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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 1,519 active carriers based in Amarillo, and 389 of them mark grain, feed or hay as a cargo they carry. If your tractor has pulled hopper bottoms or hay loads between Randall County farms and grain elevators, tell us the trailer type it was set up for and whether the fifth wheel stays with the tractor.

Meat and refrigerated food each show up on 212 Amarillo carrier registrations in the same FMCSA carrier census. A sleeper that has spent its life on reefer runs out of Amarillo is a truck we purchase; send photos of the cab, the frame and the tires, plus the VIN, and say whether a reefer trailer is part of the sale.

Randall County counted 843 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and sorghum at the top of the list. A farm truck or grain truck that has stayed on one of those operations can be collected right from the ranch yard; give us the gate location and the name of whoever can let our driver in.

Of the active Amarillo carriers, 956 hold intrastate authority, 553 run interstate and 479 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Whichever of those your truck worked for, have the title and current registration in the seller’s name before we schedule the pickup.

Drivers working within 100 miles of home number 2,647 on Amarillo registrations, while 4,461 are listed as going beyond that radius, as the FMCSA carrier census shows. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will finish the trip and we can meet it there instead of in Amarillo.

Among the 524 local carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 36,000 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading handy when you get in touch; with the VIN, it answers most of what we would ask first.

FMCSA roadside inspection records covering August 2024 through August 2026 logged 2,796 trucks tied to Amarillo, with a median model year of 2018. Older and newer units are both on our list, so send the model year with your first message and we can talk about the specific truck.

In those same roadside inspection records from FMCSA, 41.2 percent of the trucks inspected were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, keep any inspection reports or service records together with the title; they let us read the truck’s history alongside the photos.

The three biggest Amarillo fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census run 456, 221 and 164 power units. If you are selling several trucks from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs and the yard address, and we will plan the collection as one job.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the South Amarillo rail yard 0.4 miles south of town and the Amarillo yard 1.4 miles north-east. A day cab that shuttles loads to and from those yards can be picked up wherever it is staged, as long as someone can give access.

Two petroleum product terminals, both named Amarillo by the Energy Information Administration, sit about 5.5 miles north-west of the city. Tank trucks and tractors that have pulled fuel trailers from those racks are welcome; list which terminal the truck loaded at and include any tank inspection paperwork you have kept.

Box Canyon Sand & Gravel and the North Amarillo pit sit 1.7 miles out, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and the Dawn Pit crushed-stone quarry is 16.8 miles south-west. If a dump truck or end-dump tractor of yours is parked at one of those sites, tell us the site name and who runs the gate.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 95,067 jobs in Amarillo, including 4,988 in construction and 4,010 in wholesale trade. Box trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks from those trades are all trucks we buy; photos of each side and the cab interior give us a clear first look.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 596 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD shows 3,972 manufacturing jobs and 2,952 in transportation and warehousing. A company truck from any of those can be sold by whoever holds the title, so confirm whose name is on it before we talk dates.

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 125 bridges in the Amarillo area, three of them posted for load and none under 14 feet of clearance. Let us know if the truck is parked down a road with a posted bridge so our driver can pick a route in.

If a title has gone missing, the Texas state title agency issues replacements, and the request should come from the owner of record. Start that paperwork early and tell us it is underway; we can line up everything else about the truck while you wait.
