We buy trucks in Anchor Bay

Ugly ones welcome. Pretty ones too.

Log trucks, timber rigs, flatbeds, dump trucks and pickups — whatever shape it’s in, as long as it’s all there. We buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or we come to you, and you are paid in cash or by electronic payment.

Have these ready and it goes faster

The keys
The thing people most often cannot find on the day.
Photos, all the way round
Every side, the whole interior including the odometer, and the engine from both sides.
A short video, if it runs
Thirty to sixty seconds of the engine running, hood open. The open hood is the part that makes it evidence.
A figure in mind
Have an idea in mind of about how much you want for your truck. It helps the process move faster.

We buy complete trucks. If the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

What the record says

One row, and it is a station in caretaker status

A single row carries this place: the Point Arena Air Force Station, whose status field reads caretaker and whose coordinate reverse-geocodes into Mendocino County. Caretaker describes a property’s standing, not its traffic, and current use was not established.

So there is no freight case to make here and we are not going to invent one. A page that counted that row as an active installation would be counting a filing convention, which is a mistake this project has already paid for elsewhere.

So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. This is the Mendocino County coast: timber country behind a working shoreline, which puts log trucks and timber rigs on the road along with flatbeds, dump trucks on groundwork, and pickups and work trucks everywhere. Point Arena and Fort Bragg carry pages of their own, and the distances up this coast are why we usually buy remotely and arrange the move.

California weight law

The weight table here is not the federal one

That is state law rather than anything local, and it is the rule truck sellers misquote most often. CVC sections 35550 to 35558 set a statutory range of 34,000 to 80,000 lb by axle count and spacing, and § 35551(a) is a table rather than the federal Bridge Formula — no formula is declared in the statute at all.

The California table does not exactly match the Federal Bridge Table, including at three and four axles. So a configuration that is legal under one can be over under the other, and “it makes bridge formula” is a claim about which table you mean. If someone has told you your truck makes it, that is worth knowing before you repeat it.

California paperwork

No percentage, because the law does not have one

That same code book handles what damage does to a title, and California is unusual in how it does it. CVC § 544 defines a total loss salvage vehicle as one that the owner, a leasing company, a financial institution or an insurer considers uneconomical to repair, and which is consequently not repaired. There is no number in the law.

Most California insurers work to internal thresholds of somewhere around 70 to 75 percent of actual cash value. Those are company policies, not statute, and they must not be read as a legal threshold — the same damaged truck can brand in Kentucky, run a formula in Georgia, and be a judgement call here.

Advanced Clean Fleets is the other rule people ask about, and it is moving the other way. CARB voted on 25 September 2025 to repeal its drayage and high-priority fleet requirements, final action is due by 31 August 2026, and repeal is expected to take effect on 1 January 2027. CARB has agreed to take no enforcement action for conduct from 1 November 2023 until that final action, and the suspension is the operative fact today.

Questions we actually get

The four that come up every time

Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the DMV and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.

What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. California sets no percentage: CVC § 544 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck.

How does it get collected, and how am I paid? There is no clock on any of this. Out here the common one is that we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, so the sale does not wait on anybody driving out. We also come to you and drive it away, come to you and tow it, or you drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
