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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 8,089 active carriers based in Dallas, and 5,584 of them declare general freight. Whether yours pulled dry vans across the state or ran a single box truck around town, have the title and current registration in your name before we schedule pickup.

Paper products appear on 818 Dallas carrier registrations, household goods on 809 and metal sheets, coils and rolls on 790, according to the same FMCSA carrier census. A moving van, a flatbed set up for coil, or a tractor that hauled paper rolls are all trucks we purchase; tell us the body or trailer type up front so we bring the right equipment.

In Dallas, 774 carriers took out new registrations in 2025 and 599 in 2024, by FMCSA’s census figures. If your authority is recent and you are winding down, keep the USDOT number handy so we can match the truck to the registration on file.

Of the Dallas carriers in the federal census, 5,341 operate intrastate only, 2,706 run interstate and 1,631 are private fleets hauling their own goods. For a truck that never left Texas, the Texas title and registration are the papers that matter; an interstate unit may also carry apportioned plates, so include the cab card.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 27,620 across Dallas carriers, while 26,416 go beyond that radius, per FMCSA. A local truck is usually parked at a yard or a home at night, so give us that address and a time the gate is open.

FMCSA mileage reports from 1,761 Dallas carriers put the typical truck at 37,000 miles a year. Write down the current odometer reading and photograph the dash; that one figure answers several of our first questions.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 11,920 Dallas-based trucks, with a median model year of 2020. Whatever year yours is, send the VIN with your photos so we can read the exact build from it.

In those same FMCSA roadside inspections, 27.1% of the Dallas trucks checked were ten or more model years old. Older or newer, the steps are the same: title, registration, any service records you kept, and photos of the cab, frame and tires.

The three biggest Dallas fleets in the FMCSA census run 2,937, 2,200 and 1,763 power units. If you are selling several units at once, a list of VINs and where each one sits lets us plan the collections together.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Mesquite intermodal ramp 6.6 miles east of Dallas and the Dallas Intermodal Terminal at Wilmer 13 miles south. A day cab that dray-hauled containers off either ramp can be collected from a drop yard near the terminal; tell us which lot it is on and who holds the key.

Two rail yards, Cadiz and C J, sit 2.6 miles south-west of the city on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked near the tracks there, mention any access gate or restricted road so the pickup driver can reach it.

On the west side, the Energy Information Administration lists the Par Truck Rack petroleum terminal 2.4 miles out and the Dallas Blending Terminal at 6.9 miles. Tank trucks and tractors that loaded at those racks are welcome; tell us the trailer was emptied and cleaned, and have the tank inspection paperwork if you still hold it.

Dallas County has 2,030 construction establishments and 104 warehousing establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, mixers and roll-off units often sit on a job site rather than at home, so give us the site address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 983,579 jobs in Dallas in 2023: 53,744 in transportation and warehousing, 51,746 in manufacturing, 49,793 in wholesale trade and 36,878 in construction. Straight trucks used for local delivery count too; photos of the box or body, inside and out, help us see what you have.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 647 farms in Dallas County, with cattle, corn and horses at the top. A stock hauler or grain truck parked on a farm outside town is no problem to reach; send a map pin if the driveway is hard to find.

The National Bridge Inventory lists 1,551 bridges in Dallas, with 30 load-posted and 8 under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the route out from where the truck is parked, so the pickup avoids a posted span.

According to the National Bridge Inventory, the lowest Dallas structure carries East Kiest Boulevard over the Lancaster Kiest shopping center entrance at 11 feet 1 inch. If your truck is parked near Kiest and Lancaster, mention it and we will plan a route around that crossing.

• My tractor sits in a drop yard by the Wilmer intermodal terminal; does it have to come into Dallas first?It can stay where it is: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Dallas Intermodal Terminal at Wilmer 13 miles south of the city, and we collect from yards out there. Tell us the yard and who can let our driver in.
• I lost the title to a truck registered in Dallas. Who replaces it?A replacement Texas title comes from the state’s title agency, which issues certified copies to the owner of record. Start that request before pickup and tell us it is under way.
• My dump truck is still parked on a Dallas County job site; is pickup from there possible?Pickup from the site works fine. With 2,030 construction establishments in Dallas County on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, plenty of trucks are sold straight from a site. Send the address and the gate contact.
