Steps selling a truck and trailer

Well I'm officially retired. I made the decision and pulled the trigger. Looking forward to it, but now I'm selling my truck and trailer. I thought I would try something different and avoid the regular selling outlets for commercial equipment and I put them on Craigslist. 2019 KW T680 and 2019 Utility reefer with 245,000 miles on both. Asking price $210,000, and I paid $240,000 for them both new 3 years ago. The response was overwhelming. A guy just gave me $5,000 cash as a deposit and will have it paid by the end of the week.

Just curious if it would be better for me to remove my company graphics from the tractor or let them do it? If I do it, does a heat gun loosen decals? I've sold plenty of personal vehicles, but never a commercial one. I guess the title transfer works just like a car, sign the pink slips, write in new owner's info and mail it to DMV? Guess I'll need to deactivate my authority as well.

 

Thanks Joe. As soon as I starting reading here that people are starting to get their new trucks after waiting so long or getting delivery dates, I figured it was time to sell mine before the market flipped on used equipment. Looks like it paid off.

 

Not sure if it's possible. I've heard some on TTR say you can while others say you can't. Mine is only 3 years old, so it probably isn't worth much anyway.

 

Yeah I figured that was probably the best thing to do. That's all I need is my good name out there wreaking havoc.
