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

Of the 40 active carriers based in Hemphill on FMCSA’s carrier census, 17 list logs, poles, beams or lumber as cargo they carry. If you run a log truck or a knuckleboom rig out of town, tell us the trailer type and whether the loader stays with the tractor, since that shapes how we plan the collection.

General freight shows up on 19 of those Hemphill registrations, according to the same federal census, so the timber outfits sit beside van and flatbed operators. A truck parked at a woods landing or behind a mill gate can be collected where it sits; send the gate contact and a pin for the spot along with the VIN.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Quarry #2, a crushed-stone operation, 6.2 miles north of Hemphill. Dump trucks and end-dumps that have worked the pit can be picked up at the quarry yard if the operator allows it, so ask them first and pass us the name of whoever opens the gate.

Ten Hemphill carriers on FMCSA’s census haul machinery or large objects, the kind of lowboy work that moves loaders and excavators to sites like the quarry. With a heavy-haul tractor, send photos of the fifth wheel, the door-jamb plate and the full length of the frame before we set a pickup date.

Titles in Texas run through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and its local counter here is the Sabine County Tax Office, one of the county tax assessor-collector offices, at the Courthouse Annex, 213 Market St., Hemphill, 75948. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles places that office 0.2 miles from the center of town, close enough to walk over and request a certified copy before you sell.

Bring the VIN, your driver’s license and the registration receipt when you go to the annex. If a lender’s name still sits on the title, get the lien release letter from them too and carry it to the Sabine County clerks with you.

FMCSA’s carrier census splits the town’s operators almost evenly: 19 Hemphill carriers are authorized for interstate work and 20 stay intrastate, while 24 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck sold out of a family business still needs the title in the seller’s name, so check whose name is printed on it before you call.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 33 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius of Hemphill and 43 who go beyond it. A truck that is out on a long run when you decide to sell can be collected once it is back on the yard; just tell us the date it returns.

A Hemphill truck covers a median 22,500 miles a year, FMCSA’s carrier census reports from the 13 local carriers that filed mileage. Have the odometer reading and the engine hours ready, since those two figures are the first questions we ask about any tractor from Sabine County.

The biggest fleet registered in Hemphill on the federal carrier census runs 8 power units with 8 drivers, and the next two run 6 and 5. Most sellers here are owner-operators or small yards, so one call usually reaches the person who holds the title and can sign it.

Hemphill gained 3 carriers in 2024 and another 4 in 2025, each newly registered on FMCSA’s carrier census. If you bought a truck to start one of those operations and are now stepping away from it, have your USDOT number handy so we can match the truck to the authority it ran under.

Ranches around Hemphill show up in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which counts 173 farms across Sabine County, with cattle, horses and hogs leading the list. Six local carriers on FMCSA’s census haul grain, feed or hay, so a feed truck or a tractor that pulls a stock trailer is familiar work for us to collect from a pasture gate.

Of the 1,102 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Hemphill for 2023, builders and site crews in construction hold 120, or 10.9 percent. Contractors’ dump trucks and flatbeds parked at a job site can be collected there; send a photo of the registration sticker and tell us whether the truck can be reached without moving equipment around it.

• Can you collect an end-dump sitting at the stone quarry instead of my driveway?Quarry #2 sits 6.2 miles north of Hemphill on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we can collect the truck from there. Clear it with the quarry operator and send us the name of the person who will meet us at the gate.
• Will you take a Hemphill log tractor along with its loader?Seventeen Hemphill carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, and their tractors are trucks we purchase. Say whether the knuckleboom and the pole trailer go with the tractor in this sale.
