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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Commerce, CA rail intermodal ramp 0.1 miles south-west of the city centre, and the North American Rail Network shows Commerce Yard 0.2 miles to the south-east. A day cab that pulls boxes off that ramp may be parked in a yard a few blocks from either one; send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we collect it there.

A second ramp, Los Angeles, CA - East Washington Blvd, is 2.4 miles north-west of Commerce on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. If your tractor worked both ramps, tell us which chassis or container work it did and send photos of the fifth wheel and the cab, so the description and the pictures match before we arrive.

Of the carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Commerce, 65 report intermodal containers as a cargo. Owners of drayage tractors here should have the title, the current registration and the VIN to hand when they contact us; those three let us start the paperwork while the truck is still on the lot.

Ventura Transfer Company, a liquid bulk terminal, is 0.9 miles south of Commerce according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Titan Terminal and Transport sits 3.4 miles to the south-west on the same federal list. Tank tractors and the trailers they pull from those sites are both on our list; tell us whether you are selling the tractor alone or the pair.

The Energy Information Administration records two petroleum product terminals nearby: MONTEBELLO CA, 1.8 miles north-east, and VINVALE, 3 miles south. If your truck loaded at either rack, keep any site entry or inspection paperwork you have together with the title. It gives us the truck’s working history in a way photos alone do not.

Of the 931 active Commerce carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight shows up on 370 records. For box trucks and dry-van tractors from that group, a set of photos of each side, the dash and the cargo area tells us most of what we need before a visit.

Refrigerated food and meat each appear on 66 carrier records in the same FMCSA census. Reefer owners should send the unit’s make and hours alongside the tractor photos, and say whether the trailer is part of the sale.

Under FMCSA registration, 790 Commerce carriers run intrastate only, against 134 that cross state lines, and 219 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that has stayed inside California is usually still parked in the county when the owner calls, which keeps collection simple: give us the lot address and a time someone can meet us.

A 2020 median model year is what FMCSA roadside inspection records show for the 823 Commerce-registered trucks checked at the roadside over the two years to August 2026. Roughly one in five of those 823, 19.56 percent by the FMCSA roadside inspection records, carried a model year ten or more years back. Whatever the year of yours, the registration card and the VIN plate photo are what we ask for first.

For the 161 carriers here that report mileage to FMCSA, the median is 20,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading in your first message; it goes on the bill of sale alongside the VIN.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,486 in the FMCSA carrier census for Commerce, with 1,984 operating beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked when it gets back and we will plan the pickup there.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 47,752 jobs in Commerce, with wholesale trade at 9,598 and manufacturing at 9,024. Straight trucks and tractors that make deliveries for those employers are often kept at the business itself; if yours sits in a company yard, tell us who signs for releasing it.

Transportation and warehousing accounts for 5,132 jobs in that 2023 LEHD release, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 22 warehousing establishments and 34 construction establishments. Dump trucks and flatbeds from construction work are on our list too; send photos of the bed or body as well as the cab.

Across the wider county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 766 farms in Los Angeles County, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations at the top. A refrigerated box truck or stock trailer from that work is one we will look at alongside the freight tractors.

California’s title agency handles a missing certificate of title, so if you cannot find yours, apply for a duplicate there before the pickup date. If a lender still holds the title, tell us the lender’s name and we will work the payoff paperwork through with you.

None of the 14 Commerce structures in the National Bridge Inventory is load-posted, and none clears less than 14 feet, so a collection tractor has no posted span to route around in town. Give us the gate address and any height limit at the lot itself, such as a canopy or a low loading bay.

• Can my day cab stay parked beside the ramp off Commerce Yard for pickup?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts that ramp 0.1 miles from the centre of Commerce, so the truck is already close to us; leave it where it is and send the address and a gate contact.
• Do you buy tank trucks that served the Montebello or Vinvale terminals?Those two petroleum product terminals, listed by the Energy Information Administration at 1.8 and 3 miles from Commerce, are exactly the kind of work we buy trucks from; tell us whether the tank trailer comes with the tractor.
• Where in California do I replace a missing truck title before selling?California’s title agency issues duplicate titles, so start that application and tell us when you contact us; we can line up the rest of the sale while the duplicate is on its way.
• My rig has only hauled intrastate loads around Los Angeles County; is that a problem?Of the Commerce carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 790 operate intrastate only, so a truck that never left the state is common here and fine for us; send the registration and the VIN.
