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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 385 active carriers based in Daly City, and 351 of them are marked intrastate against 34 interstate. If your truck has spent its working life inside California, have the California registration card and the title in the same envelope before you call us so those two papers are ready for the first conversation.

General freight is the cargo line most often checked, on 119 carrier filings in the FMCSA census, with household goods on 35, garbage and refuse on 24 and passengers on 17. A box truck from a moving outfit, a refuse body or a shuttle bus all fit what we collect, so tell us the body type along with the chassis make when you get in touch.

Private fleets account for 64 of the city’s registered operations in the federal carrier census, which covers contractors, landscapers and shops that move their own goods rather than hire out. If the truck is titled to a business, bring the name exactly as it appears on the title and someone who can sign for that business.

Across 109 trucks inspected at the roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA’s inspection records put the median model year at 2016, with 44.95 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, send the VIN first; it lets us pull the build sheet and ask the right questions about your particular unit.

Forty carriers reported annual mileage to the FMCSA census, and their median comes to 18,750 miles a truck. Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with clear photos of the cab, the dash and each side of the truck.

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Brisbane, 3.8 miles east of Daly City. Fuel tankers and service trucks parked near that terminal can be collected where they sit; send us the street address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

Four miles south-east, at 4.1, the North American Rail Network shows the South San Francisco Yard, and further out it maps the West Oakland Yard at 12.1 miles. A tractor that shuttled between those yards may be stored on either side of the bay, so tell us which side before we plan the pickup.

On the water, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Pier 80’s roll-on/roll-off terminal 6.5 miles north-east, with the Oakland International Container Terminal and the Nutter Terminal listed by the same bureau as intermodal ramps at 11.8 and 10.9 miles. Day cabs that pulled chassis to those ramps are trucks we buy; have the port access paperwork you used on hand, since it records where the tractor worked.

Pier 92 Marine Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation 6.4 miles north-east, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Dump trucks and mixers that loaded there are welcome, and a photo of the bed or drum alongside the chassis plate shows us how the truck is set up.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 183 construction establishments in Daly City, and the LEHD job counts for 2023 show 643 construction jobs out of 20,560 in total. If a contractor’s flatbed or crane truck has been sitting in a yard between jobs, tell us whether a forklift or loader is on site in case it is needed.

The Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts place 509 jobs in transportation and warehousing and 359 in manufacturing within Daly City. For a truck that worked a warehouse or plant dock, list any liftgate, reefer unit or other equipment mounted on it so we know what is coming with the chassis.

None of the 32 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists for Daly City carries a posted load limit, and none sits under 14 feet. Tell us whether the truck is in a garage, a backyard driveway or a commercial lot, and whether a tow truck can reach it from the street.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 250 farms in San Mateo County, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and foliage plants at the top of the list. Stake trucks and refrigerated straight trucks that moved nursery stock or mushrooms are ones we take, and the farm’s name on the title is fine as long as an owner signs.

Growers who registered a truck with California farm plates should keep the plate paperwork with the title. If the title is lost, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before we arrive, and let us know it is on order.
