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

Of the 29 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Convoy, 20 list grain, feed and hay among their cargo, and 16 list farm supplies. If your truck is a grain hauler or a feed truck that spends harvest between fields and elevators, it is probably parked on a farm lot or in a machine shed when we come for it; tell us which one and whether a gate needs opening.

Van Wert County counted 737 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and soybeans, corn and hogs led the list there. A hopper-bottom trailer, a straight truck with a grain box or a livestock rig from one of those operations is the kind of equipment we collect around Convoy, so send a photo of the body or trailer along with the cab and the VIN plate.

Scott Quarry, a crushed-stone operation logged by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 3.5 miles north-east of Convoy, and the same agency lists Ridge Township Quarry and Mill 11.7 miles east. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run stone out of those pits can be picked up at the quarry yard or at your own place; let us know which, and whether the truck is loaded or empty.

Up the road 18.9 miles north, the Amrize Paulding Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a cement plant. Bulk pneumatic trailers and mixers tied to that plant are welcome too. Have the registration and any service records in one folder so the paperwork goes with the truck on the day it leaves.

Ten and a half miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Van Wert Terminal LLC as a liquid bulk terminal. A tank truck or tanker trailer that loads there can be sold from Convoy without being moved toward Van Wert first; give us the address where it is parked.

For a tanker, photos of the barrel, valves and placard holders help, along with the cab and the frame. Send any inspection paperwork you hold for the tank itself in the same message as the photos.

Private fleets account for 21 of the Convoy carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 17 operate interstate against 12 that stay inside Ohio. A farm or a contractor that hauls its own goods is selling a truck the same way any carrier would: title, registration and a clear photo of the odometer are what we ask for first.

Across the drivers counted for Convoy in FMCSA’s carrier census, 64 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 21 range past it. The median truck here covers 7,500 miles a year, a figure FMCSA’s carrier census reports across 14 carriers that gave their mileage, so many of these trucks stay close enough to home that we collect them right where they are kept.

The two biggest Convoy operations in FMCSA’s carrier census run 16 and 12 power units, and the third runs 5. If you are selling several trucks from a yard that size, list each VIN and say which titles are in hand, so each truck can be handled in a single visit.

General freight shows up for 16 carriers in town and machinery or large objects for 7, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Lowboys, step-decks and van trailers from those operations are part of what we buy alongside the farm equipment, and a trailer can go with its tractor or on its own.

In Ohio, titles are issued through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles at County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the one for Convoy is the Van Wert County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 121 East Main Street Room 207, Van Wert, 45891, 7.3 miles from town. If a title is lost, that is the office to ask for a duplicate before the truck is collected.

Construction accounted for 7 establishments in Census Bureau County Business Patterns figures, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 273 jobs in Convoy in 2023. Whether the truck belongs to a builder or a farm, the name on the title should match the seller; if it is in a business name, bring the paperwork showing who can sign for it.

• Can I sell a trailer without the tractor?Seven Convoy carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census haul machinery or large objects, and a lowboy or flatbed from that work can be sold by itself or with its tractor.
