What the record says
A rail yard with nothing written about it, and two rules nobody extracted
No facility-level source was found for the yard attached to this city, and the farming around it is recorded at county level rather than as yard traffic. County figures describe an area; they do not tell you what goes through a railroad, and we are not going to present one as the other.
Two rules that would matter to a truck here were not determined either. California’s agricultural weight provisions are not extracted into the state rule file we work from, and neither are the heavy-duty requirements of the regional air district covering this ground. Absence is not established in either case — not extracted means nobody checked, not that there is nothing to find.
A third is worth naming for the same reason: seasonal and frost-law restrictions are among the items the state file still lists as open, and in a state with the Sierra Nevada in it we do not assume they are absent. If you are quoted any of the three, check it at the source.
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. On this ground that is farm trucks and grain hauls, flatbeds and day cabs hauling fruit, box trucks and straight trucks on distribution, dump trucks on the construction side, and pickups and work trucks everywhere. Visalia, Farmersville, Woodlake, Lindsay and Lemon Cove all carry pages of their own.
California weight law
The weight table here is not the federal one
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.
California paperwork
No percentage, because the law does not have one
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.
Questions we actually get
The four that come up every time
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. Here we usually come to you and either drive it away or tow it; we can also buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you can drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
