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

Of the 104 Calabasas carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census lists as active, 93 hold intrastate authority while just 9 cross state lines. For a seller, that usually means a California-plated truck that has stayed inside the state, so have the California registration card and the title in the same folder before you call us.

Private fleets account for 29 of those carriers in the same federal census. If the truck belongs to a business, tell us whose name is on the title, and have someone with signing authority for that company ready for the paperwork.

New registrations hold steady here: the FMCSA census shows 5 new carriers in 2024 and another 5 in 2025. Young operations sometimes have a truck still listed under an owner’s personal name; check which name the California title shows before collection is booked.

General freight is the cargo listed by 23 Calabasas carriers on FMCSA’s census, ahead of passengers at 6. A box truck or tractor from that work is welcome; photograph the cab, the deck or box, and the plate, and send the VIN with them.

Four local carriers report garbage, refuse and trash, and another four report logs, poles, beams and lumber, according to the federal carrier census. If yours is a roll-off, packer or flatbed from that work, list the body type and any equipment mounted on it, since the body changes how we plan the pickup.

Passenger carriers in Calabasas number 6 on FMCSA’s records. A shuttle or bus can be sold the same way as a freight truck: title, registration and a seat count are the details to have ready.

At the top end, FMCSA’s carrier census puts Calabasas fleets at 20 power units with 20 drivers, 13 units with 15 drivers, and 12 units with 25 drivers. If you are selling more than one truck from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs together so the units can be collected on one visit.

Twelve Calabasas carriers filed mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck logged 11,007 miles in a year. The same census lists 150 drivers working within 100 miles and 106 beyond it. Most trucks we collect here will be parked at a yard or a driveway in the county, so give us the street address and gate hours.

Van Nuys Terminal, a petroleum product terminal 11.8 miles east, appears on the Energy Information Administration’s list, with a second Van Nuys terminal 12.4 miles north-east. Tankers that load there need their tank inspection records kept with the truck; send copies along with the photos.

Raymer Yard lies 12.2 miles north-east and Gemco Yard 14 miles east, both on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked near either yard, tell us the cross streets and who controls access to the lot.

About 14.9 miles east is the Port of Los Angeles, as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates it from Calabasas. A day cab that has pulled containers from there can stay where it sits; give us the location and a phone number for whoever opens the gate.

Tapo Rock & Sand, 13.5 miles north, and Canyon Rock Plant, 14 miles north, are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of operations. Dump trucks and transfer trucks from those runs are trucks we buy; note the bed type and send a photo of the hoist.

Moorpark Quarry, a sand and gravel operation logged by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is 18.5 miles north-west. A truck kept at a quarry site may need a pass for our driver, so tell us the site contact when you first get in touch.

Construction holds 732 of the 16,176 jobs in Calabasas, a 4.5 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with manufacturing at 533 and wholesale trade at 456. There are 104 construction establishments counted for Calabasas in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractor-owned pickups, dump trucks and stake beds sell with the same papers: title, registration and the VIN.

Los Angeles County has 766 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations. A nursery truck or a horse hauler from those farms can be collected at the farm; tell us the address and whether a trailer is coupled to it.

CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high priority and federal fleets are listed as repealed, and the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested. Selling a truck in Calabasas does not wait on either rule; we buy the truck as it is registered today.

A federal court filing lists enforcement of CARB’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty trucks as paused. If you have CARB compliance paperwork for the truck, such as a reporting record, include it with the title so the file is complete.

• The tractor sits by Raymer Yard in the Valley; does it have to come over the hill to Calabasas first?Raymer Yard is 12.2 miles north-east of Calabasas on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from where the truck is parked. Text us the Raymer Yard area address and who can let our driver onto that lot.
• The pink slip for my Calabasas truck has gone missing; what now?A lost California title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and the registered owner applies for the duplicate there. Tell us the title is missing when you first contact us and we will hold the pickup until the replacement is in hand.
• Is a dump truck that hauled from Moorpark Quarry something you take?Moorpark Quarry and Tapo Rock & Sand are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list within 19 miles of Calabasas, and dump trucks from that work are on our list. Send the VIN and photos of the bed and cab.
• Our Calabasas business hauls its own goods with a handful of trucks; can they all go in one deal?Private fleets make up 29 of the 104 Calabasas carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and we take multiple units from one owner. Send the VINs as one list with the titles in the company name.
