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

Of the 120 active carriers that call Hillsboro home, 93 keep their loads inside Texas and 26 cross state lines, FMCSA’s carrier census shows. A Texas-only operation usually means the truck sleeps at a home yard or a farm in Hill County, so give us that address and we plan the pickup around it.

Of those operators, 49 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same federal carrier census. If your truck belongs to a business rather than a for-hire outfit, have the name on the title match the company selling it, or bring the paperwork that shows who can sign for it.

New registrations stay modest: the carrier census from FMCSA shows six new carriers here in 2025 and two in 2024. A recently started operator selling a first truck should have the title, the current registration and any loan payoff letter in hand before calling us.

General freight leads the cargo list at 54 Hillsboro carriers, with grain, feed and hay at 33 and farm supplies at 31, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A hopper-bottom tractor or a feed truck that spent harvest moving loads off county farms is exactly the kind of equipment we take, so tell us which trailer it pulled.

Another 29 local carriers haul machinery and large objects, as FMCSA registrations show. Lowboy and step-deck rigs from that work often sit at an equipment yard rather than a house; let us know the gate hours and who holds the key.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,011 farms in Hill County, with corn, cattle and wheat at the top. A farm truck parked in a barn lot down a county road is fine with us, as long as you send directions and a photo of the approach.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Aquilla sand and gravel operation 12.5 miles south-west of Hillsboro and the Whitney pit 18.7 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks working those sites tend to stay parked near the pit between jobs, and we can collect from there if the operator allows access.

West of town, MSHA records place the Clifton Plant crushed-stone quarry at 19.5 miles and the Blum dimension-stone quarry at 20.5 miles, with the Greenwade quarry 18.5 miles to the south-west. For a truck that hauled rock from any of them, send photos of the bed, the frame and the tires along with the cab, and list the axle setup.

On the east side, the Energy Information Administration places the FROST petroleum product terminal 13.7 miles from Hillsboro. A tractor that pulled fuel tankers out of there should come with its registration and any inspection paperwork you kept, since that history tells us the routes it ran.

Manufacturing accounts for 1,141 of the 4,075 jobs located in Hillsboro in 2023, 28 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and tractors attached to plant shipping docks are common sellers, and if yours is parked inside a fenced plant lot, line up who can let us in.

Construction holds 162 local jobs and wholesale trade 126 in that same LEHD release, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 31 construction establishments. A contractor selling a dump truck or a flatbed should have the title and the registration together, plus a list of any bodies or attachments that stay with the truck.

The operators based here range widely in size: FMCSA’s carrier census shows one fleet with 638 power units and 571 drivers, another with 60 trucks and 53 drivers, and a third with 13 units and 10 drivers. Whether you are selling a single tractor or several from a yard, tell us the count and where each one is parked.

Among 31 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 40,000 miles a year in FMCSA filings. The same carrier census records 411 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 673 going farther, so have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you first contact us.

When FMCSA inspectors stopped 164 Hillsboro-based trucks at the roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, the median model year was 2018 and 43.9 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the title, registration and service records are the three documents that make the sale straightforward.

Start with the title in the seller’s name. If it has been lost, request a replacement from the state’s title agency before the sale, and tell us at the outset so we can work around the wait.

Next, gather what shows how the truck was used around Hillsboro: farm hauling, quarry runs, plant deliveries. Clear photos of all four sides, the dash and the VIN plate let us ask the right questions without a trip out first.

• The dump truck sits at the Aquilla sand pit south-west of town; does it have to come into Hillsboro first?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Aquilla sand and gravel operation about 12.5 miles south-west of town, and we collect trucks right there. Get the pit operator’s permission for access and send us the gate location.
• Will you take a hopper tractor that hauled corn and wheat off Hill County farms?Grain, feed and hay is the cargo for 33 Hillsboro carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those tractors and hoppers are trucks we buy. Have the title and registration ready, and tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale.
• I run a small Texas-only operation. Can you still buy my truck?Hillsboro has 93 intrastate carriers out of 120 in FMCSA’s carrier census, so a truck that never left Texas is the usual case here. Give us the address of the Hill County yard where it sits and a contact who can show it.
