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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Eagle Crusher #1, a crushed-stone quarry, just 0.3 miles west of Tye. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load there often sit in a yard within sight of the pit, and we collect from that spot. Send the VIN, the plate and photos of the cab, the bed and the tires before anything else.

Two dimension-stone quarries, Hamby at 16.7 miles and Schkade Mines at 23.4 miles, both lie north-east of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Flatbeds that carry cut stone blocks off those sites belong on our list too. If the truck is parked at one of them, tell us who holds the gate key so the collection can be arranged with the site.

South-east of Tye, Abilene Black Lease Quarry is a crushed-stone operation 13.5 miles out, again per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your tractor or dump truck rotated between these pits, a simple note of which sites it served helps us understand it before we see it.

A petroleum product terminal listed by the Energy Information Administration as ABILENE TX sits 0.8 miles north-east of Tye, and a second one named ABILENE lies 8.1 miles in the same direction. Tank trucks and tractors that pull fuel trailers out of either terminal fit what we buy. Keep any tank inspection certificates and service records together with the title.

Dyess Air Force Base, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 2.6 miles south-east of town, is the other big landmark on this side of Abilene. If you are leaving the area on orders and your truck has to stay behind, give us the address where it will be parked and a local contact who can hand over the keys, and finish the sale from wherever you are posted next.

Tye, a small town on the edge of Abilene, is home base for 23 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. Those filings with FMCSA show 13 listing general freight, 12 machinery and large objects, 8 farm supplies and 6 logs, poles, beams and lumber. Lowboys, flatbeds and box trucks that move that mix are all trucks we purchase, and a description of the usual load tells us which trailer setup to expect.

Sixteen of those carriers run intrastate only and 7 run interstate, while 14 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, have the registration in the company’s name ready and the person who can sign for it identified.

At the top end in Tye, FMCSA’s carrier census shows one fleet of 111 power units with 62 drivers, then units of 57 and 12 with 21 and 5 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several units from a yard on the west side of Abilene, a list of VINs with each unit’s location lets us plan the pickup around the trucks where they stand.

Drivers for Tye carriers split between 64 who stay within 100 miles and 112 who range beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck that runs long hauls may be parked out of town when you decide to sell, and we come to the address you give us rather than asking you to bring it home first.

Among the 8 carriers that reported both mileage and power units to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median comes to 24,916 miles per truck a year. Give us the current odometer reading with the VIN; the figure on the dash is the one we work from.

Roadside stops of 53 Tye-based trucks between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2018, with 32 percent at ten or more model years, in FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year of yours, list it with the make and model when you first contact us.

Construction holds 136 of the 671 jobs located in Tye, or 20.3 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with transportation and warehousing at 124 and wholesale trade at 116. Dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds from building work share the roads with distribution box trucks and tractors, and each kind is one we buy.

Around Tye the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 5 construction establishments, each a possible seller of a dump truck or flatbed. Contractors who are closing out a job or trimming equipment can send photos of each truck from the job site, and we collect from there.

Taylor County has 1,222 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, wheat and horses top its list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and stock-trailer tractors from those operations are welcome; tell us whether the truck is on a ranch road so we can plan the approach.

A seller in Tye who cannot find the title goes through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which issues copies via county tax assessor-collector offices. The nearest is the Taylor County Tax Office, 400 Oak Street, Ste 105, Taylor County Plaza, Abilene, 79602, a 7.8-mile drive east from Tye by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ listing. If the title is missing, request a copy there before we collect.

Bring the registration and photo identification when you visit the tax office, and if the truck is still financed, have the lienholder’s release ready too. A truck titled to a company needs the signature of someone authorised to sign for it, so sort that out alongside the copy of the title.

The ABILENE rail yard on the North American Rail Network lies 8 miles east, just beyond the tax office in downtown Abilene. If your truck is parked at a rail-side lot or a yard on that side of the city, give us the street address and the plate, and the paperwork and the pickup can be lined up together.

• My dump truck sits in the quarry yard just west of Tye; does it have to come out first?Eagle Crusher #1 sits 0.3 miles west of Tye on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the quarry yard itself. Name the person at the crusher who can let us in and point out the truck.
• My orders take me away from Dyess before the truck is sold; is that a problem?Dyess Air Force Base lies 2.6 miles south-east of Tye per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the truck can stay parked near it after you go. Leave us the address and a contact with the keys, and sign the paperwork from your new posting.
• Will you take a tank truck that loads at the terminal north-east of Tye?The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals north-east of Tye, at 0.8 and 8.1 miles, and tank trucks that load at either fit what we purchase. Send the VIN, photos and the tank’s inspection certificates.
