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

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the NS yard 0.9 miles west of downtown Marion and the CSXT yard 2.1 miles west. If your day cab shuttles trailers to either yard, give us the street address where it sits and we will collect it there.

East of town, the Ohio Valley Intermodal Facility is a rail ramp that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts 3.5 miles out. If your tractor pulled containers off that ramp, send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and a shot of the fifth wheel, and keep the registration in the cab for the day we arrive.

Marion Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 2.3 miles north of the city on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and Scioto Sand & Gravel runs 8.8 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from these pits often stay parked on site between loads; tell us whose ground the truck is on and who can open the gate.

Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Upper Sandusky Plant quarry and an industrial-mineral mine of the same name 14.2 miles north-west, plus Kirbys Sand & Gravel 20.8 miles north. A truck sitting at one of those sites does not need to be driven into Marion first; photograph the bed, the hoist and the tag, then send the pictures with the title details.

General freight is listed by 75 of the 130 active carriers based in Marion, per FMCSA’s carrier census. The same census has 27 hauling motor vehicles, 24 carrying metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 23 moving machinery and large objects. Car haulers, flatbeds and lowboys are all trucks we buy here.

Of those carriers, FMCSA’s census shows 88 working intrastate, 40 running interstate and 45 operating as private fleets. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the parent business rather than a trucking company, so check whose name is on the title before you call and have someone with signing authority ready.

Fleet sizes on FMCSA’s census run up to 43 power units with 75 drivers, followed by fleets of 42 units with 35 drivers and 36 units with 25 drivers. If you are selling several tractors from one fleet, list each VIN with its unit number so the paperwork for every truck stays separate.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-08-28 to 2026-08-20 cover 88 trucks from Marion carriers, with a median model year of 2020 and 20.45 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year and VIN from the title are the first two things we ask for.

Across 39 carriers that report it, the median truck covers 29,335 miles a year according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Drivers within 100 miles number 333 against 205 working beyond that radius on the same census. A truck may be parked at home in Marion or at a yard out of state; tell us which before we schedule.

Manufacturing accounts for 1,494 of the 9,927 jobs in Marion on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, about 15 percent. LEHD also counts 235 construction jobs, 143 in transportation and warehousing and 131 in wholesale trade. If your box truck or tractor served plant docks, have the registration and any service records together.

Contractors in Marion number 53 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. A dump truck or flatbed belonging to a contractor may be parked at a job site rather than the shop, so give us the site address and a contact on the ground.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 596 farms in Marion County, with soybeans, corn and hogs leading. Grain trucks and livestock haulers kept in a barn or field can be collected right there; a few photos showing how to reach the truck from the road help us plan the pickup.

None of Marion’s 5 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting or sits under 14 feet. Tell us the exact location of a tall or heavy truck, and we plan the route to it from that address.

If the truck is behind a locked yard, a farm gate or a quarry entrance, name the person who holds the key and their phone number. Keep the title, registration and keys together in one place so nothing is hunted for on collection day.

• I pulled containers out of the Ohio Valley Intermodal Facility. Do you buy day cabs from that work?We do, and container-pulling day cabs are welcome. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places that ramp 3.5 miles east of Marion; send the VIN, photos and the title holder’s name and we will arrange collection at the address you give.
• My truck belongs to a private fleet, not a trucking company. Can a Marion private-fleet unit be sold to you?A private-fleet tractor sells like any other once the business signs. FMCSA’s carrier census shows 45 private fleets in Marion; the person who signs the title for the business needs to be the one who signs the sale.
• I haul grain off a farm in Marion County. Is the farmyard itself a pickup spot for a grain truck?We pick grain trucks up at the farm. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 596 farms in the county, and we collect trucks from farmyards as readily as from town; send directions from the nearest road.
