Bakersfield Yard on both sides of Casa Loma
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places one part of Bakersfield Yard 2.4 miles north-east of Casa Loma and another 2.8 miles to the north-west. A tractor that shuttles boxes or loads between those tracks may be sitting at a yard gate rather than a driveway, so give us the gate name and who can let us in.
With both yard sections under three miles away, a day cab that worked rail transfers here rarely needs to move far for collection. Send the VIN, the plate and a few photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, and say which side of the yard the truck usually parks on.
North-west fuel row
Tank trucks around the Bakersfield petroleum terminals
To the north-west of Casa Loma, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Bakersfield at 4.5 miles and Bakersfield Terminal at 4.9 miles. Tank wagons and tractors pulling fuel trailers between those two sites are trucks we buy, whether the trailer goes with them or stays behind.
Tricor Refining, a liquid bulk terminal that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 4.6 miles north-west of town, sits in the same short stretch. If your truck loaded there, keep any terminal inspection sheets or tank test records with the title; they let us understand the truck’s work before we see it.
A fuel hauler parked inside one of these terminal lots can be collected on site. Tell us the terminal, the contact who controls the gate and any safety induction the site asks of visitors, and we plan the pickup around those requirements.
Casa Loma dump rigs hauling from Edison and San Emidio
East of Casa Loma by 12.5 miles, Edison Sand Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. Tandem dumps, transfer rigs and belly-dump tractors that cycle loads out of a pit like this are all trucks we purchase.
San Emidio Plant, another sand and gravel site in the Mine Safety and Health Administration listing, lies 23 miles south-west, toward the hills. If your dump truck spends its days at that plant, we can collect it there; share the plant address, the body type and photos of the bed and hoist so we know what we are loading.
Milk, cattle and cotton trucks from Casa Loma’s farm country
Kern County counted 1,691 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that survey ranks milk, cattle and cotton as the county’s top products. Bulk milk tankers, livestock haulers and module trucks from those operations are welcome here.
A farm truck often stays parked on the ranch between seasons. Tell us the ranch road, whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle, and whose name is on the registration, so the person signing is the person on the title.
California DMV
A duplicate California title from the F Street field office
Titles here come from the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest DMV field office to Casa Loma is the Bakersfield office at 3120 F Street, Bakersfield, 93301, about 3.4 miles away. A Casa Loma owner whose certificate has gone missing can apply for the replacement at that F Street counter.
Bring the registration card, your driver’s license and the VIN when you visit the F Street office. If a lender still appears on the certificate, ask the lender for a lien release first, and send us a photo of both documents once you have them.
Where California’s clean-truck regulations stand for a Kern owner
For a Casa Loma tractor owner, the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation remains under legal challenge. Enforcement of the state’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, set for the 2036 model year, is paused under a federal court ruling.
Casa Loma fleet owners can also note that the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements has been repealed. Selling a diesel tractor from this town needs no clean-fleet filing from you; the title, the registration and the keys are what we ask for.
