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

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 22,013 active carriers based in New York City, and 16,661 of them are registered for intrastate work against 5,320 for interstate. If your truck has spent its years on routes that never left New York, tell us the borough and the street where it sits now; we arrange the collection at that spot.

Of those same carriers, 13,672 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the federal carrier census. A contractor, a wholesaler or a building supply yard that owns a box truck or a dump truck can sell it to us directly; have the title in the company’s name and someone who can sign for the business.

Registrations keep arriving: the FMCSA census shows 1,608 new carriers added in 2025 and 1,292 in 2024. If you started an operation in the last two years and are now selling the tractor you began with, the registration and the title you received at purchase are the two papers we ask for first.

General freight is listed by 10,411 local carriers in the federal carrier census, fresh produce by 2,601, household goods by 2,256 and refrigerated food by 1,908. Tell us which of those your truck carried, and send photos of the body as well as the cab: a moving van, a reefer box and a dry van each get looked at differently.

For a refrigerated unit, keep the reefer’s service records with the truck and photograph the unit’s hour meter alongside the odometer. Straight trucks and tractors pulling reefer trailers are both trucks we buy.

Drivers working within 100 air miles number 62,342 in FMCSA’s census, set against 21,162 who range beyond it. For a local truck, give us the exact pickup address and any gate or parking restrictions on that block.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Bayside Fuel Oil Depot Corporation liquid bulk terminal 3.2 miles west of the city centre, with a second Bayside site 3.5 miles north. The Energy Information Administration lists petroleum product terminals at Smith Street, 3.2 miles west, and Grand Street, 3.6 miles north. Tank trucks and fuel oil delivery trucks that load at those sites are on our list; tell us the tank’s capacity and have its most recent tank test paperwork ready.

Red Hook Container Terminal, an intermodal ramp 3.9 miles west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, is where container chassis work begins and ends. Day cabs that pull boxes off that ramp can be collected from the yard where they are kept; send the VIN and the odometer reading with your first message.

Two rail yards sit close by on the North American Rail Network: Thirty Ninth Street, 3.3 miles west, and Fresh Pond, a CSXT yard 3.9 miles north-east. If your truck drays freight between those yards and nearby warehouses, say which yard it serves so we know the route the collection driver will take.

The National Bridge Inventory records 1,470 bridges around the city, 247 of them with less than 14 feet of clearance and 37 carrying a posted load limit. When you send us the pickup address, mention any low overpass or posted bridge between the truck and the nearest highway. Note the clearance on its sign if you can.

The National Bridge Inventory lists one structure, where the Grand Concourse crosses East Tremont Avenue, at 4 feet 3 inches. A truck parked anywhere near a crossing like that needs its route agreed before collection day, and a photo of the street outside the yard helps.

A lost title is handled by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles; its Brooklyn - Atlantic Center office at 625 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, is 2.4 miles from the city centre. Start the replacement there before you contact us, and bring the registration and your ID.

Across 10,460 trucks checked in FMCSA roadside inspection records between August 2024 and August 2026, the median model year was 2019 and 31.4 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, tell us the year, make and model up front, with the VIN.

New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation are both listed by the state Department of Environmental Conservation with enforcement paused. If you have a question about either rule and your truck, ask us when you get in touch.

Construction accounts for 140,758 jobs here in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, transportation and warehousing for 140,386 and wholesale trade for 138,573. Dump trucks, flatbeds, box trucks and tractors from each of those trades are all trucks we purchase, so tell us which trade yours worked in.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 15,480 construction establishments in the county and 110 warehousing establishments. A contractor selling a dump truck or a mixer should have the title, the registration and photos of the body and chassis ready before contacting us.

• Can you collect a day cab kept by the Red Hook Container Terminal without it coming into Brooklyn’s center?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Red Hook ramp 3.9 miles west of the city centre, and we collect from the yard or street where the truck sits. Tell us who controls access to the lot.
• Where do I replace a lost title in Brooklyn?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 625 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn - Atlantic Center, 2.4 miles from the city centre, handles it. Begin the replacement before you list the truck with us.
• Is there a low bridge I should warn you about?Possibly. The National Bridge Inventory counts 247 bridges here under 14 feet, so tell us of any overpass between your truck and the highway when you send the address.
