How to Donate Your Truck

Salute Veterans Inc. accepts trucks of all weights and configurations — half-ton pickups (F-150, Silverado 1500, Ram 1500), three-quarter and one-ton work trucks, dually setups, lifted off-road builds, and commercial fleet vehicles. Diesel and gas powertrains both accepted. Trucks with bed modifications, plows, ladder racks, or service bodies are fine.

The program also accepts commercial and vocational trucks — box trucks, dump trucks, flatbeds, tow trucks, and semi-tractors and Class 8 big rigs from Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack, Volvo, and International. On a tractor-trailer combination, the tractor unit is donated here; the semi-trailer is handled on our Trailer program. Net proceeds — after towing and auction fees — fund Salute Veterans Inc. programs in veteran employment, transition resources, and the nonprofit VeteransDirectory.org.

How It Works

Three Simple Steps

The process is built for trucks of every size from first contact through the tax acknowledgment. Pickup, paperwork, and title assistance are handled on our end.

01

Tell Us About Your Truck

Call to donate a vehicle at 1-888-324-2772 or complete the form with the make, model, class or type, condition, and location. Pickups through Class 8 big rigs are accepted, and title assistance is available where needed.

02

We Arrange Pickup

Trucks are driven or towed out from driveways, job sites, fleet yards, and storage — including heavy-duty transport for larger commercial units. Available anywhere in the United States at no cost to you.

03

Tax Acknowledgment in the Mail

After the truck sells at auction, your IRS tax acknowledgment arrives — showing the gross sale price, sale date, and Salute Veterans Inc.'s 501(c)(3) certification.

What We Accept

Every Type, Every Condition

Trucks across the full range — light- and heavy-duty pickups, work and vocational trucks, and commercial big rigs. Running or not, high-mileage, retired fleet units, and project trucks. On a tractor-trailer combination, the tractor unit is donated here; the semi-trailer is handled on our Trailer program.

Why Donate

Why Donate Your Truck

From a half-ton pickup to a retired Class 8 rig, a truck donation is a straightforward way to move a vehicle you no longer need while supporting veterans. Here is what sets the program apart.

Verified 501(c)(3)

Your donation supports Salute Veterans Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit under Tax ID 84-2016237. Every acknowledgment is IRS-compliant and fully documented.

Every Size Accepted

From half-ton pickups to semi-tractors and Class 8 big rigs, the program handles the full range — including heavy-duty transport for larger commercial units at no cost to you.

Running or Not

High-mileage trucks, blown engines or transmissions, body and frame rust, project trucks, and retired fleet units are all workable. Condition is rarely a disqualifier.

Fleet & Commercial Retirements

Retiring commercial or fleet trucks? Multiple units and end-of-service vehicles can be donated together — a simple way to clear a yard while supporting veterans.

Title Assistance Available

Missing paperwork is common on older and commercial trucks. We can guide you through duplicate title, registration, or bill-of-sale paths that vary by state before pickup.

Proceeds Fund Veteran Programs

Net proceeds — after transport and auction costs — support Salute Veterans Inc.'s veteran employment programs, transition resources, and the free national directory at VeteransDirectory.org.
