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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 7/11 Materials - Coyote Valley Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation 3.6 miles west of Bishop. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that runs loads out of Coyote Valley is often parked at the pit itself, so tell us whether we collect it there or at your yard in town.

Fish Springs Quarry, an industrial-mineral mine 22.3 miles south on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is the other site of its kind near town. If your truck sits out at the quarry, send the gate contact and a few photos of the cab, frame and tires along with the quarry address.

Of the 101 Bishop carriers active on FMCSA’s carrier census, only 15 hold interstate authority and the other 86 keep their trucks inside California. For a truck that has stayed inside California, the registration and the state title are the two papers we look at first, so find both before you call.

Private fleets make up 41 of those carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, meaning a business moving its own goods rather than hauling for hire. A contractor or ranch that owns one truck under its own name can sell it the same way a for-hire carrier does; the title just needs to match the business name.

New registrations in the FMCSA carrier census were 6 in 2024 and 4 in 2025. If you started an operation in one of those years and have a truck you no longer need, the title you received at purchase is the document that matters most.

General freight is listed by 27 Bishop carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, motor vehicles by 10, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 8, and machinery and large objects by 7. Tell us which of these your truck hauled and what it pulled, whether a flatbed, a lowboy or a car hauler, so the questions you get fit the rig.

Log and lumber haulers often work as a tractor and trailer pair. If you are selling both, give us the VIN for the tractor and the trailer’s serial number together; FMCSA’s census figure of 8 lumber carriers here means a pair like that is something we expect to see from Bishop.

Drivers listed in FMCSA’s carrier census split 113 working within 100 miles of base and 134 beyond it. A truck that runs long distances may be parked away from Bishop when you decide to sell, so give us the address where it actually sits rather than your home address.

Among 16 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 12,250 miles a truck each year. Read the odometer and photograph it before you contact us; that number, with the VIN, starts every conversation about a truck.

The biggest fleet in Bishop on FMCSA’s carrier census runs 68 power units with 50 drivers, and the next two run 7 and 6. Whether you are selling one truck from a small fleet or several from a larger one, list each VIN and where each truck is parked.

Manufacturing holds 138 of Bishop’s 3,758 jobs for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, ahead of construction’s 113 and the 75 in wholesale trade. A dump truck, flatbed or box truck from a contractor or supplier in town is the kind of vehicle we collect from a job site or shop lot.

Inyo County has 63 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, equine and sheep top the list. A livestock hauler or ranch truck parked out on a property can be picked up where it sits; send directions and any gate details with the photos.

A missing title is replaced through the state’s title agency; start that request before the sale and keep the new paper with the truck. Have the registration, any service records you kept and the title together in one folder.

None of the 10 Bishop bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting, and not one sits below 14 feet. Tell us if the truck is on a private lane or behind a low gate, since those details are not in any federal record.

• My truck hauls cattle between ranches in Inyo County. Do you take livestock haulers?Cattle lead the county’s 63 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and livestock haulers from those ranches are trucks we collect. Send photos of the truck and the trailer, and tell us which ranch it is parked on.
