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

Lakeside sits in Henrico County just north of Richmond, with the ACCA rail yard and the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal both about two miles to its south, so the tractors, tankers and dump trucks that work here rarely sit far from a rail siding.

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

ACCA yard and the Transflo CSXT tank transfer

Just 1.9 miles below Lakeside, the ACCA rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A day cab that shuttles freight between that yard and Henrico warehouses is the kind of tractor we collect, and it can stay parked wherever it last dropped a trailer; send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

Two miles south, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Transflo CSXT terminal moves liquid bulk between railcars and road tankers. If your tractor pulled tank trailers off that transfer, keep its registration, the title and any hazmat or tank inspection records together, and photograph the fifth wheel and the tractor plate so we can match the unit to the paperwork.

A second yard, also named RICHMOND on the North American Rail Network, lies 6.1 miles south. Tell us which of the two yards your truck worked from when you first call; it helps us plan the route to the lot where it is now standing.

Petroleum racks on the south-east side of Richmond

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the name RICHMOND, at 6.6 and 6.7 miles south-east of Lakeside. Fuel tankers loading at those racks are vehicles we buy, with or without the tank trailer attached, so let us know at the outset whether the trailer is part of the sale.

For a tanker that ran fuel out of those terminals, gather the title, the cab card and the most recent annual and tank test reports before we talk. Clear photos of the VIN plate, the tank’s data plate and the odometer let us confirm the details without a second visit to the terminal lot.

South Richmond Quarry and Henrico construction crews

South Richmond Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, sits 8.8 miles south of town. Dump trucks and tri-axles hauling aggregate from that pit are on our list, and if yours is still parked inside the quarry gate we can arrange collection there once you tell us who signs vehicles out.

Construction accounted for 487 of the 4,818 jobs located in Lakeside in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, or 10.1 percent. A contractor with a mixer, a roll-off or a stake-bed truck sitting at a job site can sell it from that site; give us the location, gate hours and the title holder’s name.

If the dump body, plow mount or other equipment was added after the truck left the factory, list it in your first message alongside the build sheet if you still have it. That way we know exactly what is coming with the chassis.

Wholesale trade and box trucks in Lakeside

Wholesale trade employed 713 people working in Lakeside in 2023, which the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put at 14.8 percent of local jobs. Box trucks, reefers and straight trucks that run between distribution floors and loading docks are the kind we purchase here, including those still backed up to a dock door.

Manufacturing added another 256 jobs, 5.3 percent of the total in the same LEHD figures for 2023. A plant that wants to clear out a yard tractor or a delivery truck can hand us one title per unit, a list of VINs and a single contact on site, and we work through the lot from there.

Port and river

Port of Virginia at the Richmond Marine Terminal

Eleven miles south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal as both a roll-on/roll-off terminal and a rail intermodal ramp. Tractors that pull chassis and containers between that ramp and Henrico warehouses can be collected from a drayage lot by the terminal as easily as from a driveway in Lakeside.

Have the title in hand, or tell us if a lender is still listed on it, and note whether the truck carries a port access decal or transponder that needs removing before it leaves. Photos of each side of the cab, the frame rails and the tires round out what we need to start.

Barns and hives

Henrico soybean, honey and cattle farms

Henrico County had 84 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, honey and cattle at the top of its list. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds used on those farms can be picked up from the barn or field lane where they are kept.

For a farm truck, the title and registration matter more than anything else; if it has been on farm plates, say so up front. A few photos taken in daylight, plus a note on any hoist, rack or livestock body, are enough for us to begin.

The questions we get asked in Lakeside

  • My tanker is parked by the Transflo CSXT terminal south of Lakeside. Must I haul the tanker back to my driveway before you collect?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal two miles south of Lakeside, and we collect from there directly. Tell us whose lot the tanker sits on so pickup can be cleared with them.
  • My tri-axle carries stone out of South Richmond Quarry. Would you collect the tri-axle straight from the pit?South Richmond Quarry is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 8.8 miles south of town, and dump trucks working that pit are among the trucks we purchase. Pass along the VIN, whose name is on the title and the quarry or yard where it sits.
  • My tractor pulls containers from the Richmond Marine Terminal. Can the truck be collected near the port?The Richmond Marine Terminal’s intermodal ramp, on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, lies 11 miles south of Lakeside, and a tractor parked anywhere near it can be collected in place. Share the lot address near the terminal and the person who controls access to it.
  • What paperwork should a Henrico farm have ready to sell a grain truck?With 84 farms counted in Henrico County by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, a grain truck here may be on farm registration, so say so. Have the title, the current registration and a list of anything bolted to the bed ready when you contact us.
