’s carriers are private fleets moving their own goods. A truck owned by a contractor or a supplier rather than a for-hire carrier sells the same way; the title holder signs, and if a business owns it, bring the authority to sign for that business.

Driver records filed with FMCSA list 677 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 97 going beyond that radius. Among the 68 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covers 8,000 miles a year, so expect us to ask for the odometer reading and the hour meter on any truck with a PTO.

Fleet sizes vary widely here, according to FMCSA’s carrier census: one Inwood operator registers 293 power units and 206 drivers, while the next two run 16 and 10 trucks. A fleet manager selling several units at once can send one list of VINs, plate numbers and parking addresses, and we work through the batch from it.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026 cover 158 Inwood-based trucks, with a median model year between 2010 and 2011. About 68 percent of those inspected trucks were ten or more model years old, per the same FMCSA inspection records.

Whatever the model year, the paperwork is what makes a sale move: the New York title, the current registration, and any recent inspection sticker or service invoices you have kept. A copy of the last roadside inspection report, if you still hold one, helps us match the truck to its record.

Inwood owners with a lost title go to Queens South TVB, which the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles places at 168-35 Rockaway Boulevard in Jamaica, a 2.7-mile trip up the boulevard from town. If the title is missing, ask the Department of Motor Vehicles about a duplicate before we schedule the pickup, and keep the receipt in case the replacement arrives after we agree on the truck.

If a lender still shows on the title, request the lien release letter from that lender and keep it with the title. A truck registered to a company needs the company’s name on the sale paperwork exactly as the New York DMV has it on file.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lists Jamaica Yard 6 miles north-west of Inwood, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Red Hook Container Terminal intermodal ramp 13.8 miles west. A day cab that drays containers from Red Hook may be parked in Brooklyn rather than Nassau County, and we collect it wherever it sits.

Of the 5,683 jobs located in Inwood in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 709 in transportation and warehousing, 421 in wholesale trade, 392 in construction and 387 in manufacturing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 51 construction establishments and 5 warehousing establishments in the area, so dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from those trades all fit what we buy.

• My oil delivery truck fills at the Inwood terminals and parks beside them. Will your driver meet the truck at that terminal fence?The Energy Information Administration lists the two Inwood petroleum product terminals under a mile north-east of town, and we arrange the collection at whichever yard the truck is parked in. Name the terminal or yard contact who can let our driver in beside the tank truck.
• I run a garbage truck on a town route. Will you look at a packer body?Refuse is common work in Inwood, where FMCSA’s carrier census shows 103 of 303 active carriers hauling garbage, refuse and trash. Pair the chassis VIN with the body maker’s name and a few photos of the packer blade and hopper.
• Where do I go if the title for my truck is lost?The Queens South TVB at 168-35 Rockaway Boulevard in Jamaica, 2.7 miles away according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, handles duplicate titles. Start that request before the sale so the paperwork is ready at pickup.
• Does the Inwood fleet’s 2010-era diesel fall foul of New York’s clean truck rules when I sell?For a Nassau County seller, the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation shows Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus each with enforcement on pause right now. Send us the engine model year with the VIN and we will go over what each rule says about it.
