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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Puddledock Sand & Gravel 1.8 miles east of Colonial Heights. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads at that pit can be collected from the pit lot, your yard or your driveway, so tell us which of those it is and who holds the gate key.

Norfolk Southern TBT (RSI Logistics), a liquid bulk terminal, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings 1.8 miles south-east of the city. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers in and out of that transload, send photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, and note whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays behind.

Also 1.8 miles south-east, the BROADWAY rail yard is mapped by the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle freight between that yard and local docks often sit near the tracks between shifts; give us the street address of wherever yours is parked tonight.

Hopewell, 7.7 miles east, shows up twice in federal listings: as a liquid bulk terminal from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and as a petroleum product terminal from the Energy Information Administration. Fuel and chemical haulers based along that stretch can be sold without a trip back into Colonial Heights; we arrange collection at the terminal side lot or your shop.

South-east of town, the North American Rail Network places the POE rail yard 5.1 miles out. If your day cab works drayage off that yard, have the title in hand and the registration card from the cab ready to photograph.

To the south-west, JACK PLANT is a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration records 7.8 miles from the city. Quarry trucks are often kept on site, so tell us whether the quarry operator has to sign anyone in before we reach your truck.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 77 active motor carriers based in Colonial Heights, with 42 running interstate, 35 staying inside Virginia and 10 operating as private fleets. Whichever of those describes your outfit, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title, the current registration and any service records you have kept.

General freight is listed by 63 of those carriers in the federal census, motor vehicle hauling by 17, machinery and large objects by 15, and logs, poles, beams and lumber by 13. Car haulers, lowboys and log trucks registered here all fit what we purchase, along with ordinary box and van tractors.

New registrations in the FMCSA census came to 15 in 2025, against 2 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender’s name so the payoff letter can be requested before collection.

FMCSA’s carrier census puts 480 Colonial Heights drivers on runs that stay inside 100 miles of base, and 210 on routes reaching past that line. A local hauler’s truck is usually parked at home by evening, while a long-haul tractor may be somewhere along a route, so say where it will be on the day you want it gone.

Among 16 carriers reporting mileage to the federal census, the median comes to 31,000 miles per truck in a year. Write the current odometer reading on your inquiry along with the VIN, so the details match the truck when we arrive.

At the top of the FMCSA register for Colonial Heights, one fleet lists 436 power units, while the next two list 9 and 7. Selling several units at once from a yard of any size is straightforward; send a list of VINs and where each one sits.

Across 55 trucks stopped between October 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2018. Late-model and older tractors are both on our list, so the model year on your title is simply one more detail to send.

Of those same inspected trucks, 27 percent were ten or more model years old in the FMCSA roadside records. A recent inspection report, if you have one, belongs with the photos you send us.

The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 59 construction establishments and 4 warehousing establishments in Colonial Heights. Contractors with a dump truck or flatbed parked at a jobsite can have it collected there, as long as someone on site knows we are coming.

LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau show 9,717 jobs in the city in 2023, with 224 in construction, 143 in wholesale trade and 104 in manufacturing. A box truck or straight truck from a wholesale or factory route qualifies just as a tractor does; have the registration and keys together before the pickup.

If the title has gone missing, Virginia’s Department of Motor Vehicles issues replacements, and that duplicate should be in hand before we collect.
