Sell your semi truck for cash in Alpine the easy and convenient way

Just 3.6 miles west of Alpine, Turvey’s Granite Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls out of that pit is often parked close to it between loads, so give us the yard address and a gate contact and we arrange the collection there.

El Cajon Quarry, a crushed-stone site, is 9.5 miles south-west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, with LAKESIDE - VIGILANTE AGGREGATES 11.7 miles west and Santee Aggregates 15.8 miles west. If your truck has run between these sites, tell us which ones and what body it carries, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together.

Owners who haul aggregate down the hill often keep scale tickets and service logs in the cab. Pull those together with the title and the current registration before you contact us; the VIN and those papers answer most of what we ask about a quarry truck.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 168 active carriers in Alpine, and 152 of them are registered as intrastate operators against 16 that cross state lines. For a seller, that means the truck almost always sits inside California when we come for it, and a California title is the paper we will ask to see.

General freight is the most common cargo listed, at 49 carriers in the FMCSA census, followed by machinery and large objects at 20, motor vehicles at 14 and garbage and refuse at 8. Flatbeds and lowboys that move equipment, car carriers and roll-off or refuse bodies all fit what we purchase, so name the body type and trailer when you first write to us.

Private fleets account for 58 of the town’s carriers according to the same federal census, meaning a contractor or business hauling its own goods. If your truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, have the name on the title and someone who can sign for the company ready at pickup.

Three Alpine fleets run 19, 18 and 15 power units, with 11, 23 and 10 drivers respectively, under FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners of a fleet that size can sell one truck or several at once; send a list of VINs and where each unit is parked, and we work through them as a group.

Among 32 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median is 10,000 miles per truck in a year. Carriers here report 126 drivers working within 100 miles and 223 beyond that radius, according to the federal carrier census. Whether your truck stays local or ranges farther, give us the odometer reading alongside the VIN when you first get in touch.

New registrations were modest in recent years: FMCSA’s census shows 6 new carriers in 2024 and 4 in 2025. If you started up in either year and are now selling, keep your operating authority paperwork handy, since the title and registration should match the business name you registered under.

Roadside inspection records kept by FMCSA cover 54 trucks from Alpine carriers inspected between 2024-08-29 and 2026-08-19, with a median model year of 2016. In that same FMCSA inspection group, 44 percent were ten or more model years old.

If your truck appears in those inspection records, the reports themselves are useful to have on hand. Bring copies of recent inspection reports along with oil-change and service invoices, so the history of the truck is in one folder when we look at it.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 940 of Alpine’s 2,968 jobs in construction, a share of 31.7 percent, while transportation and warehousing account for 50 jobs. Dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers tied to building sites are the kind of vehicle we expect to hear about from sellers here.

Builders, excavators and other contractors make up 109 construction establishments around Alpine, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor closing out a job or trimming a yard can list every truck in one message, with the title status of each, and we schedule the collections site by site.

Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is 19.3 miles west and Camp Morena 16.6 miles south-east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations. Should your truck be stored on or near a base, check the access rules with the base before we schedule, and tell us who can escort a driver in.

The San Diego Unified Port sits 20.8 miles west in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ port listing, and the Energy Information Administration places the MISSION VALLEY petroleum product terminal 21.4 miles west. A tractor that pulls containers or fuel tankers between those sites can be collected at the port-side yard or back home in Alpine, wherever it is parked.

San Diego County also carries 4,031 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers. Box trucks and reefers that serve nurseries can be sold the same way: photos of the box and the refrigeration unit, the title and the registration.

• Does my dump truck have to leave its spot by Turvey’s Granite Pit before you collect it?Turvey’s Granite Pit is 3.6 miles west of Alpine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from yards like that one. Send the pit-side yard address plus whoever holds the gate key there.
• My Alpine truck’s pink slip has gone missing; who issues a duplicate?California’s title agency issues duplicate titles for trucks registered in Alpine, so a replacement comes from that state office. Start the request before you sell, and tell us where it stands when you contact us.
• Do you buy trucks that only operate inside California?Intrastate carriers make up 152 of the 168 active carriers in Alpine in FMCSA’s carrier census, and trucks that never leave the state are exactly what we collect here. Have the title and the current registration ready.
• Can I sell several trucks from my construction company at once?Construction accounts for 940 jobs in Alpine on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and contractors here can sell a whole group of trucks together. Send the VINs, titles and parking locations for each unit in one message.
