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

Delaware sits in Delaware County, Ohio, with a crushed-stone quarry west of town and the Buckeye rail yard south toward Columbus. Dump trucks, flatbeds and general freight tractors all work out of here, and we buy them where they are parked.

Quarry haul around Delaware

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Columbus Region Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, 2.9 miles west of Delaware, and Shelly Material’s Ostrander quarry 8.3 miles to the south-west. If your dump truck or tri-axle hauls stone out of either pit, tell us which one when you get in touch, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab.

Further out, Scioto Sand & Gravel is 14.9 miles north-west of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck parked at a pit or a contractor’s yard out that way can stay there; give us the address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.

Dry bulk is a cargo line for 19 Delaware carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, out of 199 active carriers based here. Have the title in your name and the current registration ready for the day we collect.

General freight

Tractors, flatbeds and car haulers

General freight is listed by 133 of Delaware’s active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 33 hauling machinery and large objects and 26 moving motor vehicles. Whether yours is a van tractor, a step-deck rig or a car hauler, send the VIN and the odometer reading first and we will ask the rest from there.

Interstate authority is held by 94 local carriers and intrastate by 103, according to the FMCSA census, and 71 of them run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that belonged to a private fleet usually comes with service records kept in-house; ask the fleet office for a copy before you sell it.

Of the drivers employed by Delaware carriers, FMCSA’s census counts 1,614 working within 100 miles of base and 457 going further. For the 66 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median was 27,817 miles a truck in a year. Write the odometer reading down on the day you send photos, so the figure you quote matches the dash.

Inspection stops and model years

Between September 2024 and August 2026, troopers and federal officers checked 203 Delaware-based trucks, as logged in FMCSA roadside inspection records. In those inspection records the median model year was 2020, and 21.2 percent were ten or more years old.

If your truck went through one of those roadside checks, keep the inspection report with the title. Those same FMCSA records list the unit by VIN, and having the report in hand lets us confirm the truck is the one on your paperwork.

Fleet sales

Selling several units at once

The three biggest fleets registered in Delaware carry 155, 69 and 66 power units in FMCSA’s carrier census. New registrations added 16 carriers in 2024 and another 15 in 2025, on the same federal census.

If you are retiring more than one truck, list each VIN with its title status in one message. We can collect several units from one yard in a single visit, so tell us where they are lined up and who holds the keys.

Clearance under the highway over Lincoln

Among the 29 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists in Delaware, none is load-posted. The National Bridge Inventory puts one under 14 feet: structure 2100487, carrying US 23 over Lincoln Avenue at 12 ft 5 in.

If your truck is parked on a street that runs under that highway crossing, mention it with the address. A tall tractor or a loaded flatbed collected from Lincoln Avenue needs a route that avoids that span, and knowing in advance lets us plan the trailer we bring.

Soybean fields, factories and contractors

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 16,855 jobs in Delaware in 2023: 2,507 in manufacturing, 1,224 in transportation and warehousing, 497 in construction and 402 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and day cabs that serve those plants and docks often sit in a company lot; give us the lot address and the contact for the yard.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 106 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments here. Dump trucks and flatbeds from a building contractor are welcome; include photos of any body or crane fitted to the chassis.

Delaware County holds 728 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and hogs as the top products. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept in a barn can be picked up from the farm itself; tell us whether the lane takes a tow rig.
