Running vs. Not Running
Both operational and non-operational trucks are welcome! We believe that every truck can contribute, whether it’s still making deliveries or needs a little TLC.
Title Issues
Don't worry if you've lost your title or it’s a bit complex. We specialize in handling title issues and will guide you through the process, ensuring everything’s legal and above board.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
Got a truck taking up space? We can arrange for free towing in Memphis! Just let us know where it's parked, and we’ll coordinate a pickup that fits your schedule.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Tennessee, transferring a truck title is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Title Application (Form RV-F1315201) and sign it in the presence of a notary. Luckily, our team at Rides for Pride is well-versed in the DMV procedures and can help you with all the necessary paperwork. Remember, if there are any outstanding plates, they should be returned to the DMV to avoid hassle later on.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your generous truck donation could qualify you for a tax deduction within the range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the details of your donation and helps you maximize your deduction. It’s a win-win: you help a good cause, and you may benefit come tax season!
