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

Just 2.7 miles south-west of Collinsville, Martin Marietta’s Fieldale Quarry cuts crushed stone, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or tri-axle that has spent its shifts between that pit face and local job sites can be collected from the yard it already sits in; send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Farther out, the Eden Plant appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing as a crushed-stone quarry 17.3 miles south-east of town. If your truck hauls aggregate to Eden and is parked down there between loads, leave it in place; we collect it at Eden. Tell us which of the two quarries it serves so we know where to send the driver.

For a stone hauler, photograph the body, the tailgate and the hoist alongside the cab, and have the VIN plate and the title ready to read out over the phone.

Collinsville is home base for 14 active trucking carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, all of them Henry County outfits. Five of them list general freight, while two each list intermodal containers, machinery and large objects, and metal sheets, coils and rolls, so a box van, a flatbed, a lowboy or a coil-rated trailer setup all fit what is registered here.

Split by operation in that same federal census, 6 carriers are authorised for interstate work and 8 stay intrastate, and 7 run as private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck is welcome; have the company’s authorisation to sell on letterhead, plus the title in the company name.

On FMCSA’s register the top three Collinsville outfits field 5, 5 and 4 power units between them, staffed by 8, 5 and 2 drivers in turn. If you are thinning out a small fleet like those, list each unit’s VIN together in one message and we can plan collection of several at once.

Drivers working within a 100-mile radius number 19 in FMCSA’s carrier census for Collinsville, against 8 who go beyond it. A local tractor is most likely to be at a home yard or a customer site in the county when we come for it, so pick whichever address is easiest to reach.

Across the 5 carriers that report it to FMCSA, the median comes to 5,626 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer before you call and include a clear photo of the dash; that figure and the VIN are the first two things we ask for.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,974 jobs in Collinsville in 2023, of which construction held 62, a 2.1 percent share, and manufacturing held 78, or 2.6 percent. Contractors and plant operators here who own a dump truck, a stake bed or a service body are exactly the sellers we hear from.

A dozen construction firms, 12 in all, keep an address in Collinsville per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your outfit is one of them and the truck is registered to the business, the person signing the title needs to be authorised to sell it; tell us who that is at the outset.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 258 farms in Henry County, with tobacco, wheat and hogs leading the list. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated straight trucks from those operations are all part of what we buy.

A farm truck often sits in a barn lot off a gravel lane rather than at a paved yard. Give us directions to the exact spot, say whether a tow rig can turn around there, and have the title in hand; if the title cannot be found, mention it on the first call so replacing it is under way before collection.
