HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps. No Surprises.
The whole point of selling to a direct buyer is that it's simple. Here's the entire process.
Tell Us About It
Fill out the one-minute form or call. Year, make, condition, title — that's all we need to start.
Get a Firm Offer
We may come out to see your truck in person or we may ask for detailed pics and videos that may allow us to establish an offer over the phone
Get Paid at Pickup
We come to you anywhere in all 50 states, handle the title work.
Send photos and a short video, and we can usually work from those. If we need a closer look, we set up an inspection at your yard. Mileage, engine hours and the title are what we look at; there is no hidden checklist. Once we agree on a number, the bill of sale is a one-page agreement and the money moves as soon as the title is in our hands. Payment is fast once we agree on a price.
Before you start

A figure in mind

What Our Sellers Say
★★★★☆ 4.5 stars · 32 Google reviews
“I had a great experience selling my truck to this company. They were honest, easy to deal with, and kept me informed throughout the process. Everything went smoothly, payment was made as agreed, and there were no surprises. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy buyer.”
“Recently sold my truck to Big Ugly Truck and after a quick appraisal, I received the exact amount that I thought was a fair price that I could get for it. The owner was very professional, and easy to work and communicate with. Thank you sir, big thumbs up.”
“Mr. Ronnie was very professional and reached out to us the same evening we inquired about selling our tractor-trailer. He made the entire process simple and hassle-free. He provided us with a fair appraisal, traveled to us the very next day, and purchased our truck for cash exactly as promised. The entire transaction was smooth, quick, and professional. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their truck!”
“Mr. Hodges was very professional and not aggressive as I expected someone who is buying something from you to be. He explained the process and made everything easier. I had all sorts of bad ideas about people getting your vehicle and then you lost it and didn't get your money. This wasn't the case with Mr. Hodges he stayed until the money showed up on my bank account. I really appreciated him being so nice. I will recommend this company and Mr. Hodges to anyone who is looking to sell a truck.”
