Builders on the Dollar Point job rolls
Of the 463 jobs located in Dollar Point in 2023, construction held 74, roughly one in six, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). If your truck is a dump body, a flatbed or a service rig that has spent its seasons on job sites, tell us the body type and its equipment when you first get in touch.
A builder’s truck often sits at a yard or a site rather than at home. Send us that address, a name to call for access, and photos of the cab, the body and the VIN plate, and we will plan the collection around wherever the truck is parked.

Stock trailers from Placer ranch gates
Ranches raising cattle, horses and sheep lead the 1,093 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records in Placer County around Dollar Point. Stock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and feed trucks from those operations are all trucks we buy, and a ranch gate is a fine place for us to meet one.
Before we come out to a ranch, tell us whether the truck can be reached on the property and whether a trailer stays coupled to it. Gather the registration papers and any service records you kept in the barn office ahead of the visit.
A DMV counter 10.9 miles from town
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles vehicle titles through its DMV field offices, and the one closest to Dollar Point is the Truckee office at 11357 Donner Pass Road Suite I, Truckee, 96162, about 10.9 miles away by the department’s own listing. Should the title be lost, that counter is where a replacement starts.
Bring your ID and the VIN to Truckee if the title needs replacing, and let us know where that request stands. A title in your name, or one with a lien release from the lender, keeps the sale simple on the day we collect.
Emissions calendar
Diesel ownership under three Air Resources Board measures
For a Dollar Point owner, the first measure to know is the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, whose standing the California Air Resources Board’s amendments have left contested. For the 2036 requirement that all new medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission, a federal court filing shows enforcement is on hold.
The Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation’s drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements have been repealed, according to the Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record. Dollar Point owners can sell a diesel tractor to us without any of those three rules standing in the way today.
VIN, odometer and a Dollar Point address
Start with the VIN, the odometer reading and a handful of photos: both sides, the cab interior and the frame. Add the year, the make and the body so we know which truck we are looking at.
Tell us whether the truck is in a driveway in Dollar Point, at a construction yard, or out on a Placer County ranch. Then say who can meet us there, or leave the keys with someone nearby, and the sale can be handled from wherever you are.
