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

Buchanan sits on the James River in Botetourt County with a crushed-stone quarry just east of town, and the dump trucks, flatbeds and tankers that serve the stone pits and the Montvale fuel terminals are the trucks we come here to buy.

Selling a truck in Buchanan? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Quarry trucks from the pits east and north-east of town

Plant #2, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 1.3 miles east of Buchanan, is close enough that a dump truck parked at the pit is practically in town. If your truck hauls stone from there, tell us whether it sits at the quarry gate or at your yard, and we will arrange the pickup at whichever spot is easier to reach.

Rocky Point, another crushed-stone operation, lies 6.1 miles north-east on the Mine Safety and Health Administration roster. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers that shuttle between these two pits are welcome here; send a photo of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate so we know exactly which unit you are describing.

Have the title in hand before you contact us, plus any service records the quarry or your shop kept on the truck. Those papers travel with the truck at pickup and save a second visit.

South on the turnpike

Fuel tankers at Montvale and Montvale Piedmont

Two petroleum product terminals sit south of Buchanan on the Energy Information Administration’s list: MONTVALE at 9.4 miles and MONTVALE PIEDMONT at 9.7 miles. A tractor that pulls fuel trailers out of either site is a truck we buy, and so is the tanker trailer itself if you are selling both.

Tell us whether the tractor and trailer carry separate titles, and have each one ready. If the tanker carries inspection certificates, photograph them along with the trailer’s data plate and send them with your first message.

Further out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the RJ Corman liquid bulk terminal 13.8 miles north-east and Norfolk Southern TBT 21.1 miles south-west. If your rig works those yards, give us the address where it parks between loads and we will collect it there.

Kilns and gravel westward

Bulk haulers toward Roanoke Cement and New Castle

ROANOKE CEMENT COMPANY appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a cement plant 16.9 miles west of Buchanan. Pneumatic bulk trailers and the tractors that pull them between the plant and job sites fit what we purchase; note the trailer type when you write to us.

New Castle Sand Plant, a sand and gravel operation, sits 21.3 miles west in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing and rounds out the aggregate sites around town. If a truck splits its time between sand and cement runs, the registration and any annual inspection sheet are the two documents we ask for first.

Lowboys, coil decks and car haulers on the local register

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 14 active carriers registered here, with eight hauling machinery and large objects, seven carrying general freight, and four each moving metal sheets, coils and rolls or motor vehicles. Lowboys, step-decks, coil-rated flatbeds and car haulers all show up in that mix, and we buy each of them.

Eight of those operations stay intrastate and six cross state lines, according to the same federal motor carrier register, while eight are private fleets hauling their own goods. A contractor selling a truck from a private fleet should have the company’s title and a signed authorisation from whoever can release it.

One operator in Buchanan runs 14 power units with 14 drivers, another 10 units with 4 drivers, and a third 6 units with 7 drivers, per the FMCSA census. Selling several trucks at once is simple: send a list of VINs and where each one is parked, and we plan one trip for the lot.

Construction crews and Botetourt farm country

Construction accounts for 38.7 percent of the work located in Buchanan in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Dump trucks, equipment haulers and service bodies from those crews are trucks we take, wherever the job site has them parked.

Twenty-two construction establishments operate in this area under the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck belongs to one of them, have the company name on the title match the seller signing, or bring paperwork showing who can sign.

Around Buchanan, cattle, corn and milk lead Botetourt County’s 529 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock trailers, grain trucks and milk tankers off those farms are part of what we buy; photograph the body and the trailer plate along with the cab.

The Bedford service center on the Lynchburg Salem Turnpike

Buchanan owners who have misplaced a title order the duplicate from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, at one of its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. From Buchanan, the DMV Customer Service Center - Bedford sits at 1128 E. Lynchburg Salem Turnpike, Suite 950, Bedford, 24523, which the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists 17.2 miles from town.

Start that replacement before you list the truck with us, since the title has to be in the registered owner’s name at pickup. Bring your registration card and identification to the Bedford counter, and if a lender is still on the title, ask the lender for a lien release at the same time.

The questions we get asked in Buchanan

  • Will you collect a dump truck parked at the quarry just east of town?Plant #2 is 1.3 miles east of Buchanan on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect trucks at quarry yards like that one; just confirm the site lets a tow or driver in and tell us who will meet us at the gate.
  • Does a tractor hauling fuel out of the Montvale terminals qualify?Montvale’s two petroleum product terminals sit 9.4 and 9.7 miles south of Buchanan in Energy Information Administration records, and the tractors and tank trailers that load there are trucks we buy; send the VIN and the trailer’s data plate.
  • Can I sell a coil-rated flatbed or a lowboy from Buchanan?Four Buchanan carriers on FMCSA’s census haul metal sheets, coils and rolls and eight haul machinery, so those trailers and the tractors pulling them are squarely in what we purchase.
