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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Lion Cave Materials Briggs Pit, a crushed-stone quarry, 2.2 miles north of Selma, and the 1604 Quarry 2.7 miles to the west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either pit is often parked on a contractor lot near the gate, so tell us whose ground it sits on and who holds the key.

Cement is close as well: 1604 QUARRY & PLANT stands 3.9 miles north-west of town and Capitol Cement Plant & Quarry 6.9 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your mixer or pneumatic tanker has hauled from either plant, send photos of the drum or tank, the chassis plate and the cab, and keep the registration with the title.

Further out, the Solms Operation, a sand and gravel site listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 8.5 miles north-east. A truck working that run can be collected where it stops for the night; give us the street address and a phone number for whoever opens the yard.

South-west of Selma, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the KIRBY yard at 9.1 miles and SAN ANTONIO TOFC at 9.5 miles. A day cab that shuttles trailers off that ramp can be listed with its VIN and odometer reading first, and the rest of our questions follow from those two.

The Energy Information Administration places the SAN ANTONIO BLENDING TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal, 10.4 miles south-west of town. For a tractor that has pulled fuel trailers out of it, keep any terminal inspection sheets and service records together; they travel with the truck when we collect it.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 68 active motor carriers based in Selma, with 22 operating interstate, 46 intrastate and 19 running as private fleets. Whether yours is a single tractor or one unit from a private fleet, the paperwork we need is the same: title, current registration and a set of clear photos.

General freight is the cargo listed by 46 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, followed by machinery and large objects at 16, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 11, and beverages at 10. A lowboy tractor, a flatbed hauling lumber or a beverage route truck all fit what we purchase, so name the body type and trailer when you get in touch.

The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s census in Selma report 266, 181 and 84 power units, against 131, 209 and 47 drivers. Fleet managers selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses and we plan collections from it.

Among Selma carriers, FMCSA’s census records 221 drivers working within 100 air miles and 412 beyond it. A long-haul sleeper may be sitting at a terminal out of state when you decide to sell, and it does not have to come home first; give us its location.

Across 25 reporting carriers, the median annual distance per truck is 32,702 miles according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Have the current odometer reading ready, written down or photographed from the dash, along with the VIN.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 7,917 jobs in Selma, with wholesale trade holding 1,320 of them and construction 1,178. Box trucks from distribution yards and dump or flatbed trucks from building sites both qualify; tell us which kind of work yours did.

Manufacturing accounts for 502 Selma jobs in the 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau, and transportation and warehousing for 87. If your truck belongs to a plant rather than a carrier, the business that holds the title should be the one that signs it over.

Selma’s 21 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carry no load posting, and not one of them clears under 14 feet. When you tell us where the truck is parked, mention any gate width or overhead wire on the lot itself so the collection vehicle can reach it.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,107 farms in Bexar County, with cattle, horses and corn at the top of the list. A stock trailer tractor or grain truck kept on a ranch outside Selma can be collected from the property; send the gate directions and the title holder’s name.

• Our end-dump is parked at a pit just north of Selma off the quarry road. Does it have to come off site?Briggs Pit sits 2.2 miles north of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from a quarry lot like that one. Give us the name of the pit foreman or yard manager and we set the visit up with that person.
• My truck belongs to one of the private fleets in Selma. Can the company sell a single unit?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 19 private fleets among Selma’s 68 active carriers, and any of them can sell one truck or several. The company named on the title signs it over, so have that person ready.
• Which papers go with a Selma flatbed that carries poles and beams?Lumber, logs, poles and beams appear as cargo for 11 Selma carriers in FMCSA’s census, and those trucks need the same papers as any other: title, registration, the VIN and photos of the cab, frame and bed.
