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

Tiverton Materials, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 0.9 miles south-east of town, is the closest working site to the town centre. If your dump truck or tri-axle loads there, it may well be parked at the quarry when we come for it; tell us the gate, the hours and who can let us in.

North of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Inland Fuel Terminals, a liquid bulk terminal, 1.3 miles out, and the Energy Information Administration records the Tiverton petroleum product terminal at 1.4 miles. A tractor or straight tank truck that loads at either one should come with its registration and any terminal or hazmat paperwork you kept, so its working history arrives with the photos.

General freight is the commonest cargo among Tiverton’s 92 active carriers, listed by 34 of them in FMCSA’s carrier census. The same FMCSA census shows another 19 carrying machinery and large objects, 11 hauling logs, poles, beams or lumber, and 9 moving liquids or gases. Whichever of those your truck did, say so when you first get in touch, along with the VIN, and our questions will be about that kind of rig.

Of those Tiverton carriers, 77 run as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census, while 72 hold interstate authority and 19 work intrastate only. FMCSA lists seven new carriers registered here in 2025 and six in 2024. A truck from a small private fleet sells the same way as one from a for-hire outfit: title in the seller’s name, keys and a contact at the yard.

Drivers on Tiverton’s carriers mostly stay local: the FMCSA census records 184 working within 100 miles and 37 going beyond that. Annual mileage is modest too: across 41 reporting carriers, FMCSA’s census puts the median Tiverton truck at 7,700 miles. That means most trucks here are likely to be in a yard in or near town when we collect, not out on a run.

Fleets are small. By FMCSA’s figures the biggest one based here runs 17 power units with 17 drivers, and the next two run 8 trucks apiece. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard that size, give us a list with each VIN and where each unit sits.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026 cover 46 trucks from Tiverton carriers; their median model year is 2019, and 30.4% were ten or more years old. Any model year can be sold to us, so send the year, make and model up front and we work from there.

Service records help whichever year your truck is. If you have oil change logs, inspection reports or receipts from a Newport County shop, scan them or take clear photos and send them with pictures of the cab, frame and tires.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 1,506 jobs in Tiverton in 2023, with 70 of them, or 4.6%, in construction. Sixty-four construction businesses operate here in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from those outfits are trucks we buy, and a contractor can sell one while the rest of the fleet keeps working.

On the farm side, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 200 farms in Newport County, with cattle, tomatoes and horses at the top of the list. A livestock hauler, stake bed or farm straight truck from one of those operations can be collected from the barn or field where it is kept.

West of Tiverton, the North American Rail Network shows the Quonset Auto Load rail yard 11.5 miles away, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the ProvPort roll-on/roll-off terminal at the Port of Providence 13.8 miles to the north-west. If your truck is parked at a lot near either one, we come to it there; tell us whose lot it is.

The Energy Information Administration also lists the East Providence petroleum product terminal, 11.4 miles north-west. A tanker that splits its loads between East Providence and the Tiverton terminal can be picked up at whichever end it is parked.

Both the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks program and its heavy-duty engine and vehicle omnibus rule are in force, published side by side in Rhode Island’s environmental regulations. They set terms for new trucks, and neither stands in the way of selling a diesel you already own in Tiverton.

A photo of the engine’s emissions label, or its certification paper if you kept one, is useful to add to the set. Beyond that, the sale needs the title, the keys and a way to reach the truck, whether it sits at home or at the Tiverton Materials quarry lot 0.9 miles south-east, as MSHA lists it.

• Between loads my tri-axle sits inside the Tiverton Materials gate; is that a place you’ll collect from?Tiverton Materials is 0.9 miles south-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we can collect from the quarry. Name the person at the quarry who holds the keys and the hours the yard is open.
• Our Tiverton company hauls its own goods with a handful of trucks; may we sell only one of them?Seventy-seven of Tiverton’s 92 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, and selling one truck out of one is common. Send that unit’s VIN, title and location.
• Do I have to bring my tanker over to Providence?The Tiverton petroleum terminal is 1.4 miles north on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and we come to your truck there or wherever it is parked, so it stays put.
