Sell My Dump Truck
Dump trucks hold their value better than most vocational equipment, and Kelly Truck Buyers purchases them across every configuration: single axle, tandem, and tri-axle. The workhorse of the group, the tandem-axle Class 8 dump, generally trades somewhere between $30,000 and $140,000, with most transactions landing in the $50,000 to $130,000 range for trucks carrying 80,000 to 250,000 miles. Your spec decides where in that band your truck sits.
What makes a dump truck worth more
Axle count is only the beginning. Body material makes a real difference, since aluminum saves weight and lets you haul more per load than steel. Hoist type, PTO setup, a working tarp system, and whether the truck is plumbed and wired for a plow all add value in the right market. Brand carries weight as well: PACCAR-powered Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, along with the Mack Granite, tend to command a premium and move quickly.
Selling a seasonal or work-hardened dump
Construction and hauling are tough on equipment, and a dump truck that has spent years on job sites will show it. That is expected. Frame condition, the state of the box floor, and the drivetrain matter more to a buyer than cosmetic wear. Sell it as it sits rather than sinking money into paint or patchwork.
Contractors, excavators, and municipalities
Whether you are rotating equipment, finishing a project, or trimming a municipal fleet, Kelly can value a single truck or several at once. Jim handles the commercial numbers and can tell you what your dump is worth once he has the year, make, axle setup, body, and mileage. Call 800-790-1686 to get started.
