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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Redlands Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, 1.4 miles south-west of Highland, and a second operation under the Redlands name 2.6 miles west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts between those pits may still be parked at a quarry gate or a contractor’s lot nearby. Give us that location and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the collection is arranged around the site rather than around your driveway.

Further out, Riverside Operation, a mineral processing plant, sits 14.8 miles south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck hauled aggregate between Highland and that plant, have the title and current registration together before you call, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab. Those three pictures answer most of the questions we would otherwise ask by phone.

Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: San Bernardino A Yard at 8.5 miles west of Highland and San Bernardino B Yard at 9.2 miles. A day cab that has shuttled chassis to those tracks is the kind of tractor we collect, and it can stay where it sits while you deal with us by phone.

At 8.9 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the San Bernardino rail intermodal ramp. For a tractor that has pulled containers off that ramp, the VIN and an odometer photo are the two things to send first; the rest of the conversation follows from them.

According to the Energy Information Administration, two petroleum product terminals operate at Colton, one at 12 miles and the other at 12.3 miles west of Highland. Tank-trailer tractors and fuel delivery trucks that load at those racks are welcome here; tell us which terminal the truck worked from and whether it carries any hazmat placards or tank paperwork.

If the tractor is still parked inside a terminal lot in Colton, let us know who manages access there. We plan the visit with that person, so you do not have to move the truck back to Highland first.

General freight is the cargo line for 215 carriers out of 378 active Highland registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census, and trucks from those operations can be collected from a driveway or a shared yard in town. FMCSA’s carrier census also lists paper products for 34 of them, fresh produce for 32 and refrigerated food for 31; reefer units and dry vans are both trucks we collect here.

Of those carriers, 274 operate only within California while 104 hold interstate authority, and 42 are private fleets moving their own goods, per FMCSA’s carrier census. An intrastate truck still needs its California title in your name; if that title is lost, the state’s title agency issues the duplicate, so start that request before you contact us.

Fleet sizes vary widely: FMCSA’s carrier census shows one Highland fleet with 91 power units and 119 drivers, another with 25 power units and 5 drivers, and a third with 20 of each. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard of that size, send a list of VINs and where each unit is parked.

New registrations keep coming, with 20 carriers added in 2024 and 14 in 2025 on FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started an operation in one of those years and are now stepping back, the truck’s purchase paperwork and title are what we need to see.

FMCSA roadside inspection records covering September 2024 through August 2026 logged 164 trucks tied to Highland carriers, with a median model year of 2018. Those FMCSA roadside inspection records also put 34.8 percent of the trucks at ten or more model years old.

Among the 100 carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median comes to 50,000 miles per truck. Whatever model year or odometer reading your truck carries, photograph the dash with the engine on so the figure is clear, and keep recent inspection or service records with the title.

Construction accounts for 475 of the 7,386 jobs located in Highland in 2023, about 6.4 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau puts 59 construction establishments in the area, which is where dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds tend to be parked between jobs.

The same LEHD figures count 338 manufacturing jobs and 160 in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. Across San Bernardino County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 809 farms, with milk, cattle and potted flowering plants at the top of the list. A cattle hauler or a dairy’s feed truck parked on a county farm can be collected from that farm; tell us the road and which gate to use.

• Our dump truck stays parked by the gravel pit south-west of Highland; does it have to leave the quarry for you to collect it?Keep the dump truck at the pit. Redlands Quarry is 1.4 miles south-west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we come to the truck at the site. Tell us who controls the gate so the visit can be arranged with them.
• Is driving my day cab back from the San Bernardino A Yard area to Highland required before pickup?Leave it by the tracks. The North American Rail Network places San Bernardino A Yard 8.5 miles west of Highland, and we collect from where the tractor is parked. Send the address and the VIN.
• Which office replaces a missing California title on a Highland-registered rig?The state’s title agency issues duplicate California titles. Begin that request early and tell us it is under way when you contact us, along with the registration you still hold.
