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

Clifton Plant, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 13.9 miles east of Meridian, and Greenwade, another crushed-stone site at 15 miles in the same direction, sit within a short drive of town. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has hauled aggregate out of either one, it may be parked at the pit or at a yard on the Clifton side when we come for it, so send us that address rather than your home one.

Mitchell Bend, 16.6 miles north, and Blum Quarry, 18.2 miles to the north-east, are dimension-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Flatbeds that carry cut block from sites like those are on our list. Photograph the deck, the headache rack and the cab, and keep the registration receipt in the glovebox so the driver who loads it can match it to the VIN.

Kimball Bend Plant 1202 is a sand and gravel operation 15.2 miles north-east of town, and the WHITNEY pit, also sand and gravel, lies 18.3 miles east, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A belly-dump or tandem that runs between those pits and Meridian job sites is the kind of unit we collect from wherever it was last used.

Tell us whether the truck sits on a gravel pad or a paved lot, and whether a lowboy can reach it without moving other equipment. That one detail about the Kimball Bend or Whitney yard lets us send the right rig the first time.

Ranches around Meridian are part of the 1,384 farms USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Bosque County, with cattle, equine and deer as the leading kinds of operation there. Stock trailers, gooseneck haulers and the pickups and tractors that pull them out to pasture are all trucks we will look at; send the title and a clear shot of the hitch with your photos.

Five Meridian-based carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census list grain, feed and hay as cargo, and nine list farm supplies. If your truck delivers feed to ranches west of the Bosque, it is likely to be at a barn or feed store on pickup day, so give us the gate code or the name of whoever opens up.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 26 active carriers based in Meridian; ten of them list machinery and large objects as cargo, and nine list general freight. Lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them are welcome, as are box trucks used for general loads.

None of these operations is big: per the same FMCSA census, the largest runs five power units with three drivers, the next four units with two. A one- or two-truck owner can sell a single tractor to us just as a fleet would, with the title in your name or your company’s and the cab card at hand.

FMCSA records one new carrier registered in Meridian in 2025 and none in 2024. If you started hauling recently and are now selling, bring the registration and any lien release from the lender so the title can change hands cleanly.

Of the Meridian carriers in the federal carrier census, 19 run intrastate and seven are authorized interstate, while 16 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A ranch or contractor truck carrying the owner’s own freight sells the same way a for-hire unit does; we only need the title, the registration and the VIN.

Among the eleven Meridian carriers filing mileage with FMCSA, a typical truck covers 36,000 miles a year at the median. On FMCSA filings, 21 carriers here say their drivers stay within a local radius and 24 list drivers who go farther out. Tell us which kind of work your truck did, local yard runs or longer hauls, and where it parks between loads.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues certified copies of titles, and its applications are taken at county tax assessor-collector offices. For a truck registered here, that means the Bosque County tax assessor-collector, so start there if the original has gone missing.

Send us the VIN while the copy is on order; we can arrange the pickup around the date the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles returns it, and the release of any lien recorded on it should travel with the truck.

Around the courthouse and on the ranch roads leading out of town, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts tally 402 positions for Meridian in 2023. Service trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that support that work around the courthouse square and out on the county roads are all trucks we buy.

Whatever the truck did in town, have the title, the current registration and any service records together, plus photos of all four sides and the dash with the odometer showing. That set answers most of our questions before the call.

• My end-dump is parked out at the Greenwade pit east of town; do you go out there?Clifton Plant and Greenwade sit 13.9 and 15 miles east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pits and yards like those. Give us the site address and who can let our driver in.
• I misplaced the title to my Bosque County flatbed; who issues a copy?The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles title copies through county tax assessor-collector offices, so the Bosque County office is the place to apply. Send us the VIN while you wait for it.
• Do you buy livestock and feed haulers?Cattle, equine and deer lead Bosque County’s farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and five Meridian carriers on FMCSA’s census haul grain, feed and hay. Stock and feed trucks from that work are ones we buy.
• Is a truck that never crossed the Texas line a problem to sell?Nineteen of Meridian’s 26 carriers in FMCSA’s census run intrastate, so in-state trucks are common here. We need the title, registration and VIN either way.
