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

Jacks Mountain Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 12.8 miles east of town, puts Ferrum between two pits rather than beside one. If your dump truck or tri-axle has been hauling aggregate out of Jacks Mountain, it can stay parked at the yard or at your place; give us the address and a gate contact and we come to it.

On the other side of the ridge, FLOYD QUARRY appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 14.7 miles west of Ferrum. Owners who split loads between the eastern and western pits often keep the truck wherever the last job ended. Send the VIN, a few clear photos of the bed, frame and cab, and the location, and the pickup is planned around that spot.

Nineteen miles north, the Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the name ROANOKE. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads there and delivers back down into Franklin County can be collected at the terminal end or at home, whichever is easier for you; just tell us which.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two liquid bulk terminals a little farther on: Associated Asphalt at 23 miles and Norfolk Southern TBT at 23.8 miles, both north of Ferrum. For an asphalt tanker or a tractor that has pulled liquid bulk trailers, have the title, the registration and any terminal or tank inspection paperwork in one folder before we talk.

Ferrum’s rail connections also point toward Roanoke: according to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the SOUTH ROANOKE yard is 22.4 miles away and the ROANOKE yard 23.3 miles away. A day cab that has shuttled freight to those yards is a truck we buy, and its service records tell us where it has been.

Between the two quarries and the Roanoke terminals, FMCSA’s carrier census counts 15 active carriers with a Ferrum address, a mix of loggers, haulers and farm outfits. Seven list general freight, six list logs, poles, beams and lumber, six list machinery and large objects, and five list farm supplies, so a single outfit here often hauls more than one kind of load. Tell us every cargo type your truck has carried, from logs to equipment, so the description covers all of it.

Private fleets account for 10 of those registrations in the same federal census, alongside 7 interstate and 8 intrastate operations. A farm, sawmill or contractor that owns its own tractor rather than hauling for hire sells to us the same way: title in the owner’s name, current registration, and photos of the truck where it sits.

Fleet size in Ferrum stays small. The biggest operation in FMCSA’s records runs 15 power units with 17 drivers, the next has 4 and 4, and the third has 2 and 2. Selling one tractor from a fleet of that size, or the whole yard, is a conversation we have often; list each unit by VIN and say where each one is parked.

Thirty-five drivers in the town’s FMCSA registrations work beyond a hundred-mile radius, while 25 stay inside it. A truck that runs long hauls may be out of state when you decide to sell, so give us its current location instead of where it is based.

One new carrier registered in Ferrum in 2025 and none in 2024, by the count in FMCSA’s census. If you are winding down an operation that started only recently, the paperwork is the same: title, registration and your operating authority details, so the truck leaves your name cleanly.

Around Ferrum, Franklin County holds 886 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn as its top products. Milk haulers, livestock tractors and grain trucks from those farms are all trucks we buy, and a farm truck parked at the barn is collected from the barn.

Farm trucks often go years without leaving one property, so the title can be the hardest part to find. Look for it before anything else, then gather the registration and any service receipts from the farm office.

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles here, and its DMV Customer Service Center - Rocky Mount at 305 Tanyard Road, Rocky Mount, 24151 is 7.6 miles from Ferrum. If the title is missing, a replacement is requested through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles at one of its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, and Rocky Mount is the nearest listed.

Bring the registration card and your identification to that office, and make sure the name on the request matches the name on the truck’s record. Once the duplicate title is in hand, send us a photo of it with the VIN plate so both match before pickup.

For a small Franklin County town of 1,774 residents, the 377 jobs located in Ferrum in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts include work that keeps trucks busy on nearby sites. Among local firms, 23 are construction businesses according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and their dump trucks and flatbeds move between Ferrum job sites and the quarries. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies tied to that building work are trucks we take, wherever the last site was.

Contractors who keep equipment at a job site rather than a yard should tell us the site address and who can let us in. Photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate, plus the title, are enough to start.
