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

Corning sits in Tehama County between two sand and gravel plants, with log, lumber and farm-supply haulers among its registered motor carriers. If a truck of yours has worked these orchards, pits and county roads, we come to Corning to collect it.

Log haulers, flatbeds and freight tractors on Corning’s carrier rolls

Taken together, 187 active trucking outfits give Corning as their address in FMCSA’s carrier census, from gravel haulers to lumber carriers. In FMCSA’s figures, 66 of them haul general freight, 24 move logs, poles, beams and lumber, 20 carry machinery and large objects, and 14 handle farm supplies. A log truck, a lowboy tractor or a farm-supply flatbed from any of those operations is the kind of equipment we collect here, so tell us which of those loads yours carried when you first get in touch.

FMCSA’s register of carriers also counts 148 Corning carriers that operate intrastate only, 38 that cross state lines and 50 private fleets hauling their own goods. If your authority was intrastate, your title and California registration are the papers we will ask for first; an interstate tractor should also have its IRP cab card nearby. A private fleet that ran a truck for its own orchard or yard can sell it the same way an owner-operator can.

Valley Rock, the Orland Plant and the trucks that serve them

Up the road toward Red Bluff, Valley Rock Products runs a sand and gravel plant that the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 6.9 miles north-east of Corning. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have hauled aggregate out of that plant are welcome, and if yours is still parked at a yard near the pit, give us the address and the name of whoever can open the gate.

Ten miles south, at 10.1 miles by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s location, the Orland Plant is another sand and gravel site. For a truck that worked between Orland and Corning, send photos of the bed, the hoist, the frame and the cab along with the VIN.

Ranch trucks from Tehama County’s cattle and corn country

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,154 farms in Tehama County, with cattle, corn and equine at the top of its list. Cattle pots, grain trucks and horse-hauling rigs from those farms often sit in a barn or at the edge of a field rather than in town, and we pick up from the ranch when that is where the truck is parked.

On the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting supplied 302 of Corning’s 2,384 jobs, or 12.7 percent. If a farm truck was registered to the ranch business rather than to you personally, have whoever signs for that business ready to sign the title over.

Mills and builders

Factory freight and contractor rigs out of Corning

Manufacturing accounted for 227 jobs in Corning in 2023, 9.5 percent of the total, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and tractors that shuttled product out of a local plant are part of what we take, and service records from the shop that maintained them belong with the title when you call.

Construction held 59 jobs, a 2.5 percent share, in that same LEHD release. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or water truck parked at a job site anywhere around Corning can be collected from the site itself; just tell us the access hours.

Annual miles, fleet sizes and new authorities in Corning

Among 54 Corning carriers reporting mileage in FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 40,000 miles a year per truck. Give us the odometer reading alongside the VIN, and mention the yearly miles if you know them, so our questions fit how the truck was used.

The biggest fleets listed by that federal census run 48, 29 and 17 power units, with 18, 14 and 10 drivers respectively. A fleet manager selling several units at once can send us one list of VINs and the yard where they stand, and we will plan the collection around that one location.

New registrations in Corning reached 15 carriers in 2025 after 7 in 2024, by FMCSA’s count of new carriers. If you started out recently and the truck is still under a lien, bring the lender’s name and your account details so the payoff can be handled as part of the sale.

Barber Yard and the Chico terminal to the south-east

Down toward Chico, Barber Yard sits 23.9 miles south-east of Corning on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that has run loads to and from that rail yard can be picked up wherever it is now kept, in Corning or closer to Chico.

The Energy Information Administration places the Chico petroleum product terminal 24.9 miles south-east of town. For a fuel tanker or a tractor that pulled one out of that terminal, keep its tank inspection paperwork with the title so we can see the history alongside your photos.

The questions we get asked in Corning

  • Can you collect a gravel truck that sits at a yard by the Orland Plant instead of in Corning itself?The Orland Plant is 10.1 miles south of Corning by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s location, and we collect the truck where it stands. Tell us whose property it is on so the pickup can be arranged with them.
  • Where does a Tehama County rancher go for a duplicate title on a cattle truck?A truck from one of the 1,154 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture count for Tehama County is titled through California’s state title agency, so a duplicate comes from that office. Apply for it there and tell us when you contact us that the replacement is on the way.
  • Will you take a Corning log truck with its bunks still mounted?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 24 Corning carriers hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and their trucks are part of what we collect. Send the VIN, photos of the bunks and the cab, and your title details.
