In Tennessee, your truck is more than just a vehicle—it’s a workhorse, an adventure companion, or just a trusty friend that gets you from Point A to Point B. Whether you’ve been hauling materials for a construction project in Nashville or taking the family on weekend getaways to the Great Smoky Mountains, we know your truck has stories to tell. When it comes time to part ways, consider donating it to Volunteer Wheels.
We’re here to simplify the donation process, whether you’re located near a bustling marina in Chattanooga or a quiet RV park in the suburbs. We accept all types of trucks, including those with high miles. We handle everything from towing to the tricky title paperwork, so you can focus on what matters most—making a difference in your community.

- Pickup Trucks (running condition preferred)

Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running trucks. If your truck is still drivable, that's great! If it’s not, we'll still take it off your hands for parts or recycling.
Title Issues
Worried about title issues? Don't be! We handle all the necessary paperwork so you can relax while we take care of the details.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Schedule a free pickup at your convenience. Whether it's parked in your driveway or in storage, our team will work with you to get it picked up hassle-free.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Tennessee, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward. You'll need to complete the standard DMV form for vehicle transfer. If you’re unsure, we can guide you through the paperwork, ensuring everything is filled out correctly. Please note, titles must be notarized before being submitted, so having your signature verified will save you time. Don’t forget to remove your license plates before the truck is picked up—they’re yours to keep!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate a truck to Volunteer Wheels, you can expect a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on how your truck is utilized. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which details your donation for tax purposes. It’s a simple way to give back to the community while benefiting yourself come tax time!
Local context — Tennessee
Trucks in Tennessee come from all corners of the state—from the bustling streets of Memphis to the rustic backroads of the Smokies. Whether you're downsizing after a big life change or relocating to a new city like Murfreesboro, many drivers find themselves with a truck they no longer need. Local culture, such as our love for outdoor adventures and community service, drives generous donations from those wanting to give back while also clearing out that old work truck taking up space.
