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

General freight is the cargo listed by 112 of the 156 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in The Colony. If your tractor or box truck has spent its working life on general loads around Denton County, send the VIN, the registration and a set of photos covering cab, frame and tires, and we can start from there.

Household goods and paper products each appear on 23 carrier registrations in the same FMCSA census, with beverages on 22. Moving vans, straight trucks with lift gates and beverage bay trailers all fit what we purchase, so tell us which body the truck carries and what it last hauled.

Of those carriers, the federal census shows 67 running interstate authority, 89 working intrastate only and 25 operating as private fleets. A private fleet unit sold by a Colony business needs the company’s name on the title to match whoever signs, so have that signer ready before we arrange collection.

The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s register for The Colony run 91, 32 and 32 power units, with 109, 45 and 32 drivers. Selling several units at once works the same way as selling one: give us a list of VINs and where each truck is parked, and we plan the pickup around your yard.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows The Colony adding 12 carriers in 2024 and 22 in 2025. If you started an operation recently and are now selling the truck, the title and the registration in your name are the two papers that matter most; a loan payoff letter helps if a lender is still listed.

Among the 39 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 36,000 miles per truck in a year. Write down the current odometer reading before you contact us; along with the VIN, it is one of the first figures we ask for.

FMCSA roadside inspection records list 321 trucks from The Colony carriers checked between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2019. Bring any inspection reports you kept from those stops, since they record the truck’s identity and history in writing.

In that same set of roadside inspection records, 33.6 percent of the trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever year your truck is, the steps are the same: title, registration, service records if you have them, and clear daylight photos.

Nine miles south, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two Carrollton rail yards, one at 9 miles and one at 9.2. A day cab that shuttles freight to those yards can be collected where it is parked; tell us the street address and who holds the gate key.

The Energy Information Administration lists petroleum product terminals at Southlake, 12.5 miles south-west, and a second Southlake entry at 17.2 miles. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds the Heniff liquid bulk terminal 19.1 miles south. Tank tractors that load at sites like these are trucks we buy, so mention the terminals it served when you write to us.

To the north and west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Denton Sand Farm at 12.6 miles, B & B Sand & Gravel at 14.9 miles and the Denton Pits industrial-mineral mine at 15.1 miles. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor sits at one of those pits, it does not have to come into town first; give us its location and a contact on site.

Of 12,297 jobs counted in The Colony by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, wholesale trade accounts for 733 and construction for 282. Builders’ flatbeds, stake trucks and dumps used on local job sites are welcome here; send photos of the bed or body along with the cab.

Around The Colony there are 99 construction firms and 6 warehousing firms on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor selling a truck registered to the business should bring the company title and a letter naming who may sign for it.

Across Denton County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,936 farms, with equine, wheat and sorghum at the top. Horse haulers, grain trucks and farm-plated units are part of what we purchase; a farm-plated truck still needs its title, so find it before we schedule the pickup.

Inside The Colony, the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory records 38 bridges, with zero weight postings and zero spans clearing less than 14 feet. That leaves the collection route open to a tractor and lowboy, so tell us whether the truck sits in a driveway, a fenced yard or a shared lot.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 166 on FMCSA’s register for local carriers, against 306 driving beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will finish and we will meet it there rather than in The Colony.

• My dump truck is parked at a sand pit north of The Colony. Does it have to come to me in town first?The truck can wait where it is loaded with gravel or parked empty. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists B & B Sand & Gravel 14.9 miles north and Denton Sand Farm 12.6 miles north-west, and we collect from pits like those. Send the pit’s address and the name of whoever runs its gate.
• Can a business sell several trucks at once?A fleet sale is welcome. FMCSA’s carrier census shows local fleets of 91 and 32 power units, and a multi-truck sale starts with a list of VINs, the titles in the company’s name and where each unit is parked.
• What paperwork should I gather for a farm truck from Denton County?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,936 farms in the county; for a truck from any of them, have the title, the current registration and any service records, plus photos of the cab and bed.
