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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Graham-Virginia, a crushed-stone quarry, 2.4 miles west of Lorton. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is often parked on the quarry side of town, so give us the exact yard address and the name of whoever can let us in.

A second stone operation, Manassas, sits 17.2 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of active quarries. If your truck splits its loads between the two pits, tell us which one it ends the week at, and have the title and current registration in the cab or in your hand when we arrive.

Two petroleum product terminals, Newington 2 at 2.8 miles and Newington at 3.2 miles, both north-east of Lorton, appear in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. Tractors that pull fuel tankers out of those racks belong on the list of what we purchase; photograph the cab, the fifth wheel and the tires so the pictures match what you tell us.

Further up the same line, Norfolk Southern TBT is a liquid bulk terminal 8.7 miles north-east, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Send any tank inspection certificates or service records you kept for runs to that terminal along with the photos.

Fort Belvoir lies 3.2 miles east of town, and Mark Center another military installation 10.5 miles north-east, both named by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a truck that delivers onto a base, tell us the address where it is parked when not working rather than where it unloads.

If the vehicle is stored inside a gated contractor lot near Fort Belvoir, arrange a contact who can open the gate on the day. Pickup happens at that lot, with the truck left right where you parked it.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 246 active motor carriers based in Lorton, with 134 of them hauling general freight, 35 moving motor vehicles, 30 carrying garbage and refuse, and 24 handling machinery and large objects. Car haulers, roll-off and packer trucks, and lowboy tractors all fit what we buy here, so name the body type when you first contact us.

Of those 246 carriers, 170 operate interstate and 76 stay inside Virginia, while 120 run as private fleets serving their own business, per the same FMCSA census. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the company rather than to you, so check whose name is on the title before we schedule anything.

Among Lorton carriers in the FMCSA census, one fleet lists 105 power units with 111 drivers, another 43 power units and 43 drivers, and a third 36 power units and 24 drivers. Selling several units at once is fine; send a list of VINs with each truck’s odometer reading and the address where each one is parked.

Drivers for carriers here split 631 working within 100 miles and 404 going beyond that radius, as recorded in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is out on a long run, tell us where it will be when it gets back rather than where it is today.

FMCSA reports a median of 20,000 miles per truck across the 103 Lorton carriers that filed mileage. Have the current odometer figure written down before you contact us, since it is one of the first things we ask.

In the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, construction makes up 1,302 of the 5,798 jobs in Lorton, or 22.5 percent. Contractors closing out a job with a dump, flatbed or utility truck they no longer need can send us photos straight from the site.

The same LEHD figures put 390 jobs in manufacturing, 362 in transportation and warehousing and 270 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and straight trucks from warehouse and supply work are in scope too; registration, title and any maintenance log are what we ask a seller in those trades to gather.

• I run a refuse truck for a Lorton hauler. Is that a truck you buy?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 30 Lorton carriers hauling garbage and refuse, and packer and roll-off trucks from that work are part of what we purchase.
• Our Lorton company titles its trucks as a private fleet, so what paperwork does a sale need?FMCSA lists 120 of the town’s carriers as private fleets; bring the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign for the business.
