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

The McClure River Plant, a coal preparation plant, lies 4.9 miles south-east of Clintwood in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and the Mill Creek No. 1 Surface coal mine sits 4.5 miles west of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. A tractor or dump truck that hauls between a pit and a prep plant can stay parked at a mine lot when you sell it. Give us the site name and who controls the gate, and we arrange collection there.

DEEP MINE 41 is 5.6 miles south-east of town and the TOMS CREEK COMPLEX preparation plant 12.5 miles south, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roster. If your coal truck is sitting at one of those sites, send photos of the bed, the cab, the frame and the tires, along with the VIN and the plate number, and tell us which road leads in.

Two rail yards appear in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: DANTE, 16 miles south-east of Clintwood, and NORTON, 17.8 miles south-west. A truck that runs loads between the mountain sites and those yards can be picked up wherever it last parked, so tell us whether that is a yard, a shop or your own driveway.

Norton Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 19.9 miles south-west, and the DICKENSONVILLE PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry 20.7 miles south-east, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Tri-axle and quad-axle dump trucks that work stone sites should come with whatever service records you kept, and with the body make and length noted in your first message.

Nine of them list coal and coke as cargo, nine list general freight, six list machinery and large objects, and two haul garbage and refuse. Whichever of those your truck did, tell us the body type and the cargo it carried; for a lowboy or a heavy-haul tractor, include the trailer details if it goes with the sale.

Among those 21 carriers, 14 operate interstate and 7 stay intrastate, and 11 run private fleets moving their own goods, the federal census shows. A private-fleet truck is often titled to the business rather than a person, so have the name exactly as it appears on the title, and the authority to sign for that business, ready before we talk.

In those FMCSA records the median model year is 2013, and 60 percent were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, send the model year, engine and transmission with the VIN and we will work from there.

Twelve local carriers report mileage to FMCSA, and their median is 32,538 miles per truck each year. In the same carrier census, 63 drivers work inside a hundred-mile radius and 23 travel beyond it. Write down the current odometer reading before you contact us, and note whether the truck has a sleeper or a day cab.

At the top of the Clintwood roster in FMCSA’s carrier census, one operation fields 44 power units for 16 drivers, a second has 20 units and 16 drivers, and a third pairs 9 units with 9 drivers. If you are clearing several units from a yard at once, list each truck with its VIN, unit number and where it sits, and we can plan one collection for the group.

One new carrier registered here in 2025, and none in 2024, according to FMCSA. Whether you run a single truck or a fleet, each title has to be in the seller’s name, so check that a business name change or a sold-off partner has not left a title registered to someone who can no longer sign.

Clintwood owners who cannot find a title request a new one from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles at one of its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. In Clintwood that is the DMV Customer Service Center - Clintwood at 2311 Dickenson Hwy., Clintwood, 24228, about 2.9 miles from the center of town.

Bring the VIN, your registration and identification when you go, and apply for the replacement before the truck is collected. If a lender still shows on the title, ask the lender for the lien release first so the Virginia DMV can issue a clear title.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 1,457 jobs in Clintwood, and 98 of them, 6.7 percent, are in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. A truck that served a mine crew or a quarry may carry site permits or decals; leave them on, and mention them, so we know which sites it worked.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 8 construction establishments here, and Dickenson County had 108 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, sheep and horses the leading livestock. Livestock haulers, flatbeds and farm trucks that are titled can be sold the same way as any other truck in town: title, registration, photos and the VIN.

• Do you buy coal trucks from Clintwood owners?Coal and coke is listed as cargo by 9 of the 21 Clintwood carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and coal trucks are among those we buy. A coal hauler from a Dickenson County operation is bought on its title, VIN and photos of the bed and frame.
