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

Norfolk International Terminals (NIT), an intermodal ramp the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 4.2 miles west of Norfolk, shares its location with the NORFOLK INTL TERM rail yard on the North American Rail Network. If your day cab has been pulling chassis in and out of NIT, it is probably parked near the terminal gates or at a yard nearby. Send us the address, the VIN and photos of the cab, the fifth wheel and the tires.

South-west across the Elizabeth River, the Portsmouth Empty Container Yard (PPCY) is 6.3 miles out, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also lists Hampton Roads as a strategic seaport 6.4 miles away. A tractor that shuttles empties between PPCY and the docks does not need to come back into Norfolk to be sold. Tell us which lot it is on and who can open the gate.

Of the 582 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Norfolk, 70 say they haul intermodal containers. If yours is one of them, have the title and the current registration in hand before you contact us, since those two papers are what the sale is built on.

General freight is the cargo 426 Norfolk carriers list in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 88 carry household goods and 80 move machinery and large objects. A moving van, a box truck or a lowboy tractor are all trucks we collect from this city. Tell us the body type and what it carried when you get in touch.

The same FMCSA census splits Norfolk’s carriers into 338 interstate and 244 intrastate operations, with 188 of them operating private fleets that haul their own goods. Private-fleet trucks often carry a company’s lettering; photos of both sides of the cab help us see exactly what we are collecting.

New registrations in Norfolk reached 82 carriers in 2025, up from 58 in 2024, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started an authority recently and are now selling the truck, keep your USDOT number and the title together so the paperwork lines up.

One Norfolk carrier in FMCSA’s census lists 944 power units and 1,567 drivers; two others list 295 units with 42 drivers and 225 units with 194 drivers. If you manage several trucks, send us a list of VINs with where each one is parked, and we can look at them together.

Across 136 Norfolk carriers that report mileage, the median comes to 16,075 miles per truck a year in FMCSA’s carrier census. That census also lists 1,593 drivers working within 100 miles, against 2,880 who go beyond that radius. A truck on long runs may be away from Norfolk when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be on the day.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 515 trucks inspected in the Norfolk area between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2019. Those same inspection records show about 24.9 percent of the trucks were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, the model year on the title and the VIN plate should match.

A Norfolk truck stopped at roadside will have left its owner a copy of that inspection report; file it beside the title. It is a record of the truck’s history in the owner’s own hands, and it answers questions before we have to ask them.

Transportation and warehousing account for 8,944 of Norfolk’s 130,869 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, or 6.8 percent.

Box trucks and tractors that deliver to warehouses and plants in town are trucks we take, wherever in Norfolk they sit.

A petroleum product terminal named NORFOLK sits 6.3 miles south of the city in the Energy Information Administration’s listings. Tractors that pull fuel tankers from a terminal like this are on our list; tell us whether the tank trailer is part of the sale or the tractor alone.
