Benton Park sits on the south side of Bakersfield in Kern County, with a rail yard, fuel terminals and a refinery’s liquid bulk dock all inside four miles, and sand pits and dairy country spread out beyond them.

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

South Bakersfield rail

Two Bakersfield Yard entries north of Benton Park

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a Bakersfield Yard 1.7 miles north of Benton Park. If your tractor shuttles loads to and from that yard, give us the street address or the lot name where it is parked when you first get in touch.

The same North American Rail Network map shows a second Bakersfield Yard entry 3.5 miles to the north-east. If your day cab pulls between both yards, tell us which one it usually ends its shift at, and leave the registration card in the cab so the plate and VIN can be matched at collection.

Drivers who work rail drayage out of either yard often keep logbooks or dispatch sheets; send any service records from that paperwork along with a few photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel.

Fuel and refining

Fuel racks north of Benton Park and the Tricor dock

Two petroleum product terminals listed as Bakersfield by the Energy Information Administration stand 3.5 miles from Benton Park, one due north and one to the north-west. Tank tractors and fuel trailers that load at those racks are the kind of equipment we purchase, and we collect from where they are parked rather than asking you to move them.

Tricor Refining, a liquid bulk terminal 3.6 miles north on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, is the other petroleum site this close to the neighbourhood. If your truck has hauled for that dock, say so up front, and gather any inspection reports or site safety sheets you were issued, since those travel with the title.

For a tanker unit, send pictures of the tank barrel, the valves and the plate data along with the tractor itself. A clear photo of the VIN plate on each piece lets us confirm the tractor and trailer are the ones on the paperwork.

Pits east and south-west of town

Sand and gravel to the east and south-west

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Edison Sand Pit 14.2 miles east of Benton Park. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors running from that pit may sit at the pit gate or at a home yard in town at the end of the week; either spot works for a pickup, provided someone can let us in.

Farther out, San Emidio Plant, a sand and gravel operation 22.5 miles to the south-west in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, draws trucks toward the southern end of the valley. If your rig is parked out there, tell us the gate hours and the name of whoever holds the key.

Aggregate trucks are often titled to a small business rather than a person. Have the company name exactly as it reads on the title, plus a signature from someone authorised to sign for it.

Dairy, beef and gin trucks

Hauling for Kern County dairies and ranches

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,691 farms across Kern County, with milk, cattle and cotton as the leading products by sales. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and module trucks from that farm economy are all trucks we take, wherever they are parked on a ranch or at a gin.

A truck stored on farmland needs a clear route in for our collection rig. Tell us about gates, soft ground and the nearest paved road to Benton Park or the farm, and send a pin for the exact spot if the address alone will not find it.

Farm trucks sometimes carry agricultural registration rather than standard commercial plates. Send a photo of the current registration so we know which kind it is before the paperwork is drawn up.

Owner and title

Small employers, single owners

In 2023, Benton Park held 330 jobs, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A neighbourhood that size means most trucks here are owned by an individual operator or a small outfit, and the person selling is usually the person whose name is on the title.

If that title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, so start that request before you contact us. Tell us at the outset if a lender is still listed, so the lien release can be handled along with the sale.

Zero-emission rules and a Benton Park truck

The California Air Resources Board’s own amendment notice lists the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation as contested, and a federal court filing shows enforcement paused on the 2036 requirement that all medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission. Neither status changes what we buy from Benton Park owners.

On its rulemaking page, the Air Resources Board shows the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements as repealed. Owners who held a tractor back while that rule was pending can bring it to us on the same terms as any other truck.
