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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Eagle Sand & Gravel 8.6 miles south of Willis and the 1362 (32) Route 242 Plant 16.2 miles south. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either pit may well be parked on the operator’s ground when you call, so give us the gate details and a name on site who can let us in.

Further out, Conroe Dryer Plant sits 19.7 miles south-east and Dolen Plant 24.8 miles east, both industrial-mineral mines on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck hauled between those plants and the Willis area, note which ones in your first message and include a clear photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 311 active carriers with a Willis address; 182 of them list general freight. If yours is a box truck or a dry-van tractor from that group, the title in your name and the current Texas registration are the two papers to find before anything else.

Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 71 of those registrations, and machinery or large objects on 81, according to the same FMCSA census. Log trailers, lowboys and the tractors that pull them are trucks we buy, so tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.

Metal sheets, coils and rolls show up for 46 carriers in the FMCSA file. A flatbed rig set up for coil work should come with photos of the deck, the chains and binders, and the cab, all taken in daylight so the picture is complete.

Of the 311 active carriers in town, 240 run intrastate only and 70 cross state lines, the FMCSA census shows, and 96 are private fleets hauling their own goods. An intrastate tractor usually comes home to Willis each night, which makes the collection address simple: your yard or your driveway.

Drivers split almost evenly between short and long work, with FMCSA recording 419 working within 100 miles and 387 beyond it. If your truck is away on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will finish and we can collect it there.

Write down the odometer reading and send it with the VIN; those two numbers start every conversation about a truck.

Roadside checks of 253 Willis-registered trucks from late August 2024 to late August 2026 put the middle model year at 2017, going by FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the model year, a printed service history from the shop that maintained the truck helps us read where it has been.

Within those 253 inspections, 45 percent of the trucks were ten or more model years old, per FMCSA’s roadside file. Older and newer trucks are both welcome; a copy of the most recent inspection report is a useful thing to keep with the title.

The biggest operation in the FMCSA census for Willis runs 136 power units with 62 drivers, and the next two run 39 and 20. If you are selling several units out of a fleet that size, send a list of VINs and where each one sits, and we will plan pickups unit by unit.

Twenty-two carriers took out authority at a Willis address in 2024 and seventeen in 2025, FMCSA’s census shows. A first-year owner-operator selling the only truck on the authority should have the title, the registration and any lien release from the lender ready before we schedule a visit.

Manufacturing accounts for 502 of the 4,487 jobs located in Willis in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 225 more in wholesale trade and 82 in construction. A straight truck that ran parts or finished goods for a plant here can be collected from the plant lot if the owner arranges access.

Fifty-three contractors’ establishments operate around Willis, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns records. A dump truck, water truck or flatbed from a contractor’s yard needs the company’s name on the title to match whoever signs the sale.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,299 farms in Montgomery County, led by cattle, horses and mushrooms. Livestock haulers and farm trucks parked out on a ranch are fine to sell where they stand; a pin dropped on a map gets us to the right gate.

• Our end-dump sits on the Eagle Sand & Gravel lot. Will you pick it up off pit ground?Eagle Sand & Gravel sits 8.6 miles south of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a pit lot like that is a normal place for us to collect. Ask the operator for permission and pass us a contact who can open the gate.
• Do low bridges around Willis limit what you can send for my truck?None of the 18 Willis-area structures in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting, and not one has clearance below 14 feet. Tell us the street address and we will route the collection truck to it.
• Will you take the pole trailer along with my timber tractor?Seventy-one Willis carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber in FMCSA’s carrier census, so log trailers are a familiar sight here. Tell us whether the trailer has its own title and we will include it with the tractor.
