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

Just 2.9 miles south-east of Hilliard, the Columbus Buckeye Yard intermodal ramp appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A day cab that shuttles containers between that ramp and west-side warehouses can be collected from wherever it is parked, so send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the BUCKEYE rail yard 3.4 miles out and the PARSONS yard 13.2 miles south-east. If your tractor pulled chassis to either one, photograph the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the VIN plate and have the registration on hand before you call.

Marble Cliff Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, lies 3.4 miles south-east, and HAZMAG #1 is listed 11.9 miles in the same direction.

Two petroleum product terminals sit close by according to the Energy Information Administration: COLUMBUS, 4.9 miles north-west, and COLUMBUS WEST, 5.1 miles south-east.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 346 active carriers with a Hilliard address, and 295 of them haul general freight. The same FMCSA census lists 41 carriers in paper products, 39 in household goods and 33 in refrigerated food; whether yours is a dry van, a reefer or a moving truck, tell us which body it carries.

Of those carriers, 222 run interstate, 120 stay inside Ohio and 48 operate private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census. Interstate tractors should come with the cab card and the most recent annual inspection; an intrastate unit needs its Ohio title and current registration.

Twenty-nine Hilliard outfits took out new FMCSA registrations in 2024, and the census adds 36 more for 2025. If you started an authority recently and are now selling the power unit, keep the purchase paperwork and lien release together, since we will ask who holds the title.

Hilliard tractors put on a median 52,644 miles a year, going by the mileage 129 local carriers filed with FMCSA. Have the current odometer reading and your service log ready, and note whether the truck is parked at a home, a yard or a customer site.

The FMCSA census also shows drivers split between 373 working within 100 miles and 1,539 going beyond that radius. A long-haul sleeper may be out of state when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked and we will plan the collection there.

Flatbeds, stake bodies and straight trucks serving those employers are welcome here; list the body type and the gross weight rating when you get in touch.

If your truck finished a job contract and now sits on a site, ask the site manager about access and give us a contact who can open the gate.
