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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Beltline Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 6.5 miles north-west of Combine, with Post Oak No 1 another gravel site 8.1 miles due west. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has spent its days loading at either one, it may still be parked near the scale house rather than at home. Name the pit, the gate the truck stands behind and the foreman who can unlock it for us.

Four of the sixteen active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Combine haul dry bulk commodities, the kind of loads those two pits send out. Before we talk, photograph the bed, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate, and note whether the truck is titled alone or together with a trailer.

Ten and a half miles west, near Wilmer, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Dallas Intermodal Terminal as a rail intermodal ramp, and the North American Rail Network shows the matching rail yard at 10.8 miles. A day cab that has pulled chassis out of that gate is a truck we will collect from a yard in Wilmer, Hutchins or right here in Combine.

A second ramp, Dallas Mesquite, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings 15.4 miles north-west, beside the DALLAS TOFC yard the rail network places at 15.6 miles. For a tractor that worked either ramp, have the registration, the VIN and any service records together, since those three answer most of what we ask first.

Energy Information Administration records put the Ennis Plant petroleum product terminal 17.7 miles south-west and the PAR TRUCK RACK terminal 21.6 miles north-west of town. A tractor that loaded fuel at either rack can stay wherever it is parked between runs; tell us the lot and the hours someone can let us in.

If the fuel trailer goes with the tractor, say so up front and send separate photos of each, along with the plates for both. If only the power unit is for sale, a picture of the fifth wheel and the cab interior is enough to start.

Of the 16 carriers counted by FMCSA’s carrier census, 15 run intrastate, one crosses state lines and four are private fleets carrying their own goods. Five list general freight, one farm supplies and one garbage and refuse. Whatever the truck hauled, a Texas title in your name and the current registration are what let the sale go through.

The fleets are small: the three biggest in the federal carrier census run four, three and three power units. For a one- or two-truck owner, that means you are usually both the person who signs and the person who knows where the truck sits, so a single phone call can cover everything.

Six of those carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, with a median of 27,025 miles per truck in a year, and the census counts 17 drivers working within a hundred-mile radius against 7 who go further. Send the odometer reading with your photos so we have it from the start.

Titles in Combine go through county tax assessor-collector offices, and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists the Kaufman County Tax Office at 100 N. Washington St., Kaufman, 75142, 12.1 miles from town on the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles office list. If the title is lost, that is where a replacement request starts.

Bring photo ID and the VIN when you go, and if a lender once held the truck, a lien release as well. Tell us early that a copy is on order so we can plan the collection around the date it arrives.

Around Combine, cattle, horses and deer lead the 2,478 farms in Kaufman County, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Stock haulers, flatbeds carrying hay and pickups with gooseneck hitches park on those ranches, and we pick up from a pasture gate as readily as from a shop.

For a ranch truck, send us directions past the cattle guard and whether a trailer is coupled to it. One farm-supply carrier also appears in FMCSA’s carrier census for Combine, so if yours was registered under a ranch business, have the business name that sits on the title.

• My dump truck still sits at Beltline Pit outside Combine; must it come home first?Beltline Pit, at 6.5 miles north-west, and Post Oak No 1, at 8.1 miles west, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from sites like those. Give us the gate, the site contact and the spot where the truck is parked.
• Which Kaufman office reissues a Texas title for a Combine truck?Combine’s county tax assessor-collector office, per the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, is the Kaufman County Tax Office at 100 N. Washington St., Kaufman, 75142, 12.1 miles away according to that same Texas Department of Motor Vehicles list. Start the replacement there and tell us when it is on order.
• My day cab hauled boxes from the Wilmer ramp; what goes in the first message?Dallas Intermodal Terminal, the Wilmer ramp the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists 10.4 miles west, is close enough that we collect from yards near it, so tell us whether a chassis or trailer is included. Have the title, registration, VIN and odometer reading to hand.
