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

Ravena sits in southern Albany County with a cement plant, two stone quarries, the Selkirk rail yard and a string of fuel terminals all within about eight miles, and the trucks registered here haul freight, machinery, lumber and vehicles between them.

Selling a truck in Ravena? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Cement and stone just north of the village

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Amrize Ravena Plant, a cement plant, 2.1 miles north of Ravena, and the South Bethlehem crushed-stone quarry 3.9 miles to the north-west. If your tractor or dump truck has spent its shifts between the kiln and the quarry face, it may still be parked on one of those sites; tell us which one and who can let us through the gate.

Six and a half miles west, Alcove Quarry appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a dimension-stone quarry, 6.4 miles from Ravena. For a truck that hauled from Alcove, send the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the deck, the cab and the tires before we talk about anything else.

Propane, tankers, Selkirk

Selkirk, the terminals and the river corridor

North of the village, the Energy Information Administration places the Selkirk LPG Terminal 3.8 miles away and an Albany petroleum product terminal 8 miles out. For a propane bobtail or fuel tanker that loaded at either one, keep any tank inspection certificates and loading-site paperwork with the title and send them with the photos.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists two liquid bulk terminals close by: Citgo, 7.9 miles north, and Center Point Terminal Company, 8.1 miles north-east of Ravena. If your tank truck still sits in a yard near either one, we collect it there; give us the street address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.

The Selkirk rail yard lies 5.9 miles north, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a yard like that often stay parked near it between jobs, and we can arrange a pickup at that lot rather than in town.

Freight, lowboys and log trailers out of Ravena

Ravena is home base for 154 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, where general freight shows up on 55, machinery and large objects on 42, logs, poles, beams and lumber on 29 and motor vehicles on 26. Whether you ran a car hauler, a lowboy for equipment or a log trailer rig, tell us the cargo it pulled, since that shapes the photos we ask for.

Split by operation, FMCSA’s carrier census has 116 of Ravena’s carriers staying inside New York and 38 crossing state lines, while 116 move their own goods as private fleets. The same census puts 365 drivers within a 100-mile radius and 130 beyond it. For a private-fleet truck, have the registration in the business name ready, plus a note of who at the company signs the title.

New registrations add up too: FMCSA’s carrier census records 10 new carriers in Ravena during 2025 and 5 during 2024. In that census the three biggest local operations run 33, 29 and 26 power units; whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard, list each VIN and where each one is parked.

Mileage and model years from inspections

Among 45 carriers that report it, FMCSA’s carrier census shows a median of 14,000 miles per truck a year in Ravena. Have the odometer reading written down when you contact us, along with the VIN; those two answer most of our first questions.

Roadside checks of 163 Ravena-based trucks from September 2024 to August 2026, in FMCSA roadside inspection records, put the median model year at 2018, with 41.1 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the year of yours, send a recent inspection report along with the registration.

Title desk, jobs, farms

Title office and county background

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office that handles titles for this area is East Greenbush, at 99 Troy Rd, East Greenbush, 11.5 miles from Ravena. If the title is lost or carries an old lienholder, sort out a replacement or a lien release there before we arrange collection.

In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 514 jobs in Ravena, 174 of them, or 33.9 percent, in manufacturing. Albany County holds 42 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, so a dump truck or flatbed working for a contractor here should come with its registration and the name of the business on the title.

Corn, sheep and maple syrup lead Albany County’s 349 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A farm truck is in scope as well; send photos and the title in the farm or owner’s name, and tell us which field or barn it sits beside.

The questions we get asked in Ravena

  • Can you collect a day cab left beside the Selkirk rail yard instead of in Ravena itself?Selkirk sits 5.9 miles north of Ravena on the North American Rail Network, and we pick up from the truck’s location there. Send the lot’s address near Selkirk and a contact who can let our driver in.

  • Do you take trucks that hauled from the cement plant or quarries?The Amrize Ravena Plant at 2.1 miles and the South Bethlehem quarry at 3.9 miles, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are the kind of sites we collect from.
