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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cayuga Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, 6.4 miles north of Ithaca. A tractor or dump unit that has hauled from that site may still be parked near it, and we can collect it there; send us the address and the name of whoever controls access to the lot.

Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records close by: University Gravel Products, 6.9 miles south-east, and Dryden Pit, 10.3 miles east. Tandem dumps and tri-axles that have worked those pits are trucks we buy, and photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, taken where the truck stands, let us see it the same way you do.

If the truck spent its seasons on aggregate work out toward Dryden, keep its registration and any annual inspection stickers or service invoices together in one folder before you contact us, so the paperwork travels with the truck when it leaves.

Harford Mills LPG Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, is 15.4 miles east of Ithaca according to the Energy Information Administration. Bobtails and propane delivery trucks based out that way can stay where they are parked; tell us the yard, and whether the tank has been emptied for the pickup.

To the west, the Energy Information Administration places Watkins Glen Terminal 23.2 miles away. A tanker tractor that has run between there and Tompkins County is welcome, and its DOT inspection reports and hazmat registration, if you still hold them, belong with the title when we come for it.

Ithaca has 272 active trucking outfits on FMCSA’s carrier census, and box vans and dry-van tractors hauling general freight account for 130 of them. The same federal census shows 56 carrying garbage, refuse and trash, 53 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 50 moving machinery and large objects, so roll-offs, log trucks and lowboy tractors are all part of what Ithaca owners have to sell.

Most of those outfits stay inside New York: the same FMCSA census records 235 intrastate carriers against 37 interstate ones, and 220 of the 272 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck sold out of a business yard needs the company title signed by someone authorised to sign for it, so sort that out first.

Among 58 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 7,750 miles per truck a year. The three biggest operations based here run 54, 28 and 25 power units respectively, per that federal census, and we take a single truck or several from one owner.

Drivers working for carriers in Ithaca are mostly local: FMCSA’s figures put 743 inside a 100-mile radius and 302 beyond it. A truck that works within that circle is usually back in a yard in Tompkins County at night, which is where we would arrange to meet it.

Ithaca added 9 new carriers in 2025 and 7 the year before, by FMCSA’s registration records. If you started an operation recently and are now selling its truck, have the title and the current New York registration in the business name ready, along with your USDOT number.

Of 13,378 jobs located in Ithaca in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 440 in manufacturing, 223 in construction, 216 in transportation and warehousing and 114 in wholesale trade. Box trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks from those trades are all things we purchase, and each one needs its VIN and a clear set of photos to start.

Across Tompkins County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 487 farms, with milk, corn and cattle as the top products. Milk haulers, grain trucks and livestock rigs from those farms can be collected from the farm lane itself; give us directions to the barn and tell us if the driveway is gated.

The National Bridge Inventory lists 27 bridges in Ithaca, and none of them carries a posted load limit or sits under 14 feet of clearance. A tow rig or a lowboy can reach most addresses in town without a detour, so a truck parked on a city street or a side lot is not hard for us to get to.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office for Ithaca is at 301 3rd St, 0.2 miles from the centre of town. If the title is lost, that office is where a duplicate is requested, and the title holder named on the record is the person who has to apply.

Once the duplicate title arrives from New York’s DMV, send us a photo of the front and back along with the registration, and we schedule the pickup from there.

• Our tri-axle sits at Dryden Pit east of town; does it have to be driven over to Ithaca first?Dryden Pit sits 10.3 miles east of Ithaca according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect trucks from pits like that one directly. Tell us who manages the gate and when the site is open.
• The title to my Tompkins County tractor has gone missing; which office reissues it?The Ithaca office of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, at 301 3rd St, handles duplicate titles, and it is 0.2 miles from downtown. The owner named on the title has to make the request.
• Do you buy refuse and log trucks here?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 56 Ithaca carriers hauling garbage and refuse and 53 hauling logs and lumber, and trucks from both trades are ones we buy. Send the VIN, the registration and photos of the body and the cab.
• We milk cows outside Ithaca and want to sell the farm’s bulk milk truck; will you pick it up from the barn?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 487 farms in Tompkins County with milk as the leading product, and we come out to the farm for the truck. Give us the road, the barn and a phone number for whoever will be there.
