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

Of the 13,779 jobs located in Obetz during 2023, transportation and warehousing held 8,679, a 63 percent share on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If your tractor has been backing into docks around the village, it is probably parked at a yard or a distribution lot rather than at your house, so tell us the lot and who controls the gate.

Manufacturing held 1,152 jobs and wholesale trade 770 in the same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. A box truck or day cab that shuttled parts or pallets between those plants and warehouses can be collected straight from the loading area; send a photo of the VIN plate and the registration card before we schedule the visit.

Construction work accounted for 237 Obetz jobs, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023. Dump trucks and flatbeds from that line of work sometimes sit at a job site between contracts, and that is a fine place for us to meet them as long as someone can let us onto the ground.

Listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Watkins Road yard lies 2.7 miles north of Obetz and the Parsons yard 3.2 miles north-west. Drayage tractors that run between those yards and the warehouses south of them are part of what we buy, so note which yard you worked and keep the cab card with the truck.

Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal 2.4 miles north-west, and Norfolk Southern TBT, another liquid bulk terminal 4.7 miles north, both appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your tractor pulled tank trailers off either transload site, gather any hazmat inspection paperwork and the registration so the file is complete when we arrive.

Sellers who hauled from those terminals often keep the tractor near the rail lines on Obetz’s north side. Give us the street address or the terminal gate you used, a phone number for whoever holds the keys, and we plan the collection around that spot.

Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the Columbus Plant crushed-stone quarry 3.4 miles north-west of Obetz and Columbus Limestone 4.6 miles west. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate from those pits are trucks we purchase, whether they sit at the quarry, a contractor’s yard or your driveway.

Quarry trucks usually carry their own service history in a binder or a shop’s invoice file. Photograph the body, the frame rails and the tires along with the cab, and send those with the title; we want to see the whole unit before our carrier heads out to Columbus Limestone or the Columbus Plant.

Rickenbacker sits 3.6 miles south of Obetz and NG Rickenbacker 4.1 miles south, both listed as military installations by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored near either one may sit behind a controlled gate, so tell us early whether we need an escort or a pass to reach it.

If the truck is parked on a base-adjacent lot you no longer visit, you can still sell it. Send the title, a recent photo set and the name of the person on site, and we arrange the collection with them directly.

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 27 active motor carriers based in Obetz: 17 haul general freight, 6 carry motor vehicles, 4 move refrigerated food and 4 do driveaway or towaway work. That spread means we see car-hauler tractors and reefer units here as well as dry-van rigs, and each one needs only its title and keys to get started.

Of those 27 carriers in the FMCSA census, 11 run interstate, 16 stay intrastate and 5 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a single tractor follows the same steps as an owner-operator: the titled owner signs, and we collect from the company lot.

The FMCSA census shows 4 new carriers registered in Obetz in 2025 and 3 in 2024. If yours is one of those newer outfits and you are trimming back to fewer power units, have the registration and the title in the company name ready for the sale.

In FMCSA’s census, the three Obetz fleets with the most power units run 16 tractors with 23 drivers, 14 with 6 drivers, and 10 with 7 drivers. Selling several units from a fleet that size works the same as selling one; list each VIN and where each truck is parked.

Local carriers report 52 drivers working within 100 miles and 22 going beyond that radius, per the FMCSA carrier census. A tractor on regional routes may be out on a load when you first contact us, so tell us the day it returns to the Obetz yard.

For the 5 Obetz carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s census, the median is 20,925 miles per truck. Have the current odometer reading ready when you write to us; it goes on the paperwork with the VIN.

None of the 11 Obetz bridges carried in the National Bridge Inventory is load-posted, and none clears less than 14 feet. Our carrier can reach a tall tractor or a loaded flatbed parked in town without a detour around a low or posted span.

Soybeans, corn and potted flowering plants lead the crop list for Franklin County’s 372 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and straight trucks from those farms can be collected at the barn; the farm owner on the title signs and we handle the rest.

• Our day cab sits on a lot beside the Watkins Road rail yard; does it have to come into Obetz first?Watkins Road sits 2.7 miles north of Obetz in the North American Rail Network, and we collect from lots beside it. Send the lot’s address and the name of whoever unlocks it.
• Will you pick up a dump truck at Columbus Limestone after years of stone runs from that pit?Columbus Limestone is 4.6 miles west of Obetz in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a dump truck parked at the pit or at a contractor’s yard nearby is fine. Send the title and photos of the body and frame.
• As a private fleet based in Obetz, can we sell just one of our trucks?Obetz has 5 private fleets among its 27 carriers in FMCSA’s census, and any one of them can sell a single unit. The company named on the title signs, and we collect from your lot.
• Can your carrier get to a truck parked close to the Rickenbacker gates?Rickenbacker lies 3.6 miles south of Obetz in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we arrange access with whoever controls the lot. Let us know if a pass or escort is required.
