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

Big Spring sits in Howard County with a rail yard on its north-east side and sand, gravel and quarry pits ringing the town, so the trucks here haul oilfield gear, aggregate, cotton and cattle as often as general freight.

Selling a truck in Big Spring? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Sand, gravel and stone pits east and north of Big Spring

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists OnCore8, a sand and gravel operation 1.4 miles east of Big Spring, and two more sites 5.8 miles out: Tubb Quarry Plt #1 to the north and West Point Plant #1 to the north-east. A dump truck or belly-dump that shuttles between those pits and town is probably parked close by when we come for it. Send us the gate or yard address so the pickup goes to the right spot.

Further out, Spur Pit #3 is a crushed-stone quarry 20.1 miles north, and Strain Quarry, a cement plant, lies 21 miles west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. We collect at those sites too. Give us the location and the name of whoever can open the gate on collection day.

Howard County’s intrastate carriers and private fleets

There are 234 active carriers based in Big Spring on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 206 of them are registered as intrastate against 28 interstate. For a Texas-plated truck, a title in your name and current registration are what we ask to see first.

Of those 234 Big Spring carriers, 76 run private fleets that haul their own goods, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A company truck from one of those fleets can be sold by the business that owns it; have the person who signs for the company available, along with the title in the business name.

New registrations continue in town: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 15 carriers added in 2025 and 14 in 2024. If you started up in the last couple of years and are now selling a unit, your purchase paperwork and the title transfer from that time will answer most of our questions.

Rig moves, heavy machinery and cotton country loads

General freight leads the cargo lines on FMCSA’s carrier census for Big Spring at 131 carriers, followed by oilfield equipment at 68 and machinery or large objects at 63. Winch trucks, gin-pole units and lowboy tractors that move rigs and heavy equipment fit what we buy. Tell us what the truck was set up to pull, and include photos of the bed, winch or fifth wheel with the cab.

Thirty Big Spring carriers list farm supplies as cargo, by FMCSA’s carrier census. Howard County has 407 farms, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, cattle and horses at the top of the list. A cattle hauler, module truck or feed truck kept on a farm outside town is collected where it sits; send the farm address and directions if the gate is off a county road.

Short-haul and long-haul miles

On FMCSA’s carrier census, Big Spring carriers report 360 drivers who stay within 100 miles and 277 who go beyond that. Either way, a note on how the truck was used, local runs or longer trips, helps us read the odometer alongside the rest of its history.

Across 49 Big Spring carriers that report mileage, the median is 25,000 miles per truck a year, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN ready when you contact us; those two figures start every conversation about a truck.

Fleet sizes on the register run up to 33 power units with 33 drivers, then 23 power units with 44 drivers and 22 with 22, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are selling several units from a fleet of that size, list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we can plan the collection around the yard.

Roadside inspections and model years in Howard County

FMCSA roadside inspection records from 31 August 2024 to 26 August 2026 cover 175 Big Spring trucks, with a median model year of 2013 and 70.3 percent at ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, gather service records and recent inspection reports before you call.

If your truck was one of those inspected, the roadside report is part of its paperwork. Keep it with the title and registration, and send photos of the cab, frame and tires so we see the truck as you describe it.
