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

Chico sits in Wise County with two crushed-stone quarries inside a mile of town, so the trucks parked here tend to haul rock, oilfield gear and hay along short Wise County runs. If you own one of them and want to sell it, we buy commercial trucks from owners and collect them where they stand.

Chico’s quarries and the trucks that serve them

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists North Bridgeport Quarry 0.6 miles west of Chico and the Chico 2 Quarry 0.9 miles south, both crushed-stone operations. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either pit is one we can look at; tell us which quarry it works from and whether it is kept on site or at your place in town.

Further out, Wildcatter Sand Chico LLC runs a sand and gravel operation 7 miles east, and Paradise Plant 1390, another sand and gravel site, lies 11.2 miles south-east, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck is parked at one of those yards, send the gate address and who can let us in, and we will plan the collection around the site’s hours.

North-east of town, the industrial-mineral mine called Alvord shows up 6.6 miles away in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Photos of the bed, the hoist and the tires, taken where the truck sits, give us what we need to start; add the VIN plate and the odometer so nothing has to be asked twice.

Rock, rigs and hay

The freight Chico’s trucking outfits list

General freight is the most common line, claimed by 44 of the 118 active outfits on Chico addresses in FMCSA’s carrier census. Box trucks, flatbed tractors and day cabs from that work are all trucks we buy, so a general-freight rig needs no special case made for it.

Fourteen local carriers name machinery and large objects as cargo and fourteen more name oilfield equipment, according to the same federal census. A lowboy tractor or winch truck that has moved rigs and equipment around Wise County qualifies; list the trailer it pulled and any permits it ran under so we know the setup.

Grain, feed and hay appear on ten carrier registrations in town, FMCSA records show. A farm tractor-trailer or a hay hauler kept in a barn outside Chico can be collected from the property, so give us directions to the gate rather than bringing the truck in.

Short runs, mostly in state

How Chico trucks are operated

Of the carriers registered here, 102 run intrastate and 14 cross state lines, while 16 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, per FMCSA’s census. A Texas-only truck still carries a Texas title and registration, and those two documents are what we ask to see first.

Drivers on Chico registrations split 174 working inside a hundred-mile radius against 57 running beyond it, the federal motor carrier census reports. FMCSA’s carrier census also gives a median of 48,000 miles a year per truck across 35 Chico carriers that reported mileage; note your truck’s odometer reading when you write to us.

The three biggest fleets based in town field 20, 10 and 9 power units, with 17, 6 and 5 drivers respectively, according to FMCSA. Whether you have one truck or several from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs and where each truck is parked so the pickups can be grouped.

Inspectors stopped 119 trucks belonging to Chico-based outfits from late August 2024 to late August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2009. Those FMCSA roadside inspection records also place about 66 percent of the inspected trucks at ten or more model years old.

Model year is a fact on the title, nothing more, and trucks from every year in that range are ones we buy. Keep any inspection reports and service records with the truck; they travel with it and save questions later.

Mining jobs and contractors around Chico

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 384 jobs in Chico for 2023, and 100 of them, 26 percent, are in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. A truck that has worked in that sector, from water haulers to equipment movers, is one to tell us about with a note on what it carried.

Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from a contractor’s yard can all be collected from that yard, so give the address and a contact name for the day.

Cattle pots and feed trucks off Wise County ranches

Around Chico and across the rest of Wise County, 3,528 farms appear in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, deer and foliage plants as the leading listings. A cattle-pot tractor or a feed truck on one of those places can be picked up on the ranch itself.

On a ranch, the truck may sit in a pasture or behind a barn. Tell us whether a trailer is still hitched, how the ground is near the truck, and where the title is kept, so the pickup crew arrives ready.

Texas titles are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Chico that is the Wise County Tax Office at 404 W Walnut, Decatur, 76234, 12.8 miles from town. If the title is lost, a certified copy is requested there before the truck changes hands.

Bring photo ID and the VIN when you go to the Decatur office, and if a lender held the truck, carry the lien release too. Once the copy is in hand, send us a photo of it with the registration and we can move ahead.

The questions we get asked in Chico

  • Will you take an end-dump that loads at the quarry south of town?North Bridgeport Quarry and the Chico 2 Quarry both sit within a mile of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks from either are ones we buy. Photos of the bed and hoist plus the VIN let us begin, along with the address of the yard where it is kept.
  • Can a pickup crew reach a hay truck parked in a back pasture past Chico?Chico’s surrounding county counted 3,528 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and a hay or cattle truck on one of those places is loaded out from the pasture itself; describe the gate and the ground near the truck. Give us directions to the gate and tell us where on the property the truck is.
  • Will you look at an older oilfield truck?Fourteen Chico carriers list oilfield equipment as cargo with FMCSA, and their trucks qualify whatever the model year. Send the model year off the title, the VIN plate and an odometer photo, and say which oilfield leases it served.
