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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 275 active carriers based in Redmond, and 230 of them stay inside Washington while 45 cross state lines. If your truck has only worked intrastate, have the Washington registration and title in your name ready; that pair is what the paperwork turns on.

Of those 275, the federal carrier census counts 186 as private fleets, meaning the trucks haul a company’s own goods rather than freight for hire. If the truck you are selling is titled to a business, tell us who can sign for that business so the title transfer is not held up waiting for a signature.

General freight is the commonest cargo listed, with 129 carriers, followed in FMCSA’s census by 33 hauling machinery and large objects, 26 hauling garbage and refuse, and 23 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber. A lowboy tractor, a roll-off or a log truck from one of those outfits is the kind of truck we collect here; send photos of the body or trailer gear as well as the cab.

Redmond carriers report 788 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 220 driving beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. For a short-haul truck, the likely pickup point is the yard it returns to each night, so give us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

The three biggest fleet registrations here each list 15 power units in the FMCSA census, with 15, 15 and 13 drivers. Owners selling one unit out of a small fleet like that should pull its VIN, plate and service records from the rest of the fleet’s file before we talk.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-08-28 to 2026-08-26 cover 88 Redmond-based trucks, with a median model year of 2020 and 21.6 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever the year of yours, the VIN and the odometer reading are the first two things to send.

Among 48 carriers reporting annual mileage, FMCSA’s census gives a median of 13,626 miles per truck. Have the current odometer reading written down along with the title so the numbers on both match when we check them.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Issaquah Pit & Plant, a sand and gravel operation 10 miles south-east of Redmond, and Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry 11.6 miles north-east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate from sites like these are trucks we buy; if yours is parked at a pit, tell us who controls access.

Redmond workers hold 2,887 construction jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while 188 construction establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for the city. If your truck was registered to a contractor, bring the bill of sale or title that moved it into your name, so ownership is clear before pickup.

Terminal 30 (T-30), 12.3 miles west, and Seattle International Gateway (SIG), 12.4 miles south-west, are the two rail intermodal ramps the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists nearest Redmond. A day cab that has pulled containers off those ramps can stay parked where it is in Seattle; we come to it, so give us the lot address and a contact on site.

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, COACH and COACH YARD are rail yards about 11.9 and 12 miles south-west of town. If your truck sits in a yard near either, note any gate hours, so the collection can be booked around them.

The Energy Information Administration places the Shell Seattle Terminal 12.9 miles west and the Harbor Island petroleum product terminal 13 miles south-west. For a tractor that has pulled fuel tankers from those terminals, list the tank trailer separately if it is part of the sale, with its own VIN and plate.

Of 31 bridges in Redmond in the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory, none is load-posted and one clears under 14 feet: Old Redmond Road over 138th Ave NE, at 9ft 10in. If a tall truck or a loaded trailer is parked near there, tell us the street so the pickup route avoids that crossing.

Washington’s Department of Ecology guidance shows enforcement paused on the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and on the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standards under WAC 173-423-081, while its updated regulatory guidance for those rules is in force. A diesel truck sold here still changes hands on its title and registration, so have both ready.

• My end-dump has been sitting at the Issaquah Pit & Plant lot since the last job there, so can you collect it from the pit itself?We will, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists that sand and gravel operation 10 miles south-east of Redmond; tell us who on site can let us in.
• Can you collect a refuse truck from a Redmond yard?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 26 Redmond carriers hauling garbage and refuse, and those packers are part of what we buy; send the VIN, the title and photos of the body.
• Does it matter that my truck only ever ran inside Washington?It makes no difference: FMCSA’s census lists 230 of Redmond’s 275 carriers as intrastate, and a truck that never left the state sells the same way, on a Washington title in your name.
• Will the low bridge carrying Old Redmond Road affect collecting my tractor?Only the route; the National Bridge Inventory records 9ft 10in of clearance where it crosses 138th Ave NE, so tell us if your truck is parked on that side of the crossing and the driver plans around it.
