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

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 862 farms in Kings County and lists milk, cattle and cotton as its top products. If your truck has spent its working life on dairy and feedlot routes, it may be parked at a farm yard rather than in town when you sell it; send us the farm address and the name of whoever can open the gate.

Of the 608 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Hanford, 80 list grain, feed and hay as a cargo and 76 list farm supplies. A hay hauler or feed truck tied to one of those operations is exactly the kind of truck to tell us about, so give us the VIN, the body type and a photo of the bed or trailer it pulls.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 531 Hanford carriers registered for intrastate work against 75 for interstate, and 171 of them run as private fleets hauling their own goods. If the truck carries a company name on the door but you own it, bring the registration in your name and the title so the paperwork matches the person signing.

Drivers based in town split 993 working within 100 miles and 768 working beyond, according to the same FMCSA census. Whether yours stays close to Kings County or goes long, tell us the last place it was parked, since that is where we collect it.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA lists 39 carriers new to Hanford in 2025 and 37 in 2024. If you started a small operation in one of those years and are selling its first truck, have the purchase paperwork and the current registration together before you call.

Hanford carriers had 418 trucks pulled over for inspection from September 2024 through August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year of that group at 2017. Tell us the exact year, make and model of yours up front, and include a clear photo of the door sticker with the VIN.

Those same roadside inspection records from FMCSA put 36.8 percent of the inspected trucks at ten or more model years old. If yours carries an inspection report from a recent stop, keep it with the title; a copy of it answers many questions about the truck before we ask them.

The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA here hold 87, 50 and 48 power units. Selling several units from one yard is fine: list each VIN and where each one sits, and we arrange collection for the group.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists two liquid bulk terminals near Hanford, one 13 miles east of town and another 14.1 miles to the north. A tractor that has pulled tank trailers to either site can be collected from the yard where it is kept; tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays.

To the north, the Energy Information Administration lists the FRESNO petroleum product terminal 24.5 miles from Hanford. Fuel haulers working that run should send photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel along with any hazmat paperwork the truck carries.

FMCSA’s census also records 49 local carriers hauling dry bulk commodities. If yours pulls a hopper or pneumatic trailer, say so in your first message and send a photo of the trailer coupled up.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Sanger Aggregate Plant, an industrial-mineral mine 25 miles north-east of Hanford. A dump truck or end-dump tractor working out of that plant can stay parked at the pit or your yard; give us the location and the hours someone is there.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 84 construction establishments in Hanford, and LEHD job counts put 599 jobs in construction here in 2023. If your truck belongs to a contractor’s yard, have the title, registration and any service records gathered in one folder before collection day.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 17,042 jobs in Hanford in 2023, including 622 in manufacturing, 301 in agriculture and 249 in transportation and warehousing. If you have a box truck or straight truck serving a plant or packing shed here, tell us the body length and whether it has a liftgate.

Hanford’s 10 bridges carry no load postings and no clearances under 14 feet, per the National Bridge Inventory, so a tall tractor or tanker can leave town on any of them. Tell us if the truck is on a farm road or behind a narrow gate, so the pickup plan fits the spot.

NAS Lemoore, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics 15.6 miles west, sits on the far side of Lemoore from town. If your truck is parked out that way, give us the street address rather than the base name, and confirm the vehicle is off restricted ground.

• Our hay and feed truck stays on a Kings County dairy between loads; will you pick it up from the farm itself?We will, and Kings County has 862 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, so farm-yard pickups are routine here; send the farm address and a contact for the gate.
• The California title for my Hanford truck has gone missing; who issues a replacement?Request a duplicate from California’s title agency before collection, and send us the registration in the meantime so we can match the VIN.
• My tanker is kept at the liquid bulk terminal east of Hanford; does it have to come into town for the sale?It stays put: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places that terminal 13 miles east of Hanford, and we can collect from the yard if the site allows it; tell us whose lot the truck is on.
