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

The Energy Information Administration lists the Ennis Plant, a petroleum product terminal, 2.2 miles north of town, and the Frost terminal 23.5 miles south-west. If your tractor has pulled fuel loads between those two racks, tell us which terminals it loaded at and send photos of the tractor and any tanker it comes with.

Bristol Sand & Gravel lies 11.2 miles north-east and Ennis Sand & Gravel 11.9 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of sand and gravel operations. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that works those pits is usually parked at a yard out that way or at home in town, and we collect it from whichever spot you give us.

Further east, Patriot Mining and Materials, an industrial-mineral mine 17.1 miles out, appears in the same MSHA records. Haul units from a mine site can be picked up on site where access allows; give us the gate address and whoever we should call at the gate.

Twenty miles north, at 20.4 miles by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits the Dallas Intermodal Terminal at Wilmer, a rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs that dray boxes between that ramp and Ellis County warehouses are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a few photos of the cab and frame.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Hill rail yard 19.6 miles south-east of Ennis. A tractor based near either yard does not need to be driven into town, since we come to where it is parked.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 266 active carriers in Ennis, of which 63 operate interstate, 200 stay within Texas and 92 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever of those describes you, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the Texas title, current registration and any service records you keep.

Steel coil and sheet show up on 39 Ennis carrier filings in the FMCSA census, lumber and poles on 30, heavy machinery on 46, while general freight leads at 168. A flatbed or step-deck combination that hauled coil or lumber can be sold as a unit, with the trailer title alongside the tractor’s.

New authorities keep appearing on the federal register here: 27 Ennis carriers were added in 2024 and 19 in 2025, according to FMCSA. Owners who started recently and are now selling their first truck should have the title, any lien release from the lender, and the registration ready.

The three biggest Ennis fleets on file with FMCSA run 99, 39 and 25 power units, with 102, 26 and 20 drivers. If you are clearing several units from a yard of that size, send us a list of VINs and where each one is parked, and we will work through them together.

Ennis trucks log a median 29,286 miles a year, a figure FMCSA draws from the 82 local carriers that file mileage. Have a current odometer photo for every truck you send us, so the figure we work from is the one on the dash.

Driver records in the FMCSA census split almost evenly here, with 1,347 drivers working within 100 miles and 1,343 going beyond it. A sleeper that spends weeks out on the road can be collected wherever it next comes to rest in Ellis County.

Ennis-based trucks stopped at the roadside numbered 249 from August 2024 to August 2026 in FMCSA roadside inspection records; their median model year is 2015, and 57.4 percent were built ten or more years earlier. Bring the inspection reports you have; they belong with the truck’s file whatever its model year.

Of the 79 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around Ennis, one is load-posted and none is under 14 feet. Tell us the route into your yard so the collection truck uses roads it can take.

Manufacturing accounts for 3,466 of the 10,955 jobs counted in Ennis in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a 31.6 percent share, while wholesale trade adds 578, construction 559 and transportation and warehousing 369. Box trucks and tractors that shuttle parts between those plants are trucks we take, with or without the trailer.

Ennis has 87 construction firms and just 6 warehousing firms on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns rolls. Contractors selling a dump, mixer or flatbed should have the title in the business name that appears on the registration.

Out in the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,563 farms in Ellis County, with cattle, corn and wheat at the top. Grain and livestock trucks parked on a farm can be collected from the farm itself; if a Texas title has gone missing, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles a certified copy.
