Condition & logistics
Running Trucks
If your truck is still running, we can easily arrange a pickup. High mileage is never a problem—many of our donors are surprised at how much they can help others with a reliable vehicle.
Non-Running Trucks
Even if your truck isn’t running, we’ll take it off your hands! Our team is equipped to handle non-operational vehicles, so don’t worry if it’s been sitting for a while.
Title and Pickup Logistics
We handle all title transfer paperwork! If you’ve misplaced your title, we can guide you through the DMV process. Just let us know where your truck is parked, and we'll coordinate a convenient pickup.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Alabama, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Alabama Vehicle Title Application (Form MVT 5-2) and may require notarization. Be sure to return license plates to the DMV, as you don’t want those lingering once you’ve made your donation. Our team will provide you with all the specific information you need to make this process seamless and stress-free.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you can typically expect a tax deduction in the range of $500 to the fair market value of the vehicle. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which details your donation and helps you claim your deduction come tax time. Remember, your generosity not only benefits you with possible tax breaks but also supports vital local charities.
Local context — Mobile
In Mobile, trucks are more than vehicles; they’re a way of life. Many donors come from the local shipping industry, downsizing their fleets or simplifying their lives after a big move. Others are upgrading to newer models, or simply needing to part with a truck that failed inspection. With the warm, welcoming culture here, it’s no surprise that residents want to give back. By donating, you're also helping fund local initiatives that make this city a great place to live and work.
