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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration places BYK USA LLC Plants & Pits, an industrial-mineral mine, just 0.1 miles south-west of the Gonzales town centre. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled out of that plant is probably parked within sight of it, so give us the street address or the gate it sits behind and we will arrange collection there.

North of town, Rockpit is a crushed-stone quarry 8.3 miles out, and Lindeman Pit, a sand and gravel operation, lies 9 miles to the west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your truck has worked those pits, send photos of the bed, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN, and tell us which pit it served.

Further out, Balcones Pit & Plant is an industrial-mineral mine 22.3 miles north-east, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck based out there does not need to come into Gonzales first; we can collect from the plant side once you name a contact who can let us through.

Feed and hay hauling shows up all over the Gonzales register: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 39 of the town’s 128 active carriers under grain, feed and hay, with 35 listing farm supplies. Those are the cattle trailers’ partners: the straight trucks and tractors that move feed to the ranches and hay between pastures.

A farm truck often lives on the ranch rather than in town, and that is where we pick it up. Have the title in the name on the registration, and if the truck is held by the ranch as a business, have whoever signs for that business ready on the day.

Cattle, corn and deer top the farm list in the 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA for this county. If the truck has hauled livestock or grain under a farm plate, say so, and keep any service records together with the title so they travel with the truck.

General freight is the cargo most carriers here list, with 72 carriers named under it in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 39 carry machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor, a flatbed or a day cab from either kind of work is a truck we buy.

Most of these outfits stay inside Texas: the federal carrier census counts 112 intrastate carriers against 16 interstate ones, and 51 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the parent business, so check whose name is on the title before you call.

FMCSA’s registrations put 276 drivers within 100 miles of home base and 292 working beyond that radius. Where your driver ends the week matters to us: tell us where the truck will sit when you are ready to sell, even if that is out of town.

Three fleets based in Gonzales run 51, 46 and 40 power units, by the counts in FMCSA’s carrier census, with one of them employing 111 drivers. Selling several trucks at once from a yard like that works the same as selling one: list the VINs and the yard address and we plan around them.

New entrants keep arriving, with the carrier census showing 10 new carriers registered in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still financed, have the lender’s name and the payoff contact on hand so the title can be cleared at sale.

Between September 2024 and August 2026, 123 Gonzales-based trucks went through roadside checks, and FMCSA’s inspection records give 2018 as their median model year. Of that Gonzales group, 38.21 percent carried a model year ten or more years back, in the same FMCSA roadside inspection records.

A Gonzales truck runs a median 32,000 miles a year, going by the 41 local carriers whose mileage appears in FMCSA’s carrier census. Whatever the odometer reads, send a clear photo of it along with the VIN plate; those two images answer most of our first questions.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 3,774 jobs in Gonzales, of which 250 are in manufacturing, 213 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, and 199 in wholesale trade. A truck that has serviced a plant floor or a wholesale dock can be collected from the business lot where it is parked.

Those same 2023 LEHD figures put 109 jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting and 99 in transportation and warehousing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau adds 19 construction establishments; a dump truck or flatbed from one of those contractors should come with its registration and the name of whoever can sign the title.

The GONZALES rail yard on the North American Rail Network sits half a mile south-west of town, per the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked near the yard, tell us which side of the tracks so the pickup driver finds it first time.

• My truck sits at a pit north of Gonzales. Does it have to be hauled to Gonzales first?Rockpit lies 8.3 miles north of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from sites like it. Give us the pit name, the gate and a contact who can let us in.
• Do you buy farm trucks that haul feed and hay?Grain, feed and hay is listed by 39 Gonzales carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those trucks are ones we buy. A ranch truck can be collected at the ranch once you send its VIN, a few photos and whose name is on the Gonzales County title.
• The truck belongs to my private fleet, not a for-hire carrier. Can a Gonzales private fleet sell to you?Private fleets account for 51 of the carriers registered in Gonzales under FMCSA’s carrier census, and we buy from them too. Check the title is in the business’s name and have the person who signs for it available.
• What do you need first for a truck in Gonzales County?For a Gonzales truck, start with the VIN, a photo of the odometer, and the address where it is parked, whether that is in town, at a ranch in Gonzales County or by one of the pits. After that, the Texas title and the current registration complete the picture.
