Why Choose Professional Truck Buyers Over Traditional Sales Methods
Most truck owners struggle with the time-consuming process of listing their trucks, dealing with multiple potential buyers, handling paperwork, and arranging transportation; especially for damaged or non-running trucks. Traditional sales methods through online marketplaces leave you managing every detail yourself: fielding calls from unqualified buyers, scheduling multiple inspections, negotiating prices, handling financing verification, and coordinating pickup logistics.
Kelly Truck Buyers eliminates these headaches entirely. Unlike online marketplaces where you deal with multiple buyers and handle all logistics yourself, we provide a single-point solution with immediate cash offers, professional evaluation, and complete handling of pickup and paperwork. When you call our number, you reach a human being in the Midwest (often a family member) who will help you navigate the process from start to finish.
Our Simple, Transparent Process
Step 1: Contact Us - Get a Human, Not a Machine
We have one number, and a member of our family literally tries to answer it at all hours. While we don't typically answer overnight calls (understanding that truckers sometimes drive overnights), you can either leave a message or fill out the simple form on our website, and someone will call you back ASAP. When you do reach us during business hours, you'll speak directly with someone, usually in the Midwest, who understands commercial trucks and can help connect you with the right buyer fast.
Step 2: Quick Evaluation - Same Day Service
Our phone evaluation typically happens the same day you call. We'll ask some basic and expected questions that any serious buyer needs to know: year, make, model, mileage, current condition and any known issues, location of the truck, and title status or ownership verification. Depending on your specific truck type, we may ask for photos of the exterior, interior, engine bay, hydraulics, dump bed, or other relevant features. Every commercial truck is different, and we ask the questions we need to establish accurate value.
Step 3: Immediate Offer - No Waiting Games
Because we know we have the best chance of buying trucks when we make the highest offer, we provide our best offer right then on the phone. We don't play games or start with lowball offers hoping to negotiate up. We recognize that people want to get the most possible for their equipment, and we may be one of several sales opportunities you're considering. Our offer is good for a full week, and we won't bug you again unless you ask for a callback.
Step 4: Fast Completion - 1-2 Days to Cash
If you accept our offer, we can usually schedule pickup and payment within one to two business days. Payment is normally by check at pickup, but we can work with whoever holds the paper or arrange bank transfers if necessary. As a licensed dealer, once we take the title, all liability transfers to us, protecting you from any future issues.
What Makes Kelly Truck Buyers Different
Family-Owned Values in a Corporate World
We're a true family business where the second generation now runs day-to-day operations, while the founders remain involved through ownership meetings at grandchildren's birthdays and Christmas celebrations. This isn't just marketing speak; when you call, you're most often speaking directly with a family member who has a personal stake in treating you right.
No Bait-and-Switch Tactics
We've maintained our A+ BBB rating for well over a decade because we aren't one of those companies that will change the offer when we arrive. We pride ourselves on keeping it simple and speaking straight. Whether your truck is destined for parts, repair and resell, auction, or different markets based on better demand or seasonality, we need to know the time and effort it will take to sell so we can make the best offer possible upfront.
Nationwide Coverage with Local Service
Based in the Midwest where we originally grew the business, we now buy commercial trucks nationally throughout the lower 48 states, always including free towing or removal services. Our regional knowledge combined with national reach means we can move your truck to the market where it has the highest value.
Complex Situations? No Problem
We can handle complicated sales involving liens and help get federal paperwork in order. We just ask that we get a clear and honest understanding of the liens and potential challenges we may encounter before we make an offer. Our experience with complex transactions means you don't have to navigate bureaucratic hurdles alone.
Who Sells to Kelly Truck Buyers
Our customers represent the full spectrum of commercial truck ownership:
- Owner-Operators often sell to us when retiring, facing health issues, or upgrading equipment. We understand the emotional attachment to a truck that's been your livelihood and treat both you and your equipment with respect.
- Fleet Managers liquidating mixed assets or replacing older vehicles appreciate our ability to handle multiple trucks and complex paperwork efficiently. We can evaluate entire fleets and provide package deals that simplify your asset management.
- Companies with Damaged Trucks from accidents or mechanical failures find our "any condition" policy invaluable. When repair costs exceed the truck's value, we provide a fast exit strategy.
- Businesses Needing Immediate Cash Flow can't afford to wait months for traditional sales processes. Our week-long offer guarantee and 1-2 day completion timeline provides the liquidity you need when you need it.
- Retirees looking to liquidate commercial equipment find our personal service and fair pricing ideal for transitioning out of business ownership.
- Seasonal Operations that need to adjust equipment based on changing demands rely on our quick turnaround to optimize their fleet composition.
We Buy Every Type of Commercial Truck
- Box Trucks and Delivery Vehicles
From small delivery trucks to large moving vans, we understand that box trucks retain value in their cargo capacity and hydraulic systems even when engines fail. The aluminum boxes, lift gates, and specialized interior configurations often have significant resale value to companies needing replacement parts or custom builds.
- Dump Trucks and Construction Equipment
Dump trucks offer value beyond their drivetrain through their hydraulic systems, dump beds, and heavy-duty chassis components. Even non-running units provide valuable hydraulics, PTO systems, and specialized dump bodies that construction companies need for repairs and rebuilds.
- Flatbed and Platform Trucks
The versatility of flatbed trucks means their specialized beds, winches, and tie-down systems maintain value independent of engine condition. These trucks often serve niche markets where the bed configuration is more important than the power unit itself.
- Semi-Tractors and Heavy Haulers
Class 8 tractors contain valuable components including engines, transmissions, differentials, and specialized equipment like fifth wheels and air systems. Even high-mileage or damaged units provide parts that keep other trucks running in an industry where downtime costs thousands per day.
- Specialty Service Trucks
Tow trucks, utility trucks, and service vehicles often have expensive specialized equipment (hydraulic systems, winches, tool boxes, and custom bodies) that retain significant value even when the base truck needs major repairs.
- Refuse and Sanitation Trucks
Garbage trucks and recycling vehicles have complex hydraulic systems and specialized bodies that are expensive to replace. The hydraulic components, compaction systems, and custom bodies often outlast the chassis and provide valuable parts for fleet maintenance.
- Concrete Mixers and Pumpers
These specialized vehicles contain expensive mixing drums, hydraulic systems, and pumping equipment that maintain value independent of the truck chassis. The specialized nature of this equipment creates a strong parts market for companies maintaining existing fleets.
- Emergency and Municipal Vehicles
Fire trucks, ambulances, and municipal service vehicles often contain specialized equipment, emergency systems, and custom modifications that have value to other municipalities, volunteer departments, or specialty vehicle builders.
- Food Service and Refrigerated Trucks
Refrigeration units, food service equipment, and insulated bodies retain value for restaurant supply, catering, and food distribution businesses. The specialized cooling systems and food-grade interiors serve markets beyond traditional trucking.
- Utility and Bucket Trucks
Aerial lift equipment, hydraulic systems, and specialized utility bodies maintain significant value for electrical, telecommunications, and tree service companies. The lift mechanisms and safety systems often outlast the truck chassis by years.
Why Timing Matters When Selling Commercial Trucks
Commercial truck values fluctuate based on seasonal demand, economic conditions, and industry trends. Construction equipment sees higher demand during building season, while refrigerated trucks peak during harvest and holiday shipping periods. Our market knowledge helps us make offers that reflect current conditions rather than outdated pricing guides.
Additionally, deteriorating trucks lose value quickly when sitting unused. Rust, vandalism, environmental damage, and component theft can rapidly erode value. Our fast turnaround protects you from these ongoing losses while providing immediate cash flow.
