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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Armadillo Pit, a crushed-stone quarry, 8.6 miles south-east of town, and Cordova Quarry, which cuts dimension stone, 8.9 miles to the south. A dump truck or flatbed that cycles between those two sites and Bertram rarely sits far from a gravel lot or a quarry gate, so send us the street address or the gate name where it parks and we will route the pickup there.

North-west toward Burnet, the Burnet Screening Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 11.5 miles out, and Sunset Quarries, another dimension-stone site, lies 16.8 miles south-west. If your tractor pulls block or slab from Sunset, photograph the trailer deck, the tie-down points and the cab together, and list the trailer separately if it goes with the sale.

Further afield, Eagle’s Nest Mine works sand and gravel 19.7 miles west, and North Austin Quarry does the same 23.5 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A truck based at either end of that line can be collected on site; tell us which operation it serves so we can check access before we arrive.

General freight is the cargo line on 39 of the 72 active Bertram carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, more than any other category it lists for the town. That mix means box trucks, straight trucks and tractors with dry vans all turn up here, and any of them is a truck we purchase from its owner.

Machinery and large objects appear on 18 Bertram carrier registrations in the same federal census, with grain, feed and hay on 13 and farm supplies on 12. Lowboys, step-decks and hay trailers behind a tractor are part of that picture; tell us the trailer type and whether it stays with the tractor or comes separately.

Most Bertram carriers stay inside Texas: FMCSA’s carrier census lists 61 as intrastate and 10 as interstate, and 29 haul their own goods as private carriers.

Bertram-based trucks stopped for 31 roadside inspections from September 2024 to August 2026 show a 2017 median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and just under half of them, 48 percent, carried a model year ten or more years back. Whatever year yours is, have the VIN plate photographed along with the odometer so the year and the reading match the title.

A typical Bertram truck covers about 51,200 miles a year, the median of what 15 local carriers reported to FMCSA. Keep the service log or shop invoices that go with those miles together in the cab; they let us confirm the history without a second visit.

The federal carrier census shows one Bertram operation with 75 power units and 80 drivers, while the next two run three trucks each. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard, list each unit with its VIN so we can plan one collection for all of them.

Texas titles are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and in Burnet County that work is handled at the Burnet County Tax Office, one of the state’s county tax assessor-collector offices, at 1701 E Polk St Ste 96, Burnet, 78611, about 8.7 miles from Bertram. If the title for your truck is missing, that office is where a certified copy is requested.

Bring the VIN, your identification and the current registration when you go to the Burnet office. If a lender is still listed on the title, ask the lienholder for a release before you contact us, since the title has to be clear of that name before it can be signed over.

Cattle, goats and horses lead the livestock list for the 1,428 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts across Burnet County. Bertram’s grain, feed and hay haulers and its farm-supply carriers serve that ranch land, so a truck may be parked at a barn or a pasture gate rather than a yard.

If your truck sits on a ranch outside Bertram, send directions to the gate and a note on whether a loaded tow vehicle can reach it. A stock trailer or hay trailer sold with the tractor goes on the same list, with its own VIN if it has one.

On the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, more than a third of Bertram’s work, 37.1 percent, sat in construction: 166 positions out of 448 in town. Dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers belong to that kind of work, and all of them are trucks we purchase.

Bertram’s area shows 39 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor retiring a truck from one of those firms should have the company title, the registration and the name of the person who signs for the business ready when we call.

New carrier registrations continue here as well: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 5 Bertram carriers added in 2024 and 4 in 2025. A newer operator selling a first truck needs the same things as an established one, the title, the registration and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.

• Will you come to a quarry outside Bertram to collect my truck?Armadillo Pit, Cordova Quarry and the Burnet Screening Plant all sit within about 12 miles of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from sites like those; tell us the gate and any site entry rules.
• Can a Bertram business that hauls its own goods sell us its tractor?Bertram has 29 private-fleet carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and we purchase their trucks when the business holds the title and an authorised person signs it.
• Can I sell a hay or livestock hauler from a ranch near Bertram?Grain, feed and hay appear on 13 Bertram carrier registrations in FMCSA’s census, and we collect those trucks from the ranch where they are parked; send directions to the gate.
