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

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Salinas Yard lies 1.3 miles south-east of Boronda. A tractor that shuttles boxes or bulk loads between that yard and warehouses in town can be collected from a lot near the tracks; give us the gate hours and a name to call on site.

The North American Rail Network also lists Watsonville Yard 14.4 miles north of town. If your day cab splits its shifts between the Salinas and Watsonville yards, tell us which one it is parked at on the day you want it gone, and send a clear photo of the VIN plate and the odometer so the details match from the start.

Natividad Plant, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 5.3 miles north-east of Boronda, is the closest pit to town. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that load there are among the trucks we buy; photograph the bed, the tailgate and the frame rails along with the cab, and say whether the truck is still parked inside the quarry fence.

Further out, Pine Canyon Quarry is a sand and gravel operation 7.8 miles to the south-east, and the A R Wilson Quarry sits 14.2 miles north, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. A truck stored at one of those sites can stay there; we arrange the collection with whoever controls the gate, so send that contact along with your registration card.

Marina Landfill, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine, is 6.7 miles south of Boronda. If your roll-off or end dump hauled to that site, keep any scale tickets or service logs you have, since they show the work the truck has done better than a description can.

Of the 421 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) place in Boronda for 2023, 168 sit in transportation and warehousing, a 39.9 percent share. Box trucks, reefer units and yard tractors from that kind of work are all trucks we collect; list the body type and the trailer it pulled when you get in touch.

Construction holds 131 of those jobs, or 31.1 percent, according to the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Flatbeds, water trucks and dump bodies from building crews around Salinas fit what we purchase, and a contractor selling several units at once can send one list of VINs rather than calling about each truck separately.

Around Boronda, the leading farm products are potted flowering plants, transplants and cattle, and Monterey County holds 1,057 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Straight trucks with lift gates that move nursery stock, and stake beds or livestock haulers from the cattle side, are trucks we buy from growers and ranchers here.

A farm truck often sits at a ranch or greenhouse off a dirt lane rather than in town. Tell us the road, whether a tow rig can reach it in wet weather, and who will be there to hand over the keys, and keep the title with the truck’s registration so both are ready for the driver.

California titles go through the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, and its Salinas field office at 260 E Laurel Drive, Salinas, 93906, is 1.5 miles from Boronda. If the title has gone missing, that office is where a duplicate is requested; have the VIN, your plate number and photo identification with you when you go.

When a lender is still named on the California title, ask the bank for a lien release before we collect, and bring it with the title if you visit the Salinas field office.

The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, according to a notice from the California Air Resources Board. Under a federal court filing, the California Air Resources Board’s 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements stand with enforcement paused for the time being. Boronda owners selling a diesel tractor do not need to settle either question first; we buy the truck as it is registered.

The California Air Resources Board repealed its Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements, leaving Boronda drayage owners without that fleet mandate. A drayage tractor that pulled containers out of Salinas Yard can be sold with its normal title and registration, and we collect it from wherever it is parked in Monterey County.

• If my rail-shuttle tractor is left beside the tracks at Salinas Yard, can it be picked up right there?Salinas Yard is 1.3 miles south-east of Boronda on the North American Rail Network, so the truck can stay right where it is. Send us the lot address and a contact for the gate, and we arrange the collection there.
• Lost the pink slip on a Boronda-registered truck: where is the nearest field office for a replacement?Boronda sellers use the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles field office at 260 E Laurel Drive in Salinas, 1.5 miles away, to request a duplicate title. Bring the VIN, the plate number and your identification.
• Is a quarry dump truck that loads stone at Natividad Plant something you would collect from the pit?Natividad Plant is a crushed-stone quarry 5.3 miles north-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and dump trucks hauling from it are trucks we buy. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the frame, and add the VIN plate to the set.
• My nursery truck stays at a greenhouse outside Boronda. Will your driver pick it up from the greenhouse?Potted flowering plants and transplants lead Monterey County’s farm list on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect nursery trucks from the greenhouse or ranch where they sit. Give us the lane off the main road and the grower who will hand over the keys.
