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

Wills Point Lester Plant 1655, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 11.7 miles south-east of Poetry, is the closest working site to town. Dump trucks, end dumps and belly-dump tractors that load stone there are trucks we buy, and many of them park at a yard or a house back in Poetry between hauls.

If your dump truck runs between the Lester plant and job sites, have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab on hand when you call. Tell us whether the truck sits at the quarry, at home or at a contractor’s lot, so we know where the pickup happens.

Out the other way, Beltline Pit is a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 24.2 miles south-west of town. A tandem that splits its weeks between the two pits can be collected from either end; just give us the address where it is parked that week.

Thirteen-point-nine miles north of Poetry, the Energy Information Administration records SUNOCO CADDO LLC as a petroleum product terminal. Tank tractors and fuel trailers that pull loads from that rack to stations across the county are part of what we purchase.

For a tanker, gather the title, registration and any tank inspection or test records you kept, and photograph the tractor and the trailer separately. If you are selling only the tractor and keeping the trailer, say so at the start and we will plan around just the power unit.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Wylie, TX as a rail intermodal ramp 19.4 miles north-west of Poetry, and the North American Rail Network shows a Wylie rail yard at that same spot. Day cabs that drag chassis and boxes off that ramp often live in yards along the way, and we can meet the truck wherever it is parked.

West of town, a second ramp at Dallas, TX - Mesquite appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list at a 23.2-mile run from Poetry. If your tractor has worked both ramps, send the VIN, the odometer reading and a picture of the door sticker; those three answer most of what we would ask next.

Greenville carries its own rail yard, which the North American Rail Network (Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics) places 21.9 miles north-east of Poetry. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that serve shippers near that yard are welcome, whether the truck is at a Greenville lot or back home in Poetry.

Greenville is also where the county’s title work is done, so a seller heading up for any reason can check on paperwork on the same trip. Bring the truck’s VIN and your driver’s license so the counter can pull up the record.

In Texas, titles come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax assessor-collector offices; Poetry sellers use the Hunt County Tax Office at 2500 Stonewall St, ste. 101, Greenville, 75401, an office 22.6 miles away by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles listing. If the title for your truck has gone missing, that counter is where a certified copy is requested.

Getting that copy moving before a Poetry pickup is scheduled saves a second trip up to Greenville, so hang on to the counter’s receipt. A truck with a lienholder needs the lien release too, so ask the bank for it while the replacement is in process, and let us know which of the two papers you already hold.

Around Poetry, cattle, wheat and horses lead the farm list, and Hunt County counts 3,504 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the pickups and gooseneck tractors that pull horse trailers all fit what we buy.

A farm truck may carry farm plates or sit unregistered in a barn for part of the year; tell us which, and send the title along with photos taken outside in daylight. If the truck is in a pasture or behind a gate, describe how a tow truck gets to it so the collection goes where it needs to.

• My truck is parked on a county road outside Poetry - can it be collected there?Poetry’s trucks tend to sit in yards between the Lester quarry, the Caddo Mills fuel terminal and the Wylie ramp, and we collect from the address you give us, in town or out on a county road.
• Which Greenville counter replaces a Texas title for a Poetry truck?Hunt County’s tax office on Stonewall Street in Greenville handles it for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which lists that counter as a 22.6-mile drive from Poetry.
• My end dump hauls stone out of the Wills Point plant - is that a truck you take?Gravel and stone haulers from Wills Point Lester Plant 1655 and Beltline Pit, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are among the trucks we purchase; send the title and photos of the bed and hoist.
• Would you take the cattle trailer rig I use around Poetry?Cattle and wheat head the farm list for Hunt County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the trucks that move them, plus horse-trailer rigs, are ones we buy.
