We buy trucks in Dublin

A single node row sits in this city. Our node list records Parks Reserve Forces Training Area, and its coordinate reverse-geocodes to Alameda County. That is the whole of what was established: function, acreage and staffing were not, and we are not going to fill them in from memory.

It matters mainly as a thing not to lean on. An installation on a list is not evidence about what moves on a road this month, and a page that turned it into one would be telling you something nobody checked.

So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. What is genuinely here is ordinary East Bay working traffic: box trucks and straight trucks on distribution, flatbeds and day cabs between the parks, dump trucks and aggregate haulers on the construction side, and pickups and work trucks everywhere. Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore and Castro Valley all carry pages of their own.

That is state law rather than anything local, and it is the rule truck sellers misquote most often. CVC sections 35550 to 35558 set a statutory range of 34,000 to 80,000 lb by axle count and spacing, and § 35551(a) is a table rather than the federal Bridge Formula — no formula is declared in the statute at all.

The California table does not exactly match the Federal Bridge Table, including at three and four axles. So a configuration that is legal under one can be over under the other, and “it makes bridge formula” is a claim about which table you mean. If someone has told you your truck makes it, that is worth knowing before you repeat it.

That same code book handles what damage does to a title, and California is unusual in how it does it. CVC § 544 defines a total loss salvage vehicle as one that the owner, a leasing company, a financial institution or an insurer considers uneconomical to repair, and which is consequently not repaired. There is no number in the law.

Most California insurers work to internal thresholds of somewhere around 70 to 75 percent of actual cash value. Those are company policies, not statute, and they must not be read as a legal threshold — the same damaged truck can brand in Kentucky, run a formula in Georgia, and be a judgement call here.

Advanced Clean Fleets is the other rule people ask about, and it is moving the other way. CARB voted on 25 September 2025 to repeal its drayage and high-priority fleet requirements, final action is due by 31 August 2026, and repeal is expected to take effect on 1 January 2027. CARB has agreed to take no enforcement action for conduct from 1 November 2023 until that final action, and the suspension is the operative fact today.

Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the DMV and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.

What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. California sets no percentage: CVC § 544 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck.

How does it get collected, and how am I paid? There is no clock on any of this. This close in we usually come to you and either drive it away or tow it; we also buy remotely and arrange the tow, and you can drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
