The Knoxville Truck Market

Knoxville’s I-40 and I-75 convergence makes it the freight gateway of East Tennessee — with I-75 carrying an extraordinary volume of truck traffic between Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky to the north and Chattanooga, Atlanta, and Florida to the south. OTR operators running the full I-75 corridor frequently base out of Knoxville or use the city as a major changeover and maintenance point. I-40 heading west toward Nashville connects Knoxville to Middle Tennessee and the broader Southeast freight network, while I-40 heading east through the Appalachians connects to Asheville and the Carolinas.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory complex — one of the largest science and energy research installations in the United States — and the University of Tennessee’s large facilities management operation generate consistent contractor vehicle demand throughout Knox County. When you’re ready to sell, Big Ugly Truck provides a fast, direct cash option anywhere in East Tennessee. We also buy trucks in Chattanooga, Nashville, and across all of Tennessee.

What You Need to Sell Your Truck

• Clear Tennessee Title — Must be in your name or your company’s name. Salvage titles accepted.
• Basic Truck Info — Year, make, model, VIN, and mileage.
• Photos — Exterior (all four sides), interior cab, and engine bay.
