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

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the RICHMOND rail yard 1.4 miles east of the city and the SOUTH yard 3.1 miles to the south-east. If your tractor shuttles freight in and out of either yard, tell us which one and where the truck is usually parked, so we know which gate to use.

Two petroleum product terminals sit 2.4 miles east of Richmond, according to the Energy Information Administration. A tanker tractor that loads at those racks should come with its registration and any hazmat inspection records you hold; send them with photos of the tank and the cab.

North of town, Transflo CSXT appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 3.7 miles out. Trucks that move product between that transload and the fuel terminals east of the city are a short hop from each other, and either lot is a fine place for us to meet the truck.

SOUTH RICHMOND QUARRY, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 3.8 miles south-east of the city, puts dump trucks and tri-axles on local roads. If yours hauls aggregate from that pit, send the VIN, the title and a photo of the body raised, and tell us whether it is kept at the quarry or at your yard.

Down the James, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal 5.7 miles south-east, carrying both a roll-on/roll-off berth and a rail intermodal ramp. A day cab that drays containers off that ramp can be collected right at the terminal’s lot if you arrange gate access for us.

Owners who ran the river terminal route and have moved on can leave the tractor where it sits. Give us the address, a phone number for whoever holds the keys, and the title, and the sale is handled from wherever you are.

Of the 1,244 active Richmond carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 675 stay intrastate, 568 cross state lines and 298 haul for their own business as private fleets. Whichever group you belong to, have your USDOT number ready when you contact us so we can match the truck to its registration.

General freight is the cargo listed by 923 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, followed by paper products at 149, household goods at 148 and motor vehicles at 123. A moving-van straight truck, a car hauler and a dry-van tractor all fit what we purchase; tell us the body type in the first message.

New registrations keep arriving: the same FMCSA records show 140 carriers added in 2025 and 125 in 2024. A newer operator selling a first truck should gather the title, the current registration and any lease-release paper before we talk.

One carrier registered in Richmond reports 9,805 power units and 8,821 drivers to FMCSA, another 894 units and 1,653 drivers, and a third 522 units with 483 drivers. Fleet managers retiring several tractors at once can send us a single list of VINs and yard addresses.

Among 255 Richmond carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median is 25,000 miles per truck a year. The census also shows 10,377 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 6,929 beyond it. Note the odometer reading in your first message, alongside the VIN.

FMCSA roadside inspection records for 4,646 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2021, with 13.7% ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, the cab, frame and tire photos you send let us see the truck you describe.

Construction accounts for 7,241 of the city’s 174,706 jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, while manufacturing holds 5,463, wholesale trade 4,522 and transportation and warehousing 4,232. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from those trades are all welcome; tell us which job site the truck sits on.

Richmond has 578 construction firms and 21 warehousing firms on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns rolls. A contractor selling a truck registered to the business should have the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign for it.

• Our tri-axle stays at the SOUTH RICHMOND QUARRY pit between loads; can it be collected from there?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists that quarry 3.8 miles south-east of Richmond, and we collect it there once you tell us who manages the gate.
• Can you pick up a tractor at the Richmond Marine Terminal?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Port of Virginia’s terminal 5.7 miles south-east of the city, and we collect there; arrange access with the terminal and send us the lot location.
• The Virginia title for my Richmond-registered tractor is missing; what should I do first?Request a replacement from Virginia’s state title agency before the sale, and keep your registration card handy in the meantime so we can confirm the VIN.
