Kingston · Washington County · Rhode Island

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

Kingston sits in Washington County with a sand and gravel pit on its south-east edge, rail yards up toward Davisville and Quonset, and crushed-stone quarries out to the west, so the trucks parked here tend to be dump bodies, tri-axles and the tractors that pull aggregate.

Selling a truck in Kingston? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Gravel pits beside the village

South County Sand & Gravel is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a sand and gravel operation 1.5 miles south-east of Kingston. A dump truck that loads there most days is probably parked within a few minutes of town, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records a second sand and gravel operation, We Lease It Inc-North, 5.1 miles north. If your tri-axle or ten-wheeler splits its time between the two pits, tell us which one it sleeps at; the collection is arranged around that spot, not around your home.

Photograph the body, the tailgate, the cab and the VIN plate in daylight before you call. For a truck that hauls gravel off these sites, a clear picture of the hoist and the frame rails saves a round of questions.

Quarry tractors west and north of town

West of Kingston the federal mine safety agency, MSHA, lists Plant 7, a crushed-stone quarry 15.8 miles out. Further north, Cranston Quarry sits 20.1 miles away by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing. Tractors and dump trailers that run stone from either one are trucks we buy.

If your rig is still on a quarry lot rather than at your house, that is where we collect it. Have the title in the registered owner’s name, the current registration card, and any service records you kept, and send them along with the location so the paperwork matches the truck we find.

Davisville, Quonset and the two forts

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Davisville rail yard 9.7 miles north and the Quonset Auto Load yard 11.2 miles north-east of Kingston. A day cab that shuttles freight between those yards and the bay can be sold from wherever it stands at the end of a shift.

Ft Nathaniel Greene USARC is 6.6 miles south-east and Fort Adams RI is 9.5 miles east, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If a truck you own is kept near either installation, let us know who can let a driver onto the lot; access to those sites is something to sort out before pickup day, not on it.

Kingston employers, builders and cattle farms

Kingston held 1,133 jobs in 2023, a figure from the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 3 construction establishments here, so a contractor’s single dump truck or stake body is as likely a seller as a fleet.

Washington County had 324 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and hogs the top products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm flatbeds from those operations are welcome too; send the title and a photo of the bed along with the cab.

Selling a truck you inherited or took over from a farm or small contractor? Find out whose name is on the title first. If the title is missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement, and we can wait for it before the truck leaves the property.

Two emission rules in force for Rhode Island trucks

Under the state’s low- and zero-emission vehicle programs, Advanced Clean Trucks is listed as in force at rules.sos.ri.gov. The heavy-duty engine and vehicle Omnibus regulation, filed in that same part of the code, is in force as well.

Selling a diesel from around Kingston, have the title, the registration and the engine details ready, read off the door sticker or the valve cover label, so we know which engine the truck carries.

The questions we get asked in Kingston

  • Our dump truck is kept at South County Sand & Gravel; will you collect it from the pit?South County Sand & Gravel is 1.5 miles from Kingston on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and collecting from that yard is routine for us. Clear it with the site and give us a contact for the gate.
  • The title to our farm’s grain truck near Kingston has gone missing; how does the sale go ahead?With 324 farms across Washington County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, a farm truck with a lost title is a familiar case. Apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate, tell us when you have applied, and we will set up the sale around it.
  • Does the Advanced Clean Trucks rule stop me selling my diesel?Rhode Island’s Advanced Clean Trucks program, published on the Secretary of State’s rules site, is in force, and it does not appear on the list of things we ask a Kingston seller for. What we do need is the title, the registration and the engine details from the door sticker.
