Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept trucks in a variety of conditions, including those that are running and those that have experienced mechanical issues. As long as the vehicle is not a total wreck, we want to help!
Title Issues
If your truck has any title issues, don’t stress! We’re experienced in dealing with Texas DMV regulations and can guide you through the process. Just reach out and we’ll get started.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Whether your truck is parked outside your home in the suburbs or at a local worksite, we offer convenient pickup options. Our team can arrange to collect the vehicle directly from you, making it easy to donate.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a truck in Texas, it’s crucial to handle the title transfer correctly. You'll need to complete the Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U) and have it notarized. We'll guide you through steps to ensure everything is compliant with TX DMV regulations. Remember to return your license plates, as they remain your property even after the truck is donated. Our team will make sure you have the right paperwork completed for a smooth donation process.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your truck can be a great way to earn a tax deduction. The typical range for trucks is between $500 to $5,000, depending on their condition and sale price. We will issue you a 1098-C form detailing your donation, which you can use when filing your tax return. Make sure to check with your tax advisor for specifics regarding the deduction!
Local context — Dallas
In the bustling city of Dallas, trucks often come from local businesses, tradespeople, and families downsizing from larger homes. Common reasons for donations include moving to a smaller place, getting a new vehicle, or simply upgrading after years of loyal service. With the thriving construction and service industry in DFW, it’s no wonder trucks are a big part of the local culture. As people transition to new opportunities, they find their old work trucks can do more good in the community than just sitting in a garage.
