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

The Energy Information Administration lists the YORKTOWN petroleum product terminal 2.6 miles south-west of Gloucester Point, on the far side of the York. A tractor that has shuttled loads out of that terminal can stay parked in Gloucester when you sell it; give us the street address and say whether a gate or a key box stands between us and the cab.

About 4.8 miles to the south-east, by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ figures, sits the Plains All American Pipeline liquid bulk terminal. If your tanker unit pulled from that dock, keep its hazmat placard history, tank test certificates and the registration together in the cab so everything we ask about is in one folder.

Two military sites appear in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list for this stretch of the river: Yorktown Fuel Depot, 3.8 miles south, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, 5.2 miles west. Contract haulers who ran fuel or materials onto either base often keep the truck at home in Gloucester County between jobs, and that driveway is where we would rather meet it.

Base access passes and delivery logs are not something we need, but the title in your name and a current Virginia registration are. Should the title be lost, apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate before the pickup is booked, and tell us the moment it arrives.

Lee’s Pit, an industrial-mineral mine 7.6 miles south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, is the nearest dig to town. Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Amrize Hickory Hill, a sand and gravel operation 14.2 miles north-west, and GSM #1, 15.5 miles west.

Dump trucks and tri-axles that cycle between those pits and building sites are among the units we collect. Photograph the bed, the hoist, the tailgate and the cab from all four sides, and send the VIN with the pictures so we can match them to the right truck.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 21 active carriers based here, 13 of them hauling general freight, 5 moving household goods, 4 carrying refrigerated food and 4 handling machinery and large objects. A box truck that moved furniture around Gloucester County is as welcome as a reefer tractor; tell us the body type and the length of the box when you get in touch.

FMCSA’s carrier census also shows 13 local operators working only inside Virginia, 8 crossing state lines and 6 hauling their own goods privately. That census also logs 49 drivers working within 100 miles and 35 beyond it, so a truck may be sitting at a yard on the Peninsula rather than at home; either place works for collection.

The three biggest local operations listed with FMCSA run 25, 21 and 10 power units, while two new carriers registered in 2024 and two more in 2025. Whether you are selling one truck from a small start-up or several units from a larger outfit, send a list of VINs and where each one is parked.

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 38 trucks between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2015.5, with 55 percent of those trucks ten or more years old. Late-model and older tractors both fall within what we collect, so state the model year plainly with the VIN.

Among 7 carriers reporting it to FMCSA’s census, the median truck covered 33,853 miles a year. Note the odometer reading on the day you contact us and keep the service invoices in date order, since those two things answer most of what we will ask.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 1,520 jobs in Gloucester Point, 123 of them in construction and 75 in manufacturing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 62 construction establishments in the area, and their flatbeds, dumps and service bodies can be sold to us from the job site where they sit.

Gloucester County holds 135 farms growing corn, soybeans and wheat, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck parked on one of those farms can stay in the field lane for collection, provided the ground will carry a tow vehicle; tell us if it is soft after rain.

To the south, 18.6 miles away, the NEWPORT NEWS rail yard is recorded in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drayage tractors working that yard can be picked up in Newport News or back across the bridge in Gloucester Point, whichever is easier for you.

• My tanker sits by the Yorktown fuel terminal across the river rather than on the Gloucester side; is that spot within reach for pickup?The Energy Information Administration places the YORKTOWN petroleum product terminal 2.6 miles south-west of Gloucester Point, so a truck parked by it is within our reach. Send the terminal-side address plus the lot owner’s contact so the York River crossing can be planned.
• Which details should a Lee’s Pit dump-truck owner gather before contacting you?Lee’s Pit lies 7.6 miles south-west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and trucks that serve it are on our list. Start with the VIN, photos of the bed and hoist, and the title holder’s name.
• A Gloucester County truck title has vanished; which Virginia office handles a duplicate?Gloucester Point trucks are titled in Virginia, so a duplicate comes from the state’s title agency. Request it before we book collection and keep the registration card with the truck.
• Do you buy household goods and furniture trucks?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 5 household goods carriers among the 21 based in Gloucester Point, and their box trucks are among the vehicles we collect. Send the box length, the VIN and photos of the body and liftgate.
