Sell your semi truck for cash in Big Stone Gap the easy and convenient way

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Paragon Loadout, a coal preparation plant, 4.4 miles north of Big Stone Gap, and Tipple #1 another stretch up the road at 5.1 miles. A tractor or dump truck that has shuttled coal into those plants may still be parked near the loadout gate, and we can collect it there. Tell us which site it sits at and who holds the key, and send photos of the cab, frame and tires.

Strip #12, a surface coal mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 7.5 miles north-east, and Gobco #15 is farther out at 19.9 miles east. If your truck worked either operation, keep any site access paperwork with it along with the title and registration. Those papers let us arrange entry to a mine property without a second round of calls.

According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 3 of the 22 active carriers based in Big Stone Gap list coal and coke as cargo they haul. If you are one of those small outfits, give us the VIN, the odometer reading and the body type first; a coal hauler’s tandem or tri-axle setup is the detail we ask about next.

Norton Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, sits 7.3 miles north-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roster, while Powell Valley Stone Company Incorporated runs a second quarry 22.5 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks that move aggregate between those pits and job sites often stay parked at the quarry between loads. Let us know the quarry and a contact who can open the gate, and we plan the pickup around that.

Four miles north, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Andover rail yard.

Gravel lots near a yard or quarry are fine places for us to load from. Send a photo of where the truck stands, taken from the road, along with the nearest crossroads in Wise County.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 22 active carriers in Big Stone Gap: 9 cross state lines and 13 stay inside Virginia, and 13 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet’s truck still carries its own title, so whoever is listed on it, the business or the owner, is the person who signs for the sale.

General freight is the most common cargo listed, with 10 carriers, followed by 5 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber and 3 doing driveaway or towaway work, all by FMCSA’s carrier census. Log trucks with knuckle-boom loaders, flatbeds and car haulers are all trucks we take on. Note any loader or crane mounted on the chassis and include its make, so we know what the unit carries.

One fleet registered here runs 22 power units with 11 drivers and another runs 8 units with 3 drivers, FMCSA’s carrier census shows. If you are selling several trucks from one yard, list each VIN and the titles on a single sheet; one collection trip can cover the batch.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows Big Stone Gap adding a pair of fresh carrier registrations in 2024 and a matching pair in 2025.
