Condition & logistics
Running vs Non-Running Trucks
We accept both running and non-running trucks! If your old truck can still make a trip around the block, it’s eligible for donation. But if it’s sitting in your driveway, don’t worry—we'll work with you.
Title Issues
Got a title issue? No problem! We can help navigate the paperwork, ensuring that your donation complies with North Carolina’s regulations. Just let us know what you're facing, and we’ll handle it.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Storing your truck can be a hassle. Whether it’s parked at your home in Glenwood South or in a commercial lot, we offer convenient pickup options. Just schedule a time that works for you!
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating any vehicle, including trucks, it’s essential to ensure the title transfer is handled correctly. In North Carolina, you’ll need to fill out a Notice of Transfer form, which can be found online or through your local DMV. Notarization is required for the title, so don’t forget to take care of that before the truck leaves your possession. And if you’ve got plates, make sure to return them to the DMV to avoid any future headaches!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your truck can lead to a nice tax deduction. Typically, you can expect a deduction in the range of $500 to the actual sale price if we sell it for more. After your donation, you’ll receive a Form 1098-C, which provides the necessary information for your tax return. Remember, it’s a win-win situation—your truck helps us support local charities while you benefit come tax season!
Local context — Raleigh
In Raleigh, trucks are more than just vehicles; they're a part of our lifestyle. Many residents donate their trucks due to common reasons such as downsizing from a larger vehicle, relocating for a job, or simply upgrading to something newer. The vibrant construction and service industries thrive here, leading to a steady stream of commercial vehicle donations. Whether it’s a work truck that’s seen its fair share of job sites or just a trusty pickup that’s lost its spark, our local community is always ready to give back.
