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

Meeker Ave Yard lies 3.7 miles west of the Kensington hills on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics publish, and a tractor that shuttles freight off it may be sitting in a Richmond lot rather than on a Kensington driveway. Give us the street address where it is parked and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Two petroleum product terminals, one listed as Richmond and the other as Richmond Products Terminal, stand 4.5 and 4.6 miles west according to the Energy Information Administration. If your rig pulled fuel loads from either one, have the title and current registration in the cab folder and mention the tank trailer, if one goes with the sale, when you first call.

Before anyone heads down from the hill, send pictures of the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and each axle taken in daylight, plus the VIN plate as its own picture.

Per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond is a roll-on/roll-off terminal 4.5 miles west of town, and the port of Richmond itself lies 5.2 miles to the north-west. Vehicle-carrier and flatbed work around those berths leaves a truck parked close to the water, and we can collect it from a terminal-side yard as long as you tell us who controls access.

A truck stored inside a port gate needs a contact who can sign us in. Write down that person’s name and number alongside the VIN before you reach out, and keep any terminal access paperwork with the title.

Emeryville Yard sits 4.9 miles south of Kensington on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that drayed boxes between that yard and the waterfront are the kind of tractor we collect, and service records from those runs travel well with the title.

Oakland, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a strategic seaport, lies 5.9 miles south, and the TraPac Terminal rail intermodal ramp is 6.7 miles in the same direction. A container chassis tractor that finished its last shift near those berths can stay where it is; send us the yard name and a photo of the odometer, and we plan the pickup around that spot.

If the truck is registered to a business rather than to you personally, have the company paperwork that shows who may sign the title, since an Oakland port tractor is often titled to a small operating company.

Kensington held 850 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a small figure for a hillside town of homes. A truck kept here is often a work vehicle parked between East Bay jobs, and a home driveway on these streets is a fine place for us to collect it.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 405 farms in Contra Costa County, with cattle, flower seeds and bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, stake beds and farm trucks from the eastern half of the county are welcome; tell us the ranch road or field gate where the truck waits and whether it is reachable after rain.

The California Air Resources Board lists its Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high-priority and federal fleets as repealed. Owners of Oakland and Richmond port tractors who held a truck back because of those requirements can now simply tell us its model year and engine family when they call.

A federal court filing in the Eastern District of California records enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles as paused, while the Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation remains contested. Keep the emissions label photo and any smog or inspection records you have; they answer the compliance questions in one step.

• My tractor sits at a yard near the Oakland waterfront. Must it be moved up the hill to Kensington before you collect it?Oakland’s strategic seaport is 5.9 miles south of Kensington by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ listing, and we come to the truck at the yard where it sits. Name the yard and the person who can let us through its gate onto the lot.
• My tanker pulled loads from the Richmond fuel terminals west of Kensington, so what paperwork should sit in the cab?The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals about 4.5 miles west of Kensington, and a tanker tractor from that work needs its title, registration and any service records on hand. Say up front whether the Richmond tank trailer goes along with the tractor.
• Will you collect a cattle or seed-farm truck from the eastern end of Contra Costa County?Contra Costa County has 405 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle and flower seeds, and trucks from that work are ones we collect. Text us pictures, the VIN and the ranch or farm address where the truck waits.
