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

Of the 4,733 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Reading for 2023, manufacturing holds 2,038, a 43.1 percent share. A box truck, flatbed or straight truck that has run parts and finished goods between those plants is the kind of vehicle we collect here, so tell us which plant gates it used and whether it sits at a loading dock or in a side lot.

Construction accounts for 578 Reading jobs, or 12.2 percent, in the same 2023 LEHD release from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks, stake beds and equipment haulers from that trade are welcome; send a photo of the body and the plate along with the cab so we can see the full unit before we schedule anything.

Wholesale trade adds 207 positions and transportation and warehousing 92, according to those LEHD counts. If your tractor or delivery van came out of a distributor’s yard in town, have the registration and the title in the name that matches it, and we will work from those two papers.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Sharonville rail yard 2.7 miles north of Reading and the McCullough yard 3.8 miles south. A tractor that has spent its shifts moving between those two yards is likely parked within a few minutes of either one, and we can meet it wherever it stands.

Just past Sharonville, 2.9 miles north, sits the Cincinnati, OH - Sharonville intermodal ramp listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that pull containers off that ramp are trucks we buy; give us the VIN and the odometer reading first, then a short note on which chassis work it did.

If the truck is still inside a rail-side lot, tell us who controls the gate. Pickup is arranged with whoever holds the keys to the yard, so a name and a phone number saves a second visit.

Cincinnati North, a petroleum product terminal, lies 4.6 miles south-west of Reading on figures from the Energy Information Administration. Tankers that load fuel there and run it to stations across the county fit what we purchase; keep any terminal loading records or hazmat paperwork together with the title.

Two liquid bulk terminals appear on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list near town: Heniff Transportation, 6.5 miles south-east, and Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc., 7.8 miles south. Say which tanks or trailers your rig has pulled for those sites, and include photos of the tractor’s fifth wheel and the trailer connections.

Along the river, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the port of Cincinnati, OH 6.9 miles south-west. A truck that has hauled to the riverfront docks can stay right where it is; send the address and we plan the collection around it.

Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation tracked by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is 8.7 miles south-east of Reading. Dump trucks and end dumps that pull loads out of that pit are on our list, and a photo of the bed raised and lowered tells us most of what we need about the body.

Out past the Reading town line, the 322 Hamilton County farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies raise mostly corn, soybeans and cattle, and their grain and stock haulers are trucks we take. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on one of those farms does not need to come into Reading; tell us the road, and whether the field lane is open in wet weather.

Reading carries 12 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration, and none of the 12 is load-posted or under 14 feet of clearance. A tall tractor or a loaded tow can come and go from an address in town without a bridge detour, which is one less thing to plan around when you book the pickup.

What to have ready at the truck: the Ohio title signed in the owner’s name, the current registration, any service records you kept, and keys for every lock. If a lender is still on the title, tell us at the start so the lien release is part of the plan.

• My tractor sits in a lot by the Sharonville rail yard north of Reading. Should I haul it down to Reading before you come?The Sharonville rail yard sits 2.7 miles north of Reading on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from lots around it. Leave the truck where it is and send us the exact address plus a gate contact.
• Can a tall truck get out of town without a bridge problem?Reading’s 12 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory include none that are load-posted and none under 14 feet, so a standard tractor or tow can reach most addresses here directly.
• I hauled for a plant in Reading. Would a Reading plant truck fit what you collect?Manufacturing holds 2,038 of Reading’s 4,733 jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD counts, and box trucks, flatbeds and tractors from that work are exactly what we collect. Pass along the VIN, a few photos and whose name is printed on the Ohio title.
• My dump truck runs gravel from Evans Gravel. Will you collect it out at the Evans Gravel pit?Evans Gravel is 8.7 miles south-east of Reading in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we can collect at the pit or wherever the truck is parked. Name the person at Evans Gravel who can open the pit gate for the pickup.
