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

General freight is marked by 113 of the 205 active Paris carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor has spent its years on dry-van or flatbed general freight runs out of Lamar County, send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and a shot of the odometer, and we can start from there.

Machinery and large objects appear on 58 carrier registrations in the federal carrier census, farm supplies on 40 and grain, feed and hay on 38. Lowboys, step decks, hopper trailers and the tractors that pull them all fit what we purchase, so tell us which trailer the truck was coupled to and whether it comes with the sale.

New Paris registrations, per FMCSA’s carrier census, numbered 13 in 2024 and 14 in 2025. If you started an authority in one of those years and are now winding it down, have the title, the cab card and any lease paperwork together before we talk, since those decide who signs.

Of the Paris carriers on FMCSA’s census, 106 run interstate and 97 stay intrastate, and 124 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often has its maintenance file kept by the company shop; ask for a copy before the truck leaves your hands.

Driver counts in that same FMCSA census put 338 drivers working within 100 miles and 504 beyond it. A truck that runs long lanes may be sitting at a terminal or a customer yard elsewhere when you decide to sell; give us that address and we arrange collection there instead of in Paris.

Paris trucks log a median 16,905 miles a year across the 64 local carriers whose mileage FMCSA’s census holds. Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with the engine model, so the questions we ask back are short ones.

The three biggest Paris fleets in the FMCSA carrier census list 211, 102 and 63 power units, with 157, 79 and 31 drivers respectively. A fleet manager retiring several units at once can send one spreadsheet of VINs and unit numbers, and we work through it truck by truck.

A single owner-operator selling one tractor follows the same steps as those fleets. Have the title in your name, the current registration, and photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires.

A 2019 median model year comes out of 283 Paris-registered trucks pulled over for roadside inspection, per FMCSA records spanning August 2024 to August 2026. Note the model year and engine on the title against the truck itself before you contact us, so the paperwork and the photos agree.

Just over a quarter of those Paris trucks, 27.2 percent on FMCSA’s roadside inspection records, carried a model year ten or more years back. Whatever the model year on your Paris title, list it with the make, model and engine in your first message, alongside photos of the cab and frame.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 16,088 jobs in Paris, 2,383 of them in manufacturing and 754 in construction. Dump trucks, flatbeds and roll-offs serving plants and job sites are often parked at a yard rather than at home, so tell us whose gate it is behind.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 88 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments here, while LEHD counts 280 wholesale trade jobs and 135 in transportation and warehousing. A truck owned through a contractor’s business needs the business name on the title to match the person signing, or a letter authorising them.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,865 farms in Lamar County, with cattle, corn and wheat as the leading products. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and feed tractors on those farms are welcome, and we collect from the farm lane or the barn lot where the truck sits.

The North American Rail Network shows the Paris rail yard 1.4 miles south of town. If your truck shuttles loads to and from that yard, the parking spot near the tracks is a fine place for us to meet it.

Camp Maxey, a National Guard installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits 9 miles north. For a truck parked out that way, send a pin or the nearest road crossing so the driver finds it on the first try.

Across 48 bridges in the area, the National Bridge Inventory lists one as load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Mention if the truck is on a lot reached only by a posted bridge, and we plan the trailer for the pickup around it.

• The grain truck sits on our Lamar County place near Paris; does it have to come off the farm first?Lamar County has 1,865 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from farms rather than asking owners to move the truck.
