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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Seattle South Seattle intermodal ramp 3.7 miles north-east of SeaTac, and the North American Rail Network shows the Orillia yard just 2.9 miles east. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those two points can be collected from the lot where it is parked; send us the address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Further out, Renton Yard sits 4.6 miles east of town on the North American Rail Network, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Terminal 115 at the Port of Seattle, a roll-on/roll-off berth with its own intermodal ramp, 7.1 miles north-west. If your chassis puller is parked near that Port of Seattle berth, photograph the cab, frame and fifth wheel where it stands and send the pictures with the lot address.

Quality Transload Inc, a liquid bulk terminal, is 3 miles east of SeaTac according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor pulls tankers into a site like that, keep the tank inspection sheets and terminal paperwork with the title when you contact us.

The Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at Renton, 3.7 miles east. A fuel-hauling tractor parked at a terminal lot needs a site contact who can let us in; give us that name along with the VIN, the registration and the odometer reading.

General freight shows up on 220 of the 285 active SeaTac carrier records in FMCSA’s carrier census, and dry van tractors are a big share of what we see from town. The same FMCSA census shows 62 hauling intermodal containers, and refrigerated food and meat are each listed by 33, so reefer tractors and container rigs sit alongside dry vans in town.

Of those 285 carriers, 144 are registered for interstate work and 141 for intrastate work, with 65 running private fleets, on the same FMCSA census. Whichever kind of operation yours is, have the cab card and the current registration in hand, since both travel with the truck at pickup.

The three biggest SeaTac-based fleets in the federal carrier census run 30, 22 and 20 power units, with 25, 22 and 19 drivers. Most of the town’s carriers are smaller than that, so a single tractor sold by its owner is the usual shape of a sale here; one signature on the title is all we need from a sole owner.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA counts 19 carriers added in SeaTac in 2024 and 20 in 2025. If you started up in either year and are winding down, bring the lease or loan release along with the title so the lien is shown as cleared.

Drivers employed by SeaTac carriers split almost evenly by range, with 378 working within 100 miles and 331 going beyond, per FMCSA’s census records. Tell us whether yours is kept at a carrier’s yard in town or parked at a driver’s home, since that is the address we collect from.

Among the 105 SeaTac carriers that file yearly mileage with FMCSA, a typical tractor logs 30,000 miles, the median of their reports. Note your own annual figure and the current odometer reading in your first message, alongside clear photos of the dash.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 44,009 jobs in SeaTac, and 26,373 of them, or 59.9 percent, are in transportation and warehousing. Construction holds 1,764 more, and VASHON SAND AND GRAVEL, operating as CalPortland, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 7.1 miles south-west, so dump trucks and mixers are part of what we collect here too.

Washington’s Department of Ecology guidance shows enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standard as paused. Either way, a tractor you already own is sold to us with its Washington title and registration.

• My tractor sits in a lot by the South Seattle ramp; will you pick it up from that spot?The South Seattle intermodal ramp is 3.7 miles north-east of SeaTac on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we pick up from that lot. Give us the exact spot and a gate contact.
• I haul reefers out of SeaTac. Do you buy refrigerated rigs?Thirty-three SeaTac carriers list refrigerated food in FMCSA’s census, and their tractors are among the trucks we purchase. Include the reefer unit’s details and photos with the tractor’s.
• The Washington title for my SeaTac rig has gone missing; how do I sell without it?SeaTac sellers apply to Washington’s state title agency for a replacement title before the sale. Tell us when you have applied and we can line up the rest of the paperwork meanwhile.
• My dump truck is parked out at the CalPortland gravel site; will you come out there?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the CalPortland sand and gravel operation 7.1 miles south-west of SeaTac, well within where we collect. Tell us whether the truck is on site or at your yard.
