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

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals west of town: Montvale at 12 miles and Montvale Piedmont at 12.2 miles. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads at either one may well be parked out along that stretch when you call, so give us the yard address in Montvale rather than your home address in Bedford.

If the tractor you are selling pulled fuel from the Montvale racks, have the title in hand and keep any hazmat-related inspection paperwork with it. Photos of the tank, the hose reels and the cab together let us see the whole rig before we schedule the pickup.

Both crushed-stone quarries the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists near Bedford sit 15.6 miles out: Martin Marietta’s Blue Ridge Quarry to the west and Plant #2 to the north-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate off those sites often stay parked at the pit between shifts.

Selling a dump truck that worked one of those two quarries? Tell us which pit it sits at and who can open the gate there. Send pictures of the bed, the hoist and the frame, plus the registration card, and we will plan the collection at the quarry itself.

Montview rail yard lies 18.8 miles east of town and Kinney 19.3 miles east, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles freight to those yards is likely to be found on the east side of the county rather than in Bedford proper.

On the bulk side, RJ Corman runs a liquid bulk terminal 19.9 miles north and Norfolk Southern TBT one 22.8 miles west, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is staged at either terminal, a contact name at the site and the VIN are the two things to send first.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 41 active carriers here, with 19 hauling general freight, 10 moving motor vehicles, 9 carrying machinery and large objects and 6 hauling grain, feed and hay. Car haulers, lowboys and hay trucks all sit alongside the box vans, and any of them is a truck we purchase.

Of those 41, the same census shows 24 cross state lines and 17 stay inside Virginia, while 23 are private fleets moving their own goods. An interstate tractor should come with its registration and any apportioned plate paperwork; an intrastate truck needs only its Virginia title and registration.

FMCSA’s carrier census also shows 4 carriers starting up in 2025 and 5 in 2024. In that census the three biggest outfits run 16, 14 and 11 power units, so if you are selling several trucks from one yard, list each VIN and we will collect them together.

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 29 trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026; their median model year is 2012, and about 62 percent are ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the VIN, the odometer reading and a set of clear photos are what we start from.

Among 13 carriers that reported it, median mileage per truck sits at 30,000 a year in the FMCSA census, and drivers split 83 working within 100 miles and 61 working past it. A local truck that rarely leaves the county is usually at its home yard; for a long-haul tractor, tell us where it will be parked on the day.

Of the 6,851 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place here for 2023, 692 are in manufacturing, 272 in construction and 197 in wholesale trade. Straight trucks, flatbeds and box trucks serving plants and building sites fit what we take, and a business seller should have the title in the company’s name ready to sign.

Bedford’s 61 construction establishments show up in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s flatbed or dump truck can usually be collected from the job yard, so tell us where it is kept and whether a loader or a gate code is needed to reach it.

Bedford County held 1,183 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and equine at the top. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm tractors used for hay may be parked out on the farm itself, and we come to the barn; have the title and the farm address ready.

• Does a dump truck sitting at Martin Marietta’s Blue Ridge Quarry have to come into Bedford first?Blue Ridge Quarry sits 15.6 miles west of Bedford on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the quarry. Give us the gate contact and the truck’s location on site.
• Is a tank truck that loaded at the Montvale terminals something you purchase?Montvale and Montvale Piedmont are the two petroleum terminals the Energy Information Administration lists about 12 miles west, and tank trucks from those racks are part of what we purchase. Photos of the tank barrel next to the VIN plate, plus the Virginia title, get things moving.
• Will you collect a hay truck from a cattle or horse farm out in Bedford County?Bedford County’s 1,183 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, are mostly cattle, corn and equine operations, and we collect at the farm. Tell us the address and where on the property the truck stands.
