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

Ennis Sand & Gravel sits about 6 miles north-east of Rice, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Bristol Sand & Gravel lies roughly 12.1 miles north. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that shuttles between those pits can stay parked at the yard gate or behind your house; give us the spot and we arrange collection there.

Eastward, at about 8.6 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Patriot Mining and Materials, LLC as an industrial-mineral mine. If your truck worked that site, tell us what it carried and send pictures of the bed, the frame and the cab so the description and the photos line up.

Ten and a half miles south of town, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a rail yard called HILL. Day cabs that run boxes or loads between that yard and the Interstate corridor are the kind of tractor we collect from Rice driveways and shop lots alike.

North-west of Rice, roughly 11.7 miles out, the Energy Information Administration records the ENNIS PLANT petroleum product terminal. If your truck pulled a tank trailer to that terminal, keep its hauling paperwork and any inspection sheets together with the title, and tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale.

Around Rice, 58 carriers are active in FMCSA’s carrier census, with general freight claimed by 41 of that roster. Ten haul machinery and large objects, five carry fresh produce and four move logs, poles, beams or lumber, so a sleeper, a flatbed tractor or a lowboy rig could all be sitting in a Rice yard.

Most of these outfits stay inside Texas: the federal carrier census counts 51 intrastate operators against 6 that cross state lines, plus 12 private fleets that haul their own goods. If yours ran intrastate only, have the Texas registration and the title in the same name before you reach out.

New registrations picked up recently, with eight carriers added in 2025 compared with three in 2024, per the same FMCSA census. If you started a small outfit and are now selling the truck, the VIN, the registration and a few photos are enough to get the conversation going.

Of the drivers registered with carriers here, FMCSA’s carrier census places 189 inside a 100-mile operating radius and 128 working beyond it. A truck that comes home every night is easy to find at its usual spot; one on longer routes, tell us when it will be back in Navarro County.

Across 19 carriers reporting mileage, the federal carrier census gives a median of 31,205 miles per truck each year. Have the odometer reading handy when you send the VIN, along with whatever service records you kept.

The biggest operations based here are moderate in size: according to FMCSA, one runs 89 power units with 121 drivers, another 29 power units and 29 drivers, and a third 19 power units with 4 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a fleet like that, list each VIN so we can look at every truck.

Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 88 trucks from carriers here, with a median model year of 2009.5, and those same inspection records put roughly 73 percent of the units at ten or more model years old. That is simply the mix of trucks on Rice roads.

Whatever the model year, send the year, make and model with the VIN, and add clear photos of each side and the dash so we know which truck we are discussing.

On the roads around Rice the National Bridge Inventory lists eight bridges, none of them load-posted and none with a clearance under fourteen feet. A tall tractor or a loaded lowboy can reach most local yards without a detour, so tell us the street address and the gate details.

Farming and forestry account for about 17.8 percent of local employment in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 2,213 farms across Navarro County, led by cattle, corn and cotton. A cattle hauler or grain truck kept on a farm outside Rice can stay right there for collection.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts nine construction establishments near Rice. If a dump truck or flatbed belongs to one of those firms, have the company’s authorised signer ready to sign the title.

Rice owners who need a title copy deal with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through its county tax assessor-collector offices, in this case the Navarro County Tax Office at 601 N. 13th Street, Corsicana, 75110, a 10.6-mile trip by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles listing. A missing title can be replaced with a certified copy at that counter before the sale.

When a lender still appears on the title, bring the lien release to that Corsicana office along with your ID, and tell us early so the paperwork is in order when we arrive.

• My tractor never left Texas roads; does that matter for selling it from Rice?Intrastate carriers make up 51 of the 58 active carriers around Rice in FMCSA’s carrier census, so a Texas-only truck is ordinary here. Keep the Texas registration beside the title when you contact us.
