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

Fourteen point seven miles east of the Bolinas mesa, the San Rafael Rock Quarry turns out crushed stone, as recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that carry aggregate off that site often stay parked near the quarry road rather than back on the coast, so give us the street address where yours sits today and we will plan collection there.

Around Bolinas itself, County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 8 construction establishments. If your truck has hauled gravel or base rock for small builders like these, have the title, the current registration card and any service log ready, plus clear photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab from both sides.

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the West Chevron Yard lies 17.4 miles east of town and Richmond Yard sits at 18.2 miles. Tractors that shuttle loads between those rail sidings and Marin customers can be picked up at a Richmond lot just as easily as in Bolinas; tell us which side of the bay the truck is on.

Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings near here: the Richmond CA Terminal at 17.6 miles and a second Richmond terminal at 18.3 miles, both east. A fuel tanker or a tractor with a tank trailer that loads at those racks should come to us with its title, registration and whatever inspection paperwork the terminal required, so the truck’s working history is on record from the start.

San Francisco Port is 17.5 miles south-east of Bolinas, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also lists the port at Richmond 19.2 miles to the east. A day cab that pulls containers or flatbeds from those docks may finish its last run in the city or at a yard near the water, and we can collect it wherever it stands.

For roll-on/roll-off cargo, the Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond is 18.7 miles east, per the same federal transportation bureau. Car haulers and lowboys that load vehicles or equipment there are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the trailer deck along with the tractor.

Bolinas belongs to a county where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 255 farms, with milk, cattle and equine as the leading products in Marin County. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and stock trailers pulled by pickups or medium-duty trucks are all part of that ranch traffic, and a truck kept on a ranch can be collected from the barnyard.

If your truck has carried hay, feed or animals between West Marin pastures, gather the title and registration and note which ranch gate we should use. Gravel ranch roads are fine; just tell us whether a tow vehicle can turn around near where the truck is parked.

For 2023, a total of 261 positions were based in Bolinas on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a small working base for a town wedged between the lagoon and the Pacific. In a town where work is spread that thin, a single box truck, utility body or service pickup may cover deliveries and trades across the whole mesa, and sellers here are often owner-operators with one vehicle.

That is the kind of seller we deal with most. With one truck, everything you need fits in a folder: the title in your name, the registration, a lien release if a lender was ever listed on it, and a few photos taken in daylight.

Driving over to Corte Madera, a Bolinas owner reaches the closest of the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles’ DMV field offices after about 10.5 miles, at 75 Tamal Vista Boulevard, Corte Madera, 94925. If the title for your truck is lost, that is where a duplicate request can be made in person.

Start that request before you contact us if you can, and keep the receipt the field office gives you. Tell us at the outset if the title still shows a lender, so we can ask for the right release paperwork along with it.

Three state rules touch heavy trucks registered in Bolinas. For a Bolinas tractor, the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation remains contested. For the state’s 2036 zero-emission sales requirement covering medium- and heavy-duty trucks, enforcement is paused under a federal court ruling.

Drayage operators who pull port loads from Richmond or San Francisco will want to know that the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements has been repealed. None of these rules stops you selling a truck you own; bring the title and registration as with any other sale.
