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

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Southlake 2.2 miles north-east of Grapevine and a second, Southlake TX, 2.8 miles west. For a tractor that loads fuel at either gate, give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

South of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Kinder Morgan liquid bulk terminal at 8.6 miles and Carry Transit at 12.7 miles. A tractor that pulled tankers to those docks sells the same way as any other: have the title in your name, the current Texas registration, and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel ready before you get in touch.

Two rail yards on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, are close by: Trex Station 8.8 miles south-east and Carrollton 9.9 miles east. Drayage day cabs that shuttle boxes between those yards and Grapevine warehouses are trucks we buy; tell us which yard the truck usually sits at so collection can be planned there.

Further out, the Alliance, TX rail intermodal ramp appears 16.3 miles west in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the Grand Prairie Reserve Complex, a military installation, is 15.2 miles south-east by the same agency’s count. If your sleeper or day cab is staged near Alliance rather than at home, that is fine; send the location and we come to it.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 289 active carriers based in Grapevine, and 180 of them list general freight among the cargo they haul. The same FMCSA census counts another 42 carrying paper products, 41 moving machinery and large objects, and 37 hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls. Flatbeds and step-decks set up for coil and machinery are as welcome as dry-van tractors; photograph the trailer deck and securement points along with the tractor.

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 175 carriers here as intrastate only and 99 as interstate, with 72 hauling their own goods as private operations. Interstate units carry a USDOT number on the door; note it, and have the cab card handy, since both help us match the truck to its paperwork.

New authorities keep appearing: the FMCSA register counts 14 carriers that started in Grapevine during 2025 and 11 in 2024. A first-year operator selling a single tractor needs the same three things as a large fleet does, the title, the registration and the VIN.

Drivers working for Grapevine carriers split nearly evenly in FMCSA’s carrier census: 1,295 operate inside a 100-mile radius and 1,219 run beyond it. A local unit is usually back at the yard each night, while a long-haul sleeper may be out of state when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be parked, not just where you live.

Seventy-two Grapevine carriers report annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck covers 35,962 miles in a year; jot down your own odometer reading and the door-jamb VIN before you contact us.

The three biggest fleets here, by the federal carrier census, run 314, 119 and 100 power units with 412, 96 and 109 drivers. Fleet managers retiring several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard locations, and we will work through them together.

Across 600 trucks from Grapevine carriers inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020, with 20.7 percent ten or more model years old. Whatever year your truck is, give us the year, make and model first; it sets the questions that follow.

If the truck went through one of those roadside checks, keep the inspection report with the title. It is a federal record of the unit, and sending a copy alongside photos gives us a clear picture before pickup.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 196 bridges in and around Grapevine, none of them load-posted and just one under 14 feet. That one, structure 022200BB0985034, carries the N Service Rd over Ramp E-3S with 13 ft 10 in of clearance per the Federal Highway Administration’s inventory.

If your truck has a tall reefer, a sleeper with a raised roof or a trailer still attached, give us the overall height when you describe it. We route the collection with that figure in hand, and a truck parked off a service road near that ramp should be mentioned by its exact location.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 86,679 jobs in Grapevine for 2023, and 37,931 of them, 43.8 percent, are in transportation and warehousing. Construction holds 3,258 jobs, wholesale trade 2,281 and manufacturing 1,555 on the same LEHD tally. Box trucks, dump trucks and straight trucks from that work are trucks we buy, not only heavy tractors.

If a contractor’s dump truck or a warehouse’s yard tractor is titled to a business, have someone authorized to sign for that business available when we collect.

Tarrant County had 1,000 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and wheat as the leading types. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and grain trucks from those operations can be sold from the farm itself; tell us the gate and the road surface so the pickup goes smoothly.

• My tractor is parked at a Southlake fuel terminal; do I have to bring it into Grapevine before selling?You can leave it at the terminal. The Energy Information Administration places those terminals 2.2 and 2.8 miles from Grapevine, and we collect from the lot itself if its operator allows it.
• Is the low bridge on the N Service Rd a problem for picking up my truck?Not if we know your truck’s height. The National Bridge Inventory lists only one Grapevine-area bridge under 14 feet, carrying the N Service Rd over Ramp E-3S at 13 ft 10 in, so give us the overall height and we plan the route around it.
• My truck shuttles boxes to Trex Station or the Carrollton yard; can you pick it up at the rail yard?Yes, at whichever yard it sits. The North American Rail Network places Trex Station 8.8 miles south-east of Grapevine and Carrollton 9.9 miles east; send the yard name, the gate contact and the VIN, and we arrange the pickup there.
