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

Alpine-addressed outfits number 47 active motor carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, from one-truck ranch haulers to small fleets. If yours is one of them, the USDOT number on the door is the quickest way for us to match the truck to its registration, so have it handy along with the VIN when you get in touch.

Of those 47, the federal carrier census counts 43 that run intrastate only and just 4 that cross state lines. A tractor or straight truck that has stayed inside Texas will carry Texas registration and a Texas title; send a photo of both with the cab and the odometer, and the paperwork side is settled early.

Thirty-three of the carriers on FMCSA’s list are private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If the truck belongs to a ranch, a contractor or a feed business rather than to you personally, tell us whose name is on the title so the right person signs.

General freight is the cargo most often declared, by 19 Alpine carriers in the FMCSA census, with machinery and large objects next at 13. A tractor that has pulled a lowboy or a flatbed with equipment on it is the kind of unit we collect here; photograph the fifth wheel, the deck and the tires as well as the cab.

Nine local carriers list grain, feed and hay and seven list farm supplies, according to the same FMCSA records. Brewster County had 205 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, foliage plants and cotton at the top of the list. A feed truck or hay hauler may well be parked out on a ranch rather than in town, and we plan the pickup around wherever it sits.

Among 13 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 12,000 miles a truck per year. Driver figures in the carrier census show 33 drivers working within 100 miles and 104 working beyond that radius. Wherever your route ended, give us the address where the truck is parked now and the name of someone who can reach it.

The biggest fleets in town are small: FMCSA lists one with 10 power units and 2 drivers, one with 8 units and 7 drivers, and one with 5 units and 12 drivers. Selling one tractor out of a handful is straightforward; list each unit by VIN and say which one is going so nothing gets mixed up.

New registrations in the carrier census show 3 Alpine carriers starting up in 2025 and 1 in 2024. If you bought the truck recently, keep the bill of sale and the signed-over title together, since those are the documents a transfer depends on.

Crushed stone comes out of Stubbs Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places roughly 8 miles north-east of Alpine. Dump trucks and tractors that have hauled aggregate from a site like that are ones we buy; if the truck is still parked at the quarry, tell us who controls the gate so the collection is arranged with them.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 17 construction establishments locally, and the LEHD job counts put construction at 91 of the 2,695 jobs in Alpine in 2023, a 3.4 percent share. A contractor’s truck sold off the books of a small outfit still needs the company’s authorised signer on the title, so name that person when you first contact us.

The National Bridge Inventory records 26 bridges in the Alpine area, and none of them is load-posted or under 14 feet of clearance. That leaves our recovery equipment a clear run to a ranch gate or a yard on the edge of town, so the main thing we need is accurate directions.

Those same bridge figures from the Federal Highway Administration’s inventory mean a tall load or a heavy tractor can come out the same way it went in. Send a pin or written directions, mention any locked gate or soft ground track, and we will route the pickup to match.

A Texas title in the seller’s name is the main document; if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, so start that request before the truck is collected. Keep the registration receipt with it.

Service records, annual inspection reports and the logbook from a truck that worked the quarry, a ranch or long routes out of town all help us understand its history. None is required, but photos of each with the cab and frame shots let us ask fewer questions.

• My hay truck sits on a ranch well outside Alpine. Does it have to come in off the ranch first?Brewster County counts 205 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, so plenty of trucks here sit on ranch land, and we collect from there. A ranch address plus a phone number for whoever holds the gate key is all the pickup needs.
• The truck hauled stone out of Stubbs Quarry. Would you still take it?Stubbs Quarry, listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration about 8 miles north-east of town, is just the sort of site trucks here work. Tell us it hauled aggregate and send photos of the body and frame.
• Our ranch runs a few trucks as a private fleet. Could we sell only one of those tractors?Alpine has 33 private fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, and selling one unit out of a few is routine for us. Give us that truck’s VIN and the name of the person authorised to sign the company title.
