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

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places West Colton Yard about 1 mile north-east of Bloomington and Colton Yard 4.8 miles east. If your tractor shuttles boxes or trailers to either yard, it may be sitting in a drop lot near the tracks rather than at home; give us that street address and we will collect it there.

Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration under the name Colton stand 1.8 miles east of town. A tanker or fuel tractor that loads at those racks is one we buy, so send the VIN, the tank’s plate details and a few photos of the cab, the tank and the hose cabinet.

North-east of Bloomington, the San Bernardino intermodal ramp sits 5.6 miles away according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that pull chassis between that ramp and the Colton yards are a familiar sight here; tell us which ramp the truck served and whether the chassis goes with it or stays behind.

Records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration put the Riverside Operation mineral processing plant 3 miles south and a sand and gravel site called Portable Plant #1 about 4.1 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and end-dump tractors from those pits are welcome; photograph the bed, the tailgate and the plate on the door before you call.

Alpha Materials, Inc., a sand and gravel operation 5.4 miles east, also appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listings. If your truck spends its week at a quarry gate, it can stay there for pickup, provided the site lets a tow or driver in; check gate hours and tell us who to ask for.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 806 active carriers with a Bloomington address, and 439 of them list general freight among their cargo. The same FMCSA census lists 53 carriers apiece for refrigerated food, meat and fresh produce; if you are selling a reefer tractor, tell us whether the trailer and its unit are part of the sale.

Of those carriers, 608 run intrastate and 195 cross state lines, while 117 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same FMCSA census. Whichever type you are, have the title, the current registration and your USDOT number to hand when you reach out.

The FMCSA registry shows drivers here split between 538 working within 100 miles and 1,173 going farther. A truck on a long run can be collected once it returns to Bloomington, or wherever it sits between loads; just give us the address.

Roadside stops logged by FMCSA from August 2024 to August 2026 covered 755 Bloomington trucks; their median model year was 2018, and 33.9 percent were built ten or more model years earlier. Both older and newer tractors from this town fit what we purchase, so send the year, make and model with the first photos.

For 244 carriers reporting it, the median distance per truck is 43,922 miles a year, as filed with FMCSA. Keep the odometer reading and any inspection or service records together; they answer most of our questions about a tractor before we ask them.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,207 of Bloomington’s 4,095 jobs, or 29.5 percent, in transportation and warehousing, and 517 in construction. A box truck from a warehouse floor and a flatbed from a job site are both trucks we take, with titles in a company name handled the same way as personal ones.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 69 construction establishments and 14 warehousing businesses in the area. If a company owns the truck, bring a letter or resolution showing who may sign the title for it.

San Bernardino County had 809 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and potted flowering plants leading sales. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and nursery box trucks from those farms can be sold here too; farm-plated trucks need the title and the farm registration together.

If the title is lost, California’s title agency issues a duplicate, and the request should be started before pickup so the paperwork is ready when we arrive.

The three biggest fleets in FMCSA’s census for this town run 97, 62 and 38 power units. Owners selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and locations, and we will plan collection truck by truck.

• Do you buy dump trucks from the sand and gravel pits?Sand and gravel sites such as Portable Plant #1 and Alpha Materials, Inc. appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records within 5.4 miles of town, and dump and end-dump trucks from them are part of what we purchase.
• Will you take a reefer tractor?FMCSA’s census lists 53 Bloomington carriers hauling refrigerated food, so reefer tractors are familiar to us; tell us whether the trailer and its unit are included.
