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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 1159 Academy, a sand and gravel operation 6.6 miles north of Holland, and Hilliard Dozer, LP, another gravel site 7.8 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or end-dump tractor working between those two Holland-area pits is one we will collect. If yours is parked at a pit gate rather than in a Holland yard, give us that location and we come to it.

Before we come out, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the VIN from the door jamb. A gravel truck that sits at a working pit can be hard to reach on a weekday, so tell us who holds the gate key and which hours the site is open.

West of Holland, Salado Plant is a crushed-stone quarry 12.2 miles out and Morgan Pit is a dimension-stone quarry 15.2 miles away, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. The Mine Safety and Health Administration also puts Adams Ranch, a dimension-stone quarry, 9.1 miles north-west, and Miller Springs Materials 14.8 miles north. Rock trucks, lowboys that move quarry loaders, and flatbeds hauling cut stone all fit what we take.

If your tractor has pulled a lowboy between these quarries, list the trailer separately from the tractor and send a photo of each data plate. Two VINs on one message saves a second round of questions once we reach the site.

Holland has 42 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census; 37 keep to Texas roads and just 5 are registered to haul interstate. On that census, grain, feed and hay is the cargo listed by 14 of those carriers, general freight by 13, machinery and large objects by 11, and farm supplies by 10. A grain hopper, a hay flatbed or a machinery trailer from one of these outfits is a truck we will look at.

Fourteen of the Holland carriers on the federal census are private fleets hauling their own goods, such as a farm moving its own feed. For an owner-operated rig like that, the title in your name and a current Texas registration are the two papers to find first.

Fleets here are small by the census figures: the biggest lists 7 power units and 12 drivers, and the next two list 4 power units each. If you are selling one truck out of a handful, tell us which unit it is and where it parks between jobs.

Of the drivers counted by FMCSA’s carrier census for Holland carriers, 43 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 34 go farther. Across 9 carriers that reported mileage to the same census, the median truck covers 35,000 miles a year. Send the current odometer reading with your photos so the figure is on file from the start.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 312 jobs in Holland in 2023, and County Business Patterns lists 7 construction establishments for the area. A dump truck or flatbed that a small contractor keeps at a house in town can be collected from the driveway; just say whether a tow truck can turn around there.

Around Holland, Bell County holds 2,330 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and wheat listed as the top products. Grain trucks used at harvest, cattle pots and stock trailers are part of what we buy, including ones that sit in a barn for most of the year.

If the farm truck is on a field road, tell us whether it can be reached after rain and send a photo showing the approach. Have the title and any service records together, and check that the name on the title, whether a person or a farm partnership, matches whoever signs.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Holland that is the Bell County Tax Office at 550 East 2nd Avenue in Belton, about 12.4 miles from town per the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. If your title is missing, that office is where a certified copy is requested before the sale.

Bring your photo ID and the VIN when you go to Belton. If a lender is still listed on the title, ask the lender for a release letter at the same time, so the paperwork is complete when we arrive to collect the truck.

Up the line from Holland, the KNOWD rail yard sits 13.1 miles north and the TEMPLE yard 14.8 miles north, as mapped in the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that drop or pick up freight near those yards can be collected where they stand, as long as we know the gate and the contact on site.

Send the yard address, a photo of the truck in place and a phone number for whoever can let us in. With those three things we can plan the pickup without another call.
