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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 879 active carriers based in Plano, and 609 of them declare general freight as cargo. If your tractor or straight truck has spent its years on general freight around Collin County, have the title and current registration in one place before you call, and we can work from the VIN onward.

Household goods come second on that same federal census, with 129 Plano carriers, followed by 94 hauling paper products and 92 moving motor vehicles. A moving van, a car hauler or a dry van that carried paper all fit what we purchase; tell us the body type and the trailer it worked with when you first get in touch.

Of those Plano carriers, FMCSA records 520 as intrastate operators, 354 as interstate and 198 as private fleets running their own freight. A private fleet selling one unit or several should gather the title for each truck and name a contact at the yard who can let us in on collection day.

Two Carrollton rail yards sit 10.8 and 11.3 miles south-west of Plano in the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab parked near either yard can stay there; give us the street address and the hours the lot is open.

East of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Wylie rail intermodal ramp 13.9 miles out, with the Dallas-Mesquite ramp 19.4 miles south. Container tractors that drayed boxes off those ramps are trucks we buy, and photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel let us see the tractor before we arrange pickup.

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Irving, 18.2 miles south-west of Plano, and another at Southlake, 18.6 miles west. If your tractor pulled fuel trailers out of either terminal, keep its inspection and service records with the title so the file shows where it worked.

Heniff Trasportation’s liquid bulk terminal, 18.4 miles south-west, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A tanker tractor based near that site does not need to come into Plano; tell us whose property it sits on so collection can be arranged with them.

Across 3,109 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2021 for Plano-based units, with 17.9 percent ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year, make and VIN are the first three things we ask for.

Mileage filed with FMCSA by 171 Plano carriers puts the median at 43,000 miles per truck. FMCSA’s census also counts 1,606 Plano drivers working within 100 miles and 4,598 going beyond that radius. A long-haul sleeper may be parked out of state when you sell it; give us its location and we plan around it.

The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA here run 1,763, 240 and 150 power units. Selling several trucks at once works the same way as selling one: a title for each, a list of VINs and the address where each unit sits.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 510 construction establishments in the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 7,673 Plano jobs in construction in 2023. Dump trucks and flatbeds from those sites are welcome; send photos of the bed and the cab alongside the registration.

Denton Sand Farm, a sand and gravel operation 19.9 miles north-west, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauled from that pit can be collected where it is parked, as long as someone can give us access.

Collin County had 2,330 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, wheat and corn at the top. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm outside town can stay in the shed; the title in the owner’s name and a gate contact are what we need.

Plano had 270,746 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures, including 14,160 in manufacturing and 12,431 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and tractors serving those employers often carry a lienholder on the title; if yours does, have the lender’s details ready so the release can be handled.

If the title has been lost, the state’s title agency is the office that issues a replacement, and the request goes in under the name shown on the registration. Start that early and keep the receipt, along with any service records and recent photos of the truck.

• My tractor is parked by the Wylie intermodal ramp. Do I have to move it to Plano?The tractor can stay put: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Wylie ramp 13.9 miles east of Plano, and we collect the tractor where it sits. Tell us who controls the lot so access can be arranged.
• Our Plano private fleet has several units to sell. Can they go together?They can. FMCSA counts 198 private fleets among Plano carriers, and a seller with several units sends a VIN and title for each truck plus the address where each one is kept.
• My dump truck still sits at Denton Sand Farm. Will you collect it from the pit?Collection at the pit is fine, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Denton Sand Farm 19.9 miles north-west of Plano; give us a site contact and the truck’s location within the operation.
