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

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023 put 482 jobs in Primera, and 191 of them, or 39.6 percent, sit in transportation and warehousing. If your tractor or box truck spent its days on that kind of freight around the Valley, tell us the body type and whether it carries a sleeper, and send the VIN with your first message.

Construction accounts for another 120 Primera jobs, a 24.9 percent share, in those same 2023 LODES figures from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixers from that work tend to sit at a job site or a contractor’s yard between projects, so give us the street address where the truck is parked rather than your office address.

A Harlingen rail yard lies 2.9 miles east of Primera on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is parked on a lot near that yard, we collect it on that lot; tell us whether there is a gate and who holds the key.

Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration lie to the east: one at Harlingen 8.7 miles out and KEY PETROL LLC at 9.4 miles. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds Titan Fuel, a liquid bulk terminal 9.6 miles east. For a tank truck that loaded at sites like these, have the title, the current registration and any tank inspection records together before you call.

East of town by 14.3 miles, the Port of Harlingen Authority appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port list, and the same federal agency places the Brownsville port 25 miles south-east. Trucks that haul to the docks at either one do not need to come back to Primera to be sold; name the yard and we arrange pickup where the truck stands.

Photos help a port tractor more than a description does. Send shots of the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and each axle, plus a clear picture of the VIN plate, so the truck we arrive to collect matches the one we discussed.

Westward 21.2 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Donna, TX - Rio Valley rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs that pull containers between that ramp and Cameron County yards are trucks we buy, whether or not they still carry a lease decal.

If the tractor was on lease to someone else, bring the lease release along with the title. Where the title shows a lienholder, a letter from that lender confirming the balance lets us settle it directly at pickup.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,248 farms in Cameron County and lists cotton, sorghum and corn as its top crops. Grain trucks, module haulers and the tractors that pull them around harvest often sit in a barn or a field lot for part of the year, and that is a fine place for us to pick one up.

Farm trucks are sometimes registered under a farm plate or titled to a family member rather than the person selling. Before we schedule a visit, check whose name the Texas title carries, and if it belongs to a relative or an estate, gather the paperwork that shows you can sign for it.

• Do you buy tank trucks from the fuel terminals east of town?Terminals at Harlingen and KEY PETROL LLC appear in Energy Information Administration listings 8.7 and 9.4 miles east, and tank tractors that served them are on our list.

• What about a farm truck from a Cameron County cotton or grain operation?Cameron County’s 1,248 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow mostly cotton, sorghum and corn, and the grain trucks that serve them are welcome. Confirm whose name is on the Texas title before we set a pickup.
• My dump truck is parked at a job site outside Primera. Will you collect from that site?Construction holds 120 of Primera’s 482 jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LODES counts, and those trucks are often parked at a site out of town. Give us that site’s address and we collect it there.
