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

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 381 active carriers based in Suffolk, 196 of them interstate and 185 intrastate. Whichever side of that line your authority falls on, have the title and current Virginia registration in hand before we talk; those two papers show who can sign the truck over.

Of those Suffolk carriers, 103 run private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. If your tractor or straight truck belonged to a private fleet, tell us which unit number it carried and send the service records the shop kept on it.

New registrations in Suffolk rose from 27 carriers in 2024 to 42 in 2025, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners who started up in the last two years and are now selling should check that the title has been moved out of any lender’s name, or bring the lien release with the title.

General freight is the listed cargo for 272 Suffolk carriers in the FMCSA census, with intermodal containers listed by 74. A day cab that has pulled chassis between Suffolk and the yards to the east is the kind of tractor we collect; send photos of the fifth wheel and the cab along with the VIN.

Fifty-four local carriers list motor vehicles as cargo and 52 list dry bulk commodities, the FMCSA census shows. For a car hauler, photograph the rack and ramps as well as the tractor; for a bulk trailer or dump, show the body and the hoist so we see the whole unit.

The three biggest fleets on record in Suffolk run 200, 87 and 73 power units, with 232, 72 and 47 drivers, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are selling several units out of a fleet that size, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we can plan the collection truck by truck.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,149 across Suffolk carriers, against 683 who go beyond that radius, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Most local trucks therefore sleep near home, so give us the yard address and a contact who can open the gate.

Among 96 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 17,707 miles a year, FMCSA’s carrier census records. Read the odometer before you call us and include it with the VIN; those two figures are the first things we ask for.

FMCSA roadside inspection records for 438 trucks stopped from August 2024 to August 2026 put Suffolk’s median model year at 2020, with 27.6 percent of those trucks ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the VIN plate photo and the registration card tell us what we need to start.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Chuckatuck Sand Pit and Audubon Sand Pit, both sand and gravel operations about 10.9 miles north of Suffolk. If your dump truck or tri-axle is parked at one of those pits, tell us which one and who runs the gate, and we will collect it there.

East toward Chesapeake, the Energy Information Administration lists the Chesapeake LPG Terminal at 18.5 miles and the Chesapeake petroleum product terminal at 18.8 miles. Tank trucks that load at those racks can be sold from where they stand; send the tank’s inspection paperwork with the title if you still have it.

Around 19.5 miles east, the South Branch rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that shuttle freight off that yard are a fit for us; note whether the truck sits inside a secured lot so we can arrange access.

Of 32,634 jobs in Suffolk in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 2,679 in transportation and warehousing and 2,097 in construction. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from that work all fit what we buy; send a photo of each side and the plate.

Suffolk has 171 construction establishments against 13 warehousing ones in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor selling a truck that sits on a job site can leave it there, as long as someone on site can meet our driver.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 231 farms in Suffolk, with cotton, soybeans and corn as the top crops. Grain trucks and module haulers that spend most of the year parked on a farm can be collected from the farm itself; give us directions from the nearest named road.

• I drove for one of Suffolk’s private fleets and now own the truck; which papers do I bring?With 103 private fleets on file for Suffolk in FMCSA’s carrier census, fleet-shop paperwork is common here: bring the title in your name, the Virginia registration and any service records from that shop.
