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

College Place, the Walla Walla County town just south-west of Walla Walla, is home to 31 active motor carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is one of them, keep your USDOT number handy when you call, and we will match the truck to the operation it was registered under before we talk about collection.

Of those 31, the federal census counts 21 that run as private fleets, meaning they haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. A private-fleet truck in College Place is often a box truck, a reefer straight truck or a tractor parked at the business it serves, so tell us the business address and we will plan the pickup at that yard.

Thirteen carriers here are registered for interstate work and 18 for intrastate work, by the same FMCSA count. If your truck crossed into Oregon on regular runs, have its IRP cab card and any apportioned plates together; if it stayed inside Washington, the state registration alone is what we will ask to see.

General freight is the cargo class most College Place carriers list, with 21 of them on FMCSA’s census, and dry vans and flatbeds behind tractors are the usual equipment for that work. Send photos of the tractor’s cab, frame and fifth wheel together with the VIN, and say whether a trailer goes with it or stays behind.

On FMCSA’s carrier census, 7 local carriers list refrigerated food and 7 list meat. If you are selling a reefer unit or a tractor that pulled one, tell us the make of the refrigeration unit and bring its service log if you kept one, since that unit is a separate machine from the truck.

Another seven carriers here register for garbage, refuse and trash, a count that comes from the same FMCSA census. Roll-off trucks, rear loaders and side loaders all fit that work; tell us the body type and its builder, and whether the body is staying on the chassis, so the person collecting it brings the right equipment.

The three biggest fleets based in College Place run 9, 7 and 3 power units, with 10, 7 and 3 drivers, as FMCSA’s carrier census records them. With fleets that size, selling one tractor is usually a decision the owner makes in person, and we deal with that owner directly rather than with a purchasing office.

If you run a fleet of seven or nine units and want to sell several at once, list each VIN with its title status in one message. We can arrange to collect them from a single yard on one visit, or from separate addresses around town if the trucks are spread out.

New carriers keep registering in small numbers: FMCSA shows 2 new College Place carriers in 2025 and 1 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still financed, have your lender’s name and its lien release paperwork ready; the title moves to us once the lien is released.

Eleven College Place carriers gave FMCSA a yearly mileage, and the middle truck among them logs 12,500 miles. Read the odometer before you contact us and include that figure with your photos, so the first conversation starts from the truck’s actual reading.

That figure sits alongside the town’s mix of private fleets and intrastate operators in the FMCSA carrier census. Whatever your truck’s routes were, give us the address where it is parked now; we come to College Place, to a farm outside town or to a yard in Walla Walla to collect it.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 894 farms in Walla Walla County, with wheat, corn and equine listed as the leading products. A grain truck, a tractor that hauled bulk loads at harvest, or a truck that moved horses may be parked on a farm rather than in town, and that is where we pick it up.

When a truck sits out on farm ground, tell us whether the lane to it is gravel or dirt and whether a gate needs opening. A name and phone number for whoever is on the farm that day lets the collection go ahead even if you are elsewhere.

Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or to the farm as a business, so check whose name is on the title before you call. If the title names a farm partnership or an estate, the person signing needs the paperwork that shows they can sign for it.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,312 jobs in College Place in 2023, 69 of them in construction, about 3 percent. County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, records 15 construction establishments here, and dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds that served those contractors are trucks we collect from job yards as well as driveways.

Walla Walla’s rail yard lies 2.7 miles north-east of College Place on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked near the yard or at a business beside it, that short distance is no obstacle; give us the street address and the name of whoever controls access to the lot.

If the title to a College Place truck is lost, the state’s title agency in Washington is where a replacement is issued, and the request is made by the owner on record. Start that before you sell, or tell us at the outset so we know the replacement title is on its way.
