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

General freight is the cargo named by 367 of the 1,028 active Burbank carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is a box truck or tractor from one of those outfits, have the title and current California registration together before you call, and we can start from the VIN.

Passenger carriers number 58 in the same FMCSA census, with 50 hauling motor vehicles and 47 moving household goods. Car haulers, moving vans and shuttle buses all fit what we collect; tell us which body sits on the chassis and send a photo of each side so the description and the pictures agree.

Of those Burbank carriers, FMCSA records 832 as intrastate and 193 as interstate, with 220 operating private fleets for their own goods. A private-fleet truck can be signed over by the company that owns it, so have whoever holds signing authority ready to put a name on the title.

According to FMCSA’s carrier census, Burbank carriers report 2,828 drivers working within 100 miles and 1,814 going beyond that. A local-radius truck is usually parked at a yard or a driver’s home in town when we come for it, so give us that address and a contact who can hand over keys.

Among the 159 Burbank carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covers 25,000 miles a year. Read the odometer before you get in touch and include it with the VIN; those two numbers answer most of the first questions we ask.

Burbank added 38 fresh carrier registrations in 2024 and 44 in 2025, per FMCSA’s census. If you set up an authority recently and are now letting a truck go, keep the bill of sale or lease papers from when you acquired it alongside the title.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 412 Burbank-based trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, and their median model year is 2019. Bring along the inspection reports you were handed at the roadside; they confirm the truck’s identity and history in one place.

The same roadside inspection records put 27.7 percent of those trucks at ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, send clear photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires along with the plate, and we will ask about anything else.

The three biggest Burbank fleets on FMCSA’s census run 212, 161 and 63 power units. A company retiring several units at once can list every VIN in one message, and we will arrange collection unit by unit from the yard where they sit.

The North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places GEMCO Yard 6.6 miles west of Burbank and Raymer Yard 8.8 miles west. A day cab that shuttles between those yards can stay where it is parked; tell us the gate and who can let us in.

Lamar Street intermodal, 10.8 miles south-east, and Hobart, 14.7 miles in the same direction, are both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as rail intermodal ramps. If your tractor pulled containers off those ramps, give us the drayage paperwork you still have along with the title.

Two petroleum product terminals in Van Nuys, 8.1 and 8.7 miles west, appear in Energy Information Administration listings. Tank trucks and fuel tractors from that work are part of what we buy; mention the trailer type and whether it stays with the tractor or goes separately.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Port of Los Angeles 7 miles south-west of Burbank. A truck that has worked port routes may be sitting at a drayage lot rather than at home; tell us whose lot it is so pickup can be arranged with them.

North-west of town by 8.5 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Sylmar Site as a sand and gravel operation. Dump trucks and transfer rigs from aggregate work fit what we collect; photos of the bed and the hoist alongside the cab tell us what we need to know.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 277,900 jobs tied to Burbank, including 4,415 in manufacturing, 2,235 in construction, 2,198 in wholesale trade and 2,060 in transportation and warehousing. Straight trucks and stake beds from any of those employers are welcome; have the registration in the business name ready.

Burbank holds 335 construction establishments against just 8 in warehousing, in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s flatbed or dump truck usually sits at a job yard or shop, so point us to that address and we will plan collection around it.

Across Los Angeles County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 766 farms, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations leading. Nursery trucks and horse haulers belong on our list as well; tell us what body or trailer is attached.

If the title is lost, California’s title agency issues the replacement, and you can start that request before we arrive. Send us a copy of the registration meanwhile so we can match the VIN.

Of the 44 Burbank bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, zero carry a load posting and zero sit below 14 feet. Tell us the cross streets where a tall tractor or flatbed is parked, and we will plan the approach from there.

• My tractor sits by the Van Nuys fuel terminals; does it have to come to Burbank first?It stays put: Energy Information Administration listings put those terminals 8.1 and 8.7 miles west of Burbank, and we collect from the spot where it is parked. Share the terminal-side address plus whoever holds the gate key.
• Do you take a dump truck that hauled from the Sylmar gravel site?Gravel haulers from Sylmar are welcome. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Sylmar Site 8.5 miles north-west of town as a sand and gravel operation, and dump trucks from that work fit what we collect. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of the bed.
