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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 60 active carriers based in Calistoga, and all 60 are listed as intrastate operators, with none registered for interstate work. If your truck has only ever run inside California, that is the normal pattern here, and we collect it from wherever it is parked in town or out on a ranch road.

Half of those Calistoga outfits, 30 by the federal carrier census, are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A winery, a farm or a contractor that keeps one truck for its own use can sell it to us directly; have the title in the name of the business and the registration card with it.

The largest Calistoga fleet on FMCSA’s census runs 10 power units with 9 drivers, and the next two each run 3 power units. With operations this size, the person selling is usually the person who drove the truck, so you can answer our questions yourself; a few photos of the cab, the frame and the tires, plus the VIN, is enough to start.

Across 12 reporting carriers, the median truck in Calistoga logged 8,741 miles a year, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. FMCSA’s census also lists 87 drivers here working within 100 miles and 70 working beyond that radius. Write the current odometer reading down before you call, along with where the truck is kept, and we plan the collection from there.

General freight is the most common cargo among Calistoga carriers, at 17 operators on FMCSA’s census, followed by farm supplies at 11 and fresh produce at 9. Box trucks, flatbeds and reefer units that have carried those loads are all trucks we buy; tell us the body type and any refrigeration unit on it when you get in touch.

Seven local carriers on the federal register haul machinery and large objects, which usually means a lowboy, a tilt deck or a heavy flatbed. If you are selling a tractor with its trailer, list them as two items with a VIN for each, and say whether the trailer goes with the truck or stays behind.

Mark West Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 4.3 miles west of Calistoga, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and Canyon Rock Co Inc sits 19 miles west. A dump truck or end-dump that has worked those pits can be picked up at the quarry yard as long as someone can let us through the gate, so give us a contact name when you write.

MSHA also lists Roblar Quarry LLC, a sand and gravel site 21.8 miles to the south-west, and DNA Ridge Rock, 24 miles north. If your aggregate truck is parked at one of those sites rather than in Calistoga, you do not need to move it; send the site name and we arrange the pickup there.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,772 farms in Napa County, with cattle, honey and equine operations at the top of its list. Stock trucks, ranch flatbeds and farm service trucks from those operations are welcome; a ranch truck that has never been titled for highway work still needs its title, so find it before we schedule the collection.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,377 jobs in Calistoga in 2023, with 154 in manufacturing and 123 in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. County Business Patterns separately lists 24 construction establishments in the area. Contractors with a work truck to sell should gather the service records they have; those papers travel with the truck when it leaves your yard.

One new carrier registered in Calistoga in 2024 and one more in 2025, on FMCSA’s records. If you started an operation recently and the truck is still under a loan, tell us the lender at the start; the lien release and the title are handled together.

Owners who are closing out a small operation here often have the truck, its trailer and spare parts together on one property. Tell us what is included and where each piece sits on the lot, and we walk the site with you on collection day.

• My dump truck sits at Mark West Quarry rather than in Calistoga - will you pick it up from the quarry yard?Mark West Quarry is 4.3 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and we collect at the quarry yard. Give us the name of someone who can open the gate.
• My truck has never left California on a load; is an intrastate-only history a problem for selling it here?All 60 active Calistoga carriers on FMCSA’s census are intrastate, so an in-state truck is the usual case here. Keep its California title and this year’s registration card together with the keys for collection day.
• The truck hauls for my own ranch or winery, never for hire - is a private-use truck one you take?Thirty of Calistoga’s carriers on the federal census are private fleets hauling their own goods, and their trucks are ones we buy. The title needs to be in the name of whoever is selling.
