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

Of the 102 active carriers headquartered in this Wayne County seat, 76 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck belongs to a farm or a business that hauls its own loads, tell us what it carried and who it worked for; that is the history we ask about first.

Farm supplies top the cargo list, with 41 Lyons carriers registered to haul them under the same federal census, followed by general freight at 39, grain, feed and hay at 35, and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 27. A tractor with a grain trailer, a log truck or a flatbed that has carried lumber all fit what we buy here, so send photos of the truck with the body or trailer it works with.

FMCSA’s carrier census registers 13 of the Lyons carriers for interstate work and 89 for intrastate work. For a truck that has stayed inside New York, the New York registration and title are the two papers to find before you call.

Among the 25 Lyons carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median works out to 10,000 miles a truck. Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you contact us; those two figures let us start on your truck straight away.

Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 191 in the federal census, against 69 who go further. A truck that spends its days on Wayne County roads is usually parked at a farm, a yard or the owner’s home, and we collect it from wherever it stands.

Lyons operations stay modest in size: FMCSA’s census shows the biggest Lyons operation with 9 power units and 2 drivers, the next with 7 units and 3 drivers, and a third with 5 units and 4 drivers, while new registrations held at 3 in 2024 and 3 in 2025. An owner selling one truck out of a handful should list each unit’s VIN separately so every truck is handled on its own.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Palmyra Plant, a sand and gravel operation 7.7 miles west of Lyons, and Stone Goose Aggregates, a crushed-stone quarry 11 miles north. If your dump truck or tri-axle is parked at one of those sites, give us the site name and a contact who can let us onto the property.

Further out, the Manchester Plant crushed-stone quarry lies 12.4 miles south-west, and Syracusa Sand & Gravel Inc sits 24.3 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. A truck that works between pits and job sites can stay where it is; we arrange collection at the quarry gate or at your yard.

A Lyons rail yard sits 0.4 miles below the village and a Geneva yard 13.1 miles south, both mapped in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck has worked transload or yard runs, tell us which yard it served so we know where to find it.

Of the 7 bridges in Lyons recorded by the National Bridge Inventory, none is load-posted and 1 has less than 14 feet of clearance: Leach Street over Erie Canal Lock 27, at 13ft 10in. When you give us the truck’s location, mention if the way out passes under that crossing and tell us the truck’s height, so the pickup route is planned around it.

Milk leads the list for Wayne County’s 863 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of corn and soybeans. Milk haulers, grain trucks and feed delivery units from those farms are all trucks we buy; a farm truck registered to the farm should come with that farm’s title in hand.

Manufacturing accounts for 129 and wholesale trade for 123 of the 2,167 Lyons jobs that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023. Building contractors add 11 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for the area. A box truck or straight truck from a local plant, warehouse or building contractor is welcome too; send photos of the cab, the body and the frame.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office named Lyons stands at 9 Pearl St, Lyons, 0.1 miles from the centre of the village. If the title is lost or in someone else’s name, that office is where a replacement is requested before the sale.

Bring the current registration along with the title, plus any inspection or service records you kept. Where a lender still holds the title, let us know at the start so the release can be arranged with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork.

• The title to my truck went astray somewhere in Lyons; where does a duplicate come from?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 9 Pearl St in Lyons is 0.1 miles from the village centre, and a duplicate title can be requested there.
• Our tri-axle sits at a stone quarry north of Lyons; can it be picked up right there?Quarries such as Stone Goose Aggregates, 11 miles north on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, are places we collect from. Give us the site and a gate contact and the truck stays put.
• Will you buy a milk or grain truck off a Wayne County farm?Wayne County’s 863 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture produce milk, corn and soybeans, and the grain, feed and milk trucks that serve them are trucks we buy. Keep the farm’s title and New York registration together for the collection.
