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

Ettrick sits in Chesterfield County with the BROADWAY rail yard and a Norfolk Southern liquid bulk terminal just east of town, and quarries, a gravel pit and Fort Gregg-Adams all within a few miles, so tractors, tankers and dump trucks from around here are the kind we expect to hear about.

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

Tankers by the TBT gate

Liquid bulk loads two terminals east of Ettrick

Norfolk Southern TBT appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 2.7 miles east of Ettrick. A tractor that has pulled tankers in and out of that site is one we buy, and the quickest way to start is to send the VIN, a photo of the door plate and a note saying it worked the TBT transload.

Further east, 9.8 miles out, the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics list carries a second liquid bulk terminal at Hopewell. If the truck is parked on a terminal lot there, tell us who controls the gate. We arrange the collection with whoever holds the key, and the truck stays where it is until we arrive.

Yards south and east

Day cabs serving the Ettrick rail sidings

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the BROADWAY yard 2.7 miles east and the COLLIER yard 5.5 miles south of town. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from rail sidings are part of what we take, and photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel tell us most of what we need.

Should your tractor be parked near COLLIER on the south side, give us the street address or the cross streets beside the yard. With the title in hand and the registration card in the glovebox, the visit to collect it is short and you do not need to be standing there for all of it.

Pit and quarry trucks

Dump trucks from three pits around Ettrick

Puddledock Sand & Gravel, 3.7 miles east, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roll of operations near Ettrick. Dump trucks and tri-axles that hauled out of a pit like that are welcome here; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and list the axle setup so we know which body we are looking at.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists two crushed-stone quarries: JACK PLANT 5.7 miles south-west and DALE PLANT 8.8 miles north-west. A truck that is still parked at a quarry yard can stay there; send the plant name and a phone number for the scale house or yard office, and we line the pickup up with them.

Owners on orders

Selling a truck near the installation

Fort Gregg-Adams, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a military installation 5.3 miles east of Ettrick, is close enough that some sellers here are on orders and about to move. If you are leaving the area, the truck does not have to leave with you; sign the title, leave the keys with someone local and we collect it after you go.

A truck parked on post may be simpler to collect from an address off the installation, so tell us exactly where it will be on the day. Keep the title and registration together so the transfer can be finished even if you are already at your next station.

Soybean and horse country

Ettrick jobs and Chesterfield farm hauling

According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 1,552 jobs were located in Ettrick in 2023. Some of those belong to people who run one or two trucks of their own, and a single-truck owner sells to us the same way a fleet does: one title, one set of photos, one address.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 162 farms across Chesterfield County, with equine, soybeans and corn at the top of the list. Grain trucks and livestock or horse haulers that work those farms are trucks we buy, and a barn or field gate is a fine place for us to pick one up as long as it can be reached from the road.

Title and folder

Getting the Ettrick sale papers in order

Virginia’s title agency issues the certificate we need signed over, so check that the name on it matches yours and that any lien shown has been released. If the title is missing, request a replacement from that agency before collection day and let us know it is on the way.

Gather service records, inspection reports and the registration in one folder, along with clear photos of each side of the truck. With those in hand we can confirm the details by phone and set a date to collect it in Ettrick or wherever in Chesterfield County it is parked.

The questions we get asked in Ettrick

  • My tractor is parked at the Hopewell terminal, not in Ettrick, and I’d rather leave it on the Hopewell lot for collection.Hopewell’s liquid bulk terminal is 9.8 miles east of Ettrick on Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures, and we collect trucks where they sit. Give us the terminal gate contact and the spot on the lot.
  • My tri-axle hauled crushed stone out of JACK PLANT for years. Is a quarry dump truck on your list?JACK PLANT is a crushed-stone quarry 5.7 miles south-west of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the dump trucks that haul from quarries like it are trucks we purchase. A VIN plus pictures of the hoist and body is enough to begin.
  • New orders are moving me away from Fort Gregg-Adams soon. How does the sale finish once I’ve gone?Fort Gregg-Adams lies 5.3 miles east of Ettrick per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and plenty of owners there move before a sale closes. Leave the signed title and keys with someone nearby and we finish it with them.
  • I pull a horse trailer around a Chesterfield farm with my truck, and I’m ready to let that rig go.Equine operations top the USDA 2022 Census of Agriculture list for Chesterfield County’s 162 farms, and the trucks that pull horse trailers there are ones we buy. Tell us the farm address and how the truck is reached.
