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

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a yard named DANTE 1.7 miles south-west of the town. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from a yard that close often spend their whole working life within a few miles of it, so tell us whether yours is parked at the yard, at home or at a shop in town.

Further out, the same Federal Railroad Administration network shows the NORTON yard 19.3 miles to the west. A tractor that has run between the two yards can be collected at either end; give us the exact address and a note on how a lowboy or rollback would reach it on these roads.

Mine #9, a coal mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, lies 4.2 miles north of Dante. Off-road haulers, end dumps and service trucks that worked a site like that may still be parked on mine property, so let us know who controls the gate and whether someone can meet us there.

Carico Ridge Strip is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 5.7 miles to the north-west. For a strip-site truck, send photos of the body, the cab, the frame and the VIN plate, plus whatever service records the site kept, so the truck we arrive to load matches the one you described.

South-west of town by 5.3 miles, Savage Blending Terminal appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a coal preparation plant. Tandems and tri-axles that carry raw coal in and blended coal out are exactly what we buy; have the registration and the title in the name of whoever is selling before we schedule the pickup.

Toms Creek Complex, another preparation plant on the MSHA list, sits 9.4 miles west. A truck that splits its days between the two plants could be sitting at either one when you call, and naming the plant up front saves a wasted trip.

Heading south from Dante, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records DICKENSONVILLE PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry, at 6.5 miles and the Castlewood quarry at 7.8 miles. Quarry dump trucks, water trucks and lowboys hauling loaders between those pits all fit what we purchase.

If the truck is still on quarry ground, ask the operator whether an outside carrier may come in to load it, and tell us before we book the trip. Keep a copy of the most recent inspection sheet and the registration card in the cab for when we arrive.

When a Dante seller cannot find the certificate, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles handles the replacement at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. Closest to Dante is the DMV Customer Service Center - Lebanon, at 567 W. Main Street, Lebanon, 24266, about 12.2 miles away according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office list.

Bring the VIN, your identification and any lien release to that Lebanon office if the original certificate has gone missing. A clean title in the seller’s own name is the one document we need before a truck leaves Dante, so sort it out before you book the pickup.

Around Dante, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 808 farms across Russell County, with cattle, corn and equine at the head of the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds that move hay and horses off those farms are trucks we buy as readily as coal and stone rigs.

A farm truck often stays on the farm for years, so tell us which field gate or barn lot it sits by and whether the ground is firm enough for a rollback to turn around.

• Can you load a truck that sits by the DANTE yard off the hollow road?The DANTE yard lies 1.7 miles south-west of town on the North American Rail Network, and we collect trucks parked there, at home or at any shop nearby. Tell us which side of the tracks the truck is on and whether a rollback can turn around beside it.
• My tractor’s certificate went missing somewhere between the coal plants and home; where near Dante is it reissued?The DMV Customer Service Center - Lebanon handles title replacements, and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists it about 12.2 miles from Dante, at 567 W. Main Street, the closest office to town.
• Do you buy trucks that haul for the coal preparation plants?Savage Blending Terminal at 5.3 miles and Toms Creek Complex at 9.4 miles are both preparation plants on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list, and trucks that haul for either one are trucks we purchase.
• Can you pick up a truck from a quarry south of town?DICKENSONVILLE PLANT and the Castlewood quarry sit 6.5 and 7.8 miles south of Dante in MSHA records; get the operator’s permission for an outside carrier, tell us the gate, and we will arrange the collection there.
