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

Murphy is a Collin County town of 21,188 residents, by the Census Bureau’s population figure, with the Wylie rail yard a few miles east and the Dallas intermodal ramps to the south. Tractors and box trucks based here haul general freight, beverages and refrigerated food across North Texas and well beyond it.

Rail east and south

Wylie and Dallas rail ramps east and south of Murphy

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Wylie, TX rail intermodal ramp 5.8 miles east of Murphy, and the North American Rail Network shows the WYLIE rail yard at 6.1 miles in the same direction. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those two points is often parked close to Wylie rather than at a house in Murphy, so give us the yard address and a gate contact when you get in touch.

Heading south, the DALLAS IMF rail yard sits 11.6 miles out according to the North American Rail Network, and the Mesquite ramp listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics is 16.4 miles away. If your tractor drops containers at Mesquite, have the VIN, the registration and the Texas title together before we schedule the collection; those three documents settle most of our questions.

Tank work toward Irving and the south-west

South-west of town, the Energy Information Administration lists the PAR TRUCK RACK petroleum product terminal at 19.6 miles and the IRVING terminal at 22.5 miles. Trucks loading fuel at those racks usually carry site entry records and tank inspection paperwork; send copies of whatever you hold along with photos of the tractor and the trailer coupling.

Heniff Trasportation, a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 21.6 miles south-west, rounds out that corridor. If you pulled a tanker there and the tractor now sits on a terminal lot, tell us whose property it is on so the pickup can be arranged with the people who control access.

Sixty-two active carriers and the freight they list

Of the 62 Murphy-based carriers active on FMCSA’s census, general freight appears on the filings of 52. Twenty each name beverages, refrigerated food and meat, so a reefer unit with its own service log is as likely here as a dry van tractor; keep the reefer service records with the truck’s own paperwork.

Of those 62 carriers, 42 hold interstate authority and 20 operate intrastate only, with 5 running private fleets, per the same FMCSA census. New registrations went from 6 in 2024 to 7 in 2025 on the federal carrier census. If you are winding down an authority you opened recently, keep your USDOT number handy when you contact us so we can match it to the vehicle.

Small fleets that range far from Collin County

At the top end, one Murphy operation on FMCSA’s census fields 21 power units and 80 drivers, while two others hold 10 power units apiece with 15 and 5 drivers. An owner selling several units from a fleet that size can send one list of VINs and unit locations instead of contacting us truck by truck.

Drivers working beyond 100 miles number 129 against 63 working within that radius, according to FMCSA’s carrier filings. Among 16 carriers reporting it, FMCSA records a median of 70,557 miles per truck a year. A long-haul tractor may be parked at a terminal in another state when you decide to sell it; tell us where it is, and we collect it there rather than asking you to bring it home to Murphy.

A 2019 median among Murphy-registered tractors

Seventy-three Murphy carrier trucks came through FMCSA roadside inspection checks across the two years ending August 2026, and half of them were built in 2019 or later, per those inspection records. Those FMCSA inspection records also show roughly 32.9 percent of the inspected trucks at ten or more model years old.

Whatever the model year, the photos that help us most are the cab interior, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and the data plate. Add the odometer reading and the latest inspection report if you have it, and we can review the truck from those alone.

Construction, farms and the roads around Murphy

LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 4,116 jobs in Murphy for 2023, with 99 of them in construction. County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, lists 33 construction establishments locally. Dump trucks and flatbeds from that work are often kept at a contractor’s yard, so name the yard when you write to us.

Across Collin County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,330 farms, with cattle, wheat and corn as the leading products. The National Bridge Inventory lists 6 bridges in Murphy, none load posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on a county farm can be collected from the property; tell us the gate and the road it sits on.

The questions we get asked in Murphy

  • My tractor runs out of the Wylie intermodal ramp. Do I have to haul it home to Murphy before you take it?The Wylie ramp is 5.8 miles east of Murphy on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we can collect the tractor from the ramp area or wherever it is parked. Pass along the ramp-side parking spot and whoever holds the gate code there.
  • I haul refrigerated food. Is a reefer unit something you buy?Twenty Murphy carriers on FMCSA’s census list refrigerated food, and reefer tractors and straight trucks are part of what we buy. Send the reefer unit’s make, hours and service records with the truck’s VIN.
  • I run a fleet of about ten trucks. Will you take the whole group of Murphy units in one sale?Two of the three largest fleets on FMCSA’s census for Murphy run 10 power units each, and selling a group works the same way as one truck. Send us a list of VINs with where each unit is parked, and we plan the collections together.
  • Which documents does a Murphy owner gather before the collection?Murphy sits in Collin County, and for a truck registered there the title in the owner’s name is the main document we need, along with the registration. Add any inspection or service records you have and clear photos of the truck.
