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

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and the one serving Marfa is the Presidio County Tax Office at 301 N Highland Avenue, about 0.3 miles from the centre of town. If the title to your tractor or trailer has gone missing, that office on Highland is where a replacement starts, and you can walk there.

Bring the title in your name if you have it, along with the current registration. A truck still carrying a loan needs the lienholder’s release before the sale, so ask your lender for that letter early and keep it with the other papers we will sign.

Nineteen active carriers give a Marfa address in FMCSA’s carrier census. In that same federal census, 8 run interstate authority, 11 stay inside Texas, and 4 are private fleets moving their own goods rather than freight for hire. Tell us which of those your truck belongs to, along with the registration and authority papers it carries.

General freight is the cargo most of these outfits list: 12 of the 19 name it in the federal census. The FMCSA filings show smaller groups naming machinery and large objects (4), grain, feed and hay (3), and metal sheets, coils and rolls (3). A tractor that has pulled a step deck with coils or a hay trailer out of Marfa is the kind of unit we collect, so tell us what it pulled and send photos of the deck or fifth wheel with the cab.

New registrations are few: the FMCSA census shows four carriers starting up here in 2024 and one in 2025. A young operation selling its first truck needs the same things as a long-standing one, namely the title, the registration and the USDOT number the truck ran under.

The biggest Marfa-based fleet in the federal carrier census runs 20 power units with 18 drivers; the next two run six trucks with three drivers and three trucks with two. Selling one unit from a fleet of twenty or your only rig works the same way: one VIN, one title, one pickup.

For a fleet letting go of several tractors at once, send a list of VINs and where each one is parked. Unit numbers on the doors help us match photos to papers when the trucks all look alike.

A median of 77,916 miles per truck a year shows up for the six Marfa carriers that report mileage to FMCSA. Of the drivers on Marfa carriers’ rolls, the census puts 24 inside a hundred-mile radius of home and 16 working further out, so roughly three in five stay regional.

That means your truck could be at a yard on the edge of town, at a ranch gate in Presidio County, or several hours away at the end of a run. Send us the address where it sits and say whether a tow truck can reach it. The pickup happens wherever the truck is parked.

Have the odometer reading and any service records in the cab when we arrive. Mileage is a plain figure we write on the bill of sale, nothing more.

Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 230 of the 1,034 jobs located in Marfa, a 22.2 percent share according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Across Presidio County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 147 farms, with goats and equine operations at the top of the list.

Livestock trailers, feed haulers and the hay tractors in the cargo figures above all belong to that ranch economy. If your truck has spent its working life hauling animals or feed between pastures, it qualifies; photograph the trailer hitch, the tires and the cab, and include the trailer’s own title if it comes with the sale.

When the truck carries a mounted body, such as a dump bed, a crane or a tool box, mention it and photograph it from both sides. If the body was added after the chassis was built, any paperwork from the upfitter belongs with the title.

• Do you take the trailer along with the tractor?Marfa carriers in the federal census haul coils, machinery, hay and general freight, and we can buy the trailer with the tractor. Each one needs its own title in your name.
