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

We buy all commercial trucks — sleeper trucks, dump trucks, box trucks, day cabs, container chassis and tankers.

Brisbane sits on the San Mateo County shore between a petroleum product terminal, the South San Francisco rail yard and the piers of San Francisco and Oakland, and the tractors, box trucks and dump trucks that serve them are the ones we buy here.

Selling a truck in Brisbane? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Terminal rack and rail spur

A fuel terminal and a rail yard on the edge of town

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Brisbane about 1.4 miles north-west of the town centre. If your tank truck loads at that rack, tell us whether it is parked inside the terminal fence or on a street nearby, and who can let a driver in.

South San Francisco Yard, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 1.6 miles south-west. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from that yard can be collected from a lot beside it; send the VIN, the plate and the yard address with your first message.

Piers and ramps

Roll-on piers north, Oakland container ramps east

Five miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Port of San Francisco - Pier 80 as a roll-on/roll-off terminal, and it places the San Francisco port 7.8 miles north-west. A tractor that pulls chassis between those piers and Brisbane can stay parked where it last worked; give us the pier gate or the yard and a contact name.

Across the bay, the Port of Oakland is 8.1 miles east by the same federal agency’s measure, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists two intermodal ramps there, the Nutter terminal 9.3 miles north and Oakland International Container Terminal 9.5 miles north-east. Tell us which side of the bay your drayage tractor is parked on before we plan the pickup.

Pier 92 Marine Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.8 miles north, is another stop on this shoreline. A dump truck or transfer rig that hauls from that aggregate yard sells the same way: photos of the cab, the bed and the plate, plus the title in hand.

Movers, freight haulers and private fleets based in Brisbane

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 82 active carriers based in Brisbane, of which 71 run intrastate only, 11 cross state lines and 28 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group yours belongs to, have the USDOT number ready alongside the VIN when you contact us.

General freight is the cargo listed by 29 of those carriers, with machinery and large objects at 8, household goods at 6 and paper products at 6, according to the same federal census. Movers selling a box truck should send pictures of the body interior and the liftgate along with the cab.

Brisbane’s top three fleets by power units, per FMCSA’s census, field 120, 60 and 43 tractors and trucks. If you are selling several units from one yard, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we will arrange to collect them together.

Drivers registered in Brisbane split almost evenly by radius in the FMCSA census, with 299 staying within 100 miles and 271 working beyond it. Of the carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, 13 in all, the median is 13,500 miles per truck a year.

Across 178 trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2021 for Brisbane carriers, with about 15.7 percent of them ten or more model years old.

Whatever the year on your title, read the model year and the VIN off the door jamb and send them with the registration card. Those two lines let us confirm the specification before anyone travels to the truck.

Warehousing, wholesale and building work

Wholesale trade accounts for 999 of the 7,214 jobs located in Brisbane in 2023, and transportation and warehousing for 955, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and tractors from distribution buildings in town can be collected straight from the loading dock if the site manager agrees.

Manufacturing holds 617 jobs and construction 459 in that same LEHD count, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 32 construction establishments. Contractors selling a dump truck or flatbed should note whether it is at a job site or a home yard, so we bring the right equipment.

San Mateo County has 250 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by potted flowering plants, mushrooms and foliage plants. A refrigerated box truck used for nursery deliveries is a truck we buy too; include a photo of the reefer unit plate.

Tunnel Avenue height

Six bridges and one low rail overpass in Brisbane

Six bridges stand in Brisbane in the National Bridge Inventory, none of them load-posted, and one has under 14 feet of clearance: structure 35C0124, which the inventory shows carrying Tunnel Avenue over the UP rail line at 13 feet 11 inches.

If your truck is parked on the far side of that crossing, say so and give us the overall height, so the collection route avoids Tunnel Avenue when the load would be too tall.

The questions we get asked in Brisbane

  • I run a Brisbane moving company. Will you take our liftgate box truck?Six Brisbane carriers list household goods in FMCSA’s carrier census, and their box trucks are on our list. Send the VIN, the registration and photos of the body and liftgate.
  • Is a 2021 model year truck too new for you to look at?Brisbane’s median at roadside was model year 2021 in FMCSA inspection records, so trucks of that age are common here and we look at them. Send the VIN and the registration to start.
