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

Out of 83 active Blythe carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo 40 of them name. When you contact us, tell us whether your tractor pulled dry vans, flatbeds or something else, and send the VIN with the first message so we can look the truck up before we call you back.

Grain, feed and hay is the second cargo on that list, with 21 Blythe carriers registering it in the FMCSA census, while farm supplies and fresh produce are each claimed by 11. A truck that hauled bales or produce for a farm may be parked out at a ranch rather than in town; give us the field address or the nearest crossroads and a phone number for whoever can let us onto the property.

Of those carriers, 41 operate interstate and 42 stay within California, and 24 run private fleets moving their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a farm or a business rather than a for-hire carrier, have the registration in the business’s name ready, along with someone who can sign for the company.

The three biggest fleets registered in Blythe run 20, 20 and 18 power units, by FMCSA’s carrier census figures, and most of the rest are far smaller. Whether you are selling one truck or several, send us a list of VINs and where each one sits, and we will work out a collection plan for the whole group.

Carriers here report 170 drivers who stay within 100 miles and 135 who go beyond it, according to the FMCSA census. Among the 25 Blythe carriers that report annual mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covers 39,380 miles a year. Note the odometer reading off the dash and photograph it, since that number is one of the first things we ask for.

New registrations stay modest: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 4 new Blythe carriers in 2024 and 3 in 2025. If you started a carrier recently and are now selling its truck, keep the operating authority paperwork and the title together so the sale lines up with the name on the record.

We buy trucks of every model year, so tell us the year, make and model straight from the registration card.

Ten or more model years separate 36.6 percent of those Blythe trucks from the present, by the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. If you kept inspection reports or service invoices, put them in a folder with the title; they give us the truck’s history alongside your photos of the cab, frame and tires.

Crawford’s Mine, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies about 5.1 miles north-east of Blythe. A dump truck or tractor that worked the pit can be collected from the site if the operator allows it; tell us who controls the gate and what hours the yard is open.

Further out, The Standard Mine is an industrial-mineral mine about 18.9 miles north-west of town, by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine records. Send the location and a contact on site, and we will arrange the pickup there.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,424 farms in Riverside County, with milk, mushrooms and cotton as its top products. Trucks that haul for dairies, growers or gins belong on the list of what we purchase; tell us what the truck was set up to carry, such as a reefer, a flatbed or a bulk body.

In Blythe itself, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 98 jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting out of 5,173 in total. If the truck is titled to a farm partnership or a family member, find out whose name is on the title before we start, since that person signs the transfer.

Transportation and warehousing account for 113 Blythe jobs, construction for 94 and wholesale trade for 97, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Box trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks from any of those trades are trucks we buy, whether they come from a contractor or a distributor.

If your truck works for one of those firms and is parked at a job site, tell us the site address and whether we need a site pass to reach it.

Around Blythe, all 30 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carry no load posting, and not one has clearance under 14 feet. Give us the exact address of a tall or heavy truck and we will plan the route to it.
