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

Antioch sits on the eastern edge of Contra Costa County, between the Du Point and Pittsburg rail yards and the quarries around Clayton and Byron, and the trucks that work it haul freight, cars, containers and aggregate.

Selling a truck in Antioch? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Trucks around the Du Point and Pittsburg rail yards

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Du Point Yard 3.6 miles north-east of Antioch. If your tractor shuttles loads to and from that yard and is parked near it, give us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we collect it there.

Pittsburg Yard lies 6.4 miles to the north-west on the North American Rail Network. For a day cab that spends its shifts between the two yards, photograph the registration card beside the VIN plate so both arrive with your first message.

Quarries and terminals

Clayton stone, Byron gravel and the asphalt terminal

West of town, Mine Safety and Health Administration records list the Clayton Plant crushed-stone quarry at 8.6 miles and Clayton Aggregates at 9.2 miles. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that load rock there are trucks we buy, and a short list of the sites the truck served helps us ask the right questions about it.

To the south-east, Kellog Creek Aggregates sits 10.5 miles away and the G3 Enterprises Byron Plant 10.6 miles away, both sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register. If your truck is parked at one of those pits, tell us whose ground it stands on so the pickup can be cleared with them.

Lind Marine, an industrial-mineral mine, is 8.2 miles north-west by the same agency’s listing, and the Energy Information Administration places the Pittsburgh Asphalt petroleum product terminal 7.6 miles west. Tankers and end dumps that serve sites like these should come with the site inspection or service records you have kept, plus photos of the frame, tires and fifth wheel.

General freight, car haulers and container rigs in Antioch

General freight is the listed cargo for 286 of the 613 active Antioch carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. Whatever kind of freight yours carried, a clear title in your name and the current registration are the two papers to find first.

Forty carriers here list intermodal containers and another forty list motor vehicles, while 33 list driveaway or towaway work, according to the same federal census. Car haulers and container chassis rigs fall inside what we purchase; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a few photos of the deck or the chassis.

On FMCSA’s carrier census, 507 of the Antioch carriers run intrastate only, 106 cross state lines and 118 operate as private fleets. If your authority is intrastate, the truck is most likely parked within the county, and that is where we arrange the collection.

Local runs and longer hauls from eastern Contra Costa

Antioch carriers report 849 drivers working within 100 miles and 626 driving beyond that radius, in FMCSA’s census. If your truck is out on a longer run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked at the end of the trip and we plan the pickup there rather than in town.

Across 138 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median truck covered 26,500 miles a year. Have the current odometer figure written down before you contact us, since it is one of the first two things we ask.

Antioch fleet ages and the three biggest fleets

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 396 trucks run by Antioch carriers, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2018, with 30 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the title, registration and any service records you kept are what we look at first.

The three biggest local fleets on the federal carrier census run 117, 61 and 54 power units. Fleet owners selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and lot addresses, and we arrange the collections from it.

Antioch job sites, plants and Contra Costa ranches

Construction holds 1,465 of the 24,364 jobs in Antioch in 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 871 in manufacturing and 605 in transportation and warehousing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 208 construction establishments here; dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those job sites are trucks we buy.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 405 farms in Contra Costa County, with cattle, flower seeds and bulbs at the top of the list. A livestock hauler or farm truck parked on a ranch can stay there; give us directions to the gate and a phone number for whoever will be on site.

Clean truck rules and your sale

The California Air Resources Board lists the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements as repealed, and its Advanced Clean Trucks regulation as contested. If you hold paperwork from earlier compliance reporting for your truck, keep it with the title so it travels with the sale.

A federal court filing in the Eastern District of California records enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty sales requirement as paused. None of these rules stops you selling a truck you own outright; the title and registration in your name are what the sale rests on.

The questions we get asked in Antioch

  • Can you collect a dump truck that sits at the Clayton Plant rock quarry west of Antioch?Yes, we collect it on site: Mine Safety and Health Administration records put the Clayton Plant 8.6 miles west of Antioch. Tell us who runs the quarry so the pickup is cleared with them.
  • My Antioch authority covers California hauling only and never crosses state lines; can I still sell the tractor to you?You can, and you would be one of 507 intrastate-only Antioch carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census; the title, the registration and the VIN are what we need from you.
  • I haul cars out of Antioch on a stinger rig; will you take it off my hands?We will, since FMCSA’s carrier census lists 40 Antioch carriers hauling motor vehicles and those rigs are trucks we buy; send photos of the deck and ramps along with the VIN.
