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

Collinwood Yard, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as Cleveland’s rail intermodal ramp, sits 5.3 miles north-west of University Heights. A day cab that drays boxes off that ramp is a truck we collect, so tell us whether it is parked at home or at a lot near the yard when you first get in touch.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the COLLINGWOOD rail yard 5.3 miles due north and the EAST 55TH ST yard 6 miles west. If your tractor shuttled between those two, have the VIN, the title and a set of photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel ready before we talk.

Container tractors that sit near a rail yard are often behind a gate. Give us the street address, the name of whoever holds the key, and the hours the lot is open, and the collection gets planned around that person rather than around you.

Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, is 5.5 miles north of town, and Transflo CSXT, another liquid bulk site on that same list, is 7.4 miles west. Tractors that pulled tank trailers between rail sidings like these are on our list, and so are the trailers themselves if you own them outright.

For a tanker rig, the paperwork that helps most is whatever the terminals asked you to carry: tank test certificates, hazmat registration and the tractor’s service log. Put them in one folder with the title so nothing has to be chased later.

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal called CLEVELAND 7.1 miles west of University Heights, with CLEVELAND - ASPHALT a little further at 7.4 miles. Fuel haulers and asphalt tractors that load at those racks can be sold from wherever they are parked between shifts.

If a paving tractor is stored for the winter, tell us where it is kept, whether it is indoors, and who can open the building on the day we arrive. Keep the title and registration with the keys so everything is in one place.

Workplaces inside University Heights numbered 3,495 jobs in 2023, going by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts.

Since the LEHD figures place only a small share of local work in plants, ask yourself where your truck actually spends its nights, whether that is your driveway or a yard elsewhere in Cuyahoga County. Send us that address and the collection starts there.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 104 farms in Cuyahoga County, and lists tomatoes, cut flowers and cultivated greens, and equine as its leading products there. Box trucks that carried flats from greenhouses, and pickups or straight trucks that hauled hay and horse trailers, fit the commercial vehicles we purchase.

Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or a farm business instead of the driver. Check the name printed on the title before you contact us, and if it belongs to someone else, have them ready to sign.

Start with the title, the registration and the keys, then photograph the truck from all four corners plus the dash and the VIN plate. If the title has gone missing, a replacement comes from the state’s title agency, and you can begin that request before you reach out.

Let us know whether the truck is parked on a driveway, a side street or a rented space behind a business. A note about overhead wires, tight turns or a narrow apron saves a second trip.

• My day cab is still sitting at a lot by Collinwood Yard, not at my house on the Heights side, so can you pick it up there?Collinwood Yard is 5.3 miles north-west of University Heights on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and we collect the tractor right where it sits there. Give us the lot’s street address plus the name of whoever controls its gate.
• I hauled asphalt out of the Cleveland terminal. Is that kind of tractor something you take?The Energy Information Administration places the CLEVELAND - ASPHALT terminal 7.4 miles west of town, and the tractors and trailers that load there are among the commercial trucks we buy. Have the title and service log together when you call.
• The box truck’s Ohio title went missing after a move within University Heights, so where do I apply for a duplicate?Ohio titles are reissued by the state’s title agency, so a University Heights owner applies there for a duplicate. Begin that request, tell us where it stands, and we will work from the paperwork you have.
