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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Quail Hollow Operation, a sand and gravel site, 5.4 miles south-east of Boulder Creek, and the Felton Quarry, a crushed-stone pit, 7.1 miles south. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either one is the kind of truck we collect, and we can pick it up from the yard where it is parked between loads.

Lexington Quarry, another crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 9.2 miles north-east of town. If your truck hauled from Lexington, tell us exactly where it is parked now, so the pickup is planned for the right address.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 45 active carriers based in Boulder Creek: 43 run intrastate, 2 run interstate, and 12 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A seller here most often has one or two trucks registered for California work, so have the California registration card and the title in hand before you contact us.

Among those carriers, the FMCSA census shows the biggest fleet in town running 5 power units, with others at 4 and 3. Owners of a handful of trucks can sell one unit and keep the rest working; send the VIN of the truck you are selling and photos of the cab, frame and tires so we are looking at the right one.

Across 7 carriers that report mileage, the median truck in Boulder Creek covers 10,400 miles a year, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Keep the service records that go with that mileage together with the title; they tell us what the truck has done between the quarries and its customers.

General freight is the cargo listed by 11 Boulder Creek carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, garbage and refuse by 5, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 4, and machinery and large objects by 4. Box trucks, roll-off and refuse bodies, log trucks and lowboy tractors all fit what we purchase.

If yours is a log truck or a refuse truck with a body or a bunk setup, list the equipment mounted on it when you write to us. For a lowboy tractor that moved machinery, tell us whether the trailer is included in the sale or stays with you.

The FMCSA census also records 25 drivers in Boulder Creek working within 100 miles of home and 36 working beyond that range. A truck that is out on a longer route can be collected where it finishes, so give us the address where it will be parked.

Contractors with a flatbed, a dump truck or a utility body can sell one truck at a time, and we come to the job yard or the driveway where it sits.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 614 farms in Santa Cruz County, with propagative material, potted flowering plants and cut flowers among the top products.

To the north-east, the North American Rail Network shows Tamien Yard 18.1 miles away and San Jose Yard at 18.2 miles, and the Energy Information Administration lists the San Jose Terminal petroleum product terminal 20.8 miles out. If your tractor works the San Jose side and you live in Boulder Creek, it can be collected where it is parked over there.
