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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 249 active motor carriers based in Arlington, and 151 of them list general freight among what they haul. If your tractor or box truck belongs to one of those outfits, have the title and current Virginia registration in one folder before you call us, so the sale can start from paperwork rather than questions.

Thirty-one Arlington carriers in the FMCSA carrier census haul motor vehicles, 30 carry household goods and 23 move garbage, refuse or trash. A car hauler, a moving van or a roll-off truck from any of those lines is something we collect; photograph the body or trailer equipment along with the cab, since a moving box or a hook-lift tells its own story.

Of those 249 Arlington operations, the federal carrier census counts 155 running interstate, 94 staying inside Virginia and 55 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the door; tell us whose name is on the title so the signature on the transfer matches it.

New registrations in FMCSA’s census climbed from 13 Arlington carriers in 2024 to 28 in 2025. If you are one of those owners and the truck no longer fits your plans, a first-year sale needs the same items as any other: the title in your name, the registration card and the keys.

Owners who financed a truck when they started out should check with their lender before contacting us. Where a lien is still on the title, give us the lender’s name and we will work the lien release into the paperwork rather than leaving it for you to chase.

Across 217 Arlington-based trucks checked at roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2015, with 60.8 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, read the VIN off the dash or door jamb and send it with your first message.

The 72 carriers here that report mileage to FMCSA’s census log a median of 20,000 miles per truck each year. Snap a clear picture of the odometer and include it with your photos, so the number we work from is the one on the dash.

Keep the inspection reports from those roadside checks with the truck. If you still have the paperwork from a recent stop or a service visit, scan it and attach it; the history of the truck reaches us in the same message as its pictures.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, 5.4 miles south of Arlington. If your tanker or tractor loads there, tell us where it is parked between runs; a yard address and a gate contact let us plan collection without you on site.

Two petroleum product terminals, FAIRFAX and the FAIRFAX BLENDING TERMINAL, sit 9.5 miles west of the city on Energy Information Administration listings. Fuel haulers working that corridor can leave the truck at the terminal lot or a nearby yard; send us the location along with the title, and we come out to it.

According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA crushed-stone quarry lies 15.8 miles south-west of Arlington. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run stone out of there can be collected at the quarry yard or at your shop; say which, and who holds the gate key.

Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 21.4 miles west, is a second source of aggregate loads near the county. For a dump body or a mixer, photograph the bed, the hoist and the chassis plate as well as the cab, and note the axle setup in your message.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 10,603 of Arlington’s 166,762 jobs in transportation and warehousing, a 6.4 percent share. Delivery vans, straight trucks and day cabs from that sector are all trucks we take; a registration card showing the current owner makes the hand-over simple.

Construction accounts for 2,492 local jobs in the LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 215 construction establishments in the county. Contractors selling a flatbed, a crane truck or a dump truck should list any attached equipment, since a boom or a liftgate needs its own photos.

Wholesale trade holds 1,972 jobs and manufacturing 993 in the same Census Bureau LEHD release. A reefer or box truck from a distributor here can be picked up at the loading dock; give us the dock hours so collection lands when someone is there to release the keys.

• My dump truck is parked near the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA quarry. Does it have to come into Arlington?Leave it by the quarry. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists that quarry 15.8 miles south-west of the city, and we collect the truck where it sits; just tell us the lot and who can open it.
• I run a refuse truck for one of the county’s trash haulers; is that a truck you collect?It is. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 23 Arlington carriers hauling garbage, refuse or trash, and roll-offs, rear-loaders and front-loaders are all trucks we take. Have the title and registration ready, plus photos of the body.
• My Virginia title is lost; where does an Arlington owner get a replacement?Virginia’s title agency issues duplicate titles to the owner on record. Request the duplicate before the sale, or tell us it is missing and we will walk through the order of steps with you.
