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

Of the 43 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Post, only 2 hold interstate authority and the other 41 stay inside Texas. A tractor from one of those outfits has usually spent its life on Texas roads, so its Texas title and current registration are the two papers to find first.

Of those 43, the federal motor carrier census counts 24 as private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belonged to a farm, a ranch or a lease operator that ran its own loads, say who titled it, since the name on the title is the name that has to sign it over.

Three carriers in town run fleets of 21, 19 and 18 power units, with 25, 11 and 18 drivers respectively, according to FMCSA registration filings. Selling several units from a yard that size works best with a list of VINs and the spot where each one is parked.

General freight is the most common cargo on FMCSA’s census for Post, claimed by 18 carriers, while 13 list oilfield equipment, 12 grain, feed and hay, and 11 machinery and large objects. That mix points to flatbeds, lowboys, winch trucks and hopper-bottom rigs, and we look at all of them.

If your unit pulled oilfield equipment out to the leases, photograph the bed, the winch or gin poles and the tractor’s data plate along with the cab. A grain truck is easier to place if you send a shot of the trailer or box and tell us whether it goes with the tractor.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,448 jobs in Post, and 223 of them, a 15.4 percent share, are in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. A service truck or water hauler that worked those leases may be parked at a pad or a contractor’s yard instead of in town; give us the lease road or GPS pin so the driver can find it.

Construction holds 161 of those jobs, 11.1 percent, on the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 12 construction establishments in the county. Dump trucks and equipment trailers from those crews are on our list too; have the title and any service records together before you call.

Garza County has 251 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cotton, cattle and equine operations lead the list. Module trucks, cattle pots and stock trailers come off places like these, often parked in a barn lot down a caliche road.

When the truck sits on a ranch, tell us whether the gate is locked and who can open it on pickup day. A farm truck that was never titled in the name of the person selling it needs the state’s title agency to sort out first, so check the title before anything else.

On FMCSA’s census, Post carriers report 100 drivers working within 100 miles of home and 86 who run farther. Eight carriers reported mileage, and their median truck covered 11,708 miles a year by that same census; put the odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN.

Between October 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records caught 50 trucks from Post carriers, whose median model year was 2013 and of which 80 percent were a decade old or more. Whatever the model year, we buy it; tell us the year, make and model so we can match the truck to its paperwork.

Drive 22.8 miles north-west of Post and you reach the Slaton rail yard, as mapped on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttled loads to that yard can stay where it was last parked; tell us the town and the address and we will come to it.

Some 21.4 miles south-east of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Caprock Calcium mineral processing plant. If your truck hauled to that plant, mention it when you reach out and send any site or scale paperwork you kept, so the history of the truck travels with the photos.

• My truck sits out on a Garza County lease road. Must I haul it into Post?Oil and gas extraction accounts for 223 of the 1,448 jobs in Post on the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023, so plenty of trucks here sit at lease sites. We collect it where it is; send the lease road or a GPS pin and tell us who can let our driver in.
• My truck only ever had intrastate authority, so can it still be sold to you?Intrastate registration is the norm in Post, where FMCSA’s carrier census shows 41 of 43 active carriers working only inside Texas. It changes nothing for a sale; we need the title, the registration and the VIN.
• The title to my cotton-country grain hauler is gone, so which office handles a replacement?With 251 farms in Garza County on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, many trucks here were titled years ago to a farm or family member. Start with the state’s title agency for a replacement, and tell us whose name was on the original so we know who must sign.
