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

General freight is the cargo for 57 of the 105 active Johnson City carriers counted in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your box truck or tractor has spent its life on general freight runs around Broome County, a VIN, the registration and a set of photos covering the cab, the frame and the tires are what we ask for first.

Machinery and large objects account for 19 of those carriers on the FMCSA census, with logs, poles, beams and lumber at 15 and farm supplies at 11. A flatbed, a lowboy tractor or a log truck from one of those outfits is a vehicle we buy, so tell us what it pulled and send a photo of the trailer coupling along with the rest.

Of the 105 carriers, the same FMCSA census counts 78 as intrastate only and 27 as interstate, while 70 are private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck that stayed inside New York usually sits at the owner’s shop or yard, and that is where we collect it.

At the top end, Johnson City’s three leading outfits field 31, 29 and 26 power units and 37, 26 and 22 drivers, by FMCSA’s registration figures. An owner selling several units from a fleet of that size can list every VIN in one message, and we work through them as a group rather than one at a time.

New carrier registrations in Johnson City came to 11 in 2025 against 2 in 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you set up your authority recently and the truck is leaving the operation, have the title and the current registration in the same name before we arrange collection.

Drivers based with Johnson City carriers split 185 operating within 100 miles and 157 beyond it, per FMCSA. For a truck that is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked when it gets back, and we plan pickup there.

Johnson City-based trucks stopped 52 times from September 2024 to August 2026 show a median model year of 2020 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, with 13.5 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the model year of yours, have the inspection reports from the cab ready to send; they fill in the truck’s history alongside the photos.

Among 24 carriers that report mileage, the median is 8,693 miles per truck on FMCSA’s census. Read the odometer before you call and include it with the VIN, since both go on the bill of sale.

Toward Vestal, two petroleum product terminals sit 2.3 and 2.8 miles south-west of Johnson City on Energy Information Administration listings. A fuel tanker or tank-trailer tractor that loads there can be collected from the yard it returns to; give us the address and a contact who can open the gate.

East of town, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the Binghamton yard at 3.4 miles and the Bevier Street yard at 3.7. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal 3.6 miles east. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from those sidings sit close enough to town that you do not need to move them anywhere for us.

Roberts’ Stone LLC, a dimension-stone quarry, lies 10 miles south-east of Johnson City on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. The same MSHA records place Trim Street Quarry, crushed stone, 11 miles east, and the Conklin crushed-stone quarry 12.2 miles south-east.

If your dump truck or stone hauler is parked at one of those quarries, we come to it there. Tell us whose property it is on and whether a tow vehicle can reach it, and send photos of the body and the hoist along with the cab.
