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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 30 active carriers based in Kentfield, and 27 of them run intrastate while only 3 are authorised to cross state lines. If your truck has spent its working life on California roads, keep its California registration card in the cab and have the title in the name shown on it; we check the two against each other at collection.

Nine of those 30 Kentfield carriers are private fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A truck from a private fleet often comes with the owning business’s service log; if yours does, photograph the most recent pages and send them with the VIN when you first get in touch.

The three biggest operators in town run 9, 6 and 2 power units according to FMCSA’s carrier census, with 9, 6 and 6 drivers. Sellers here are mostly owner-operators or small outfits, so whoever signs the title is usually the person we speak to from the first call to the moment the truck is loaded.

General freight is the most common cargo line among Kentfield carriers, with 8 of them listing it on FMCSA’s carrier census. Box trucks, day cabs and straight trucks doing that work are all trucks we buy; tell us the body type and its length so we can plan the right equipment for pickup.

Three local carriers list garbage, refuse and trash, and another three list logs, poles, beams and lumber, per the federal carrier register. Refuse bodies and log trailers are awkward to load, so tell us whether the truck is parked on a yard, a driveway or a hillside lot, and send photos of the body as well as the cab.

Two Kentfield carriers record driveaway and towaway operations in the FMCSA census. If your truck has been moved under its own power on delivery runs, the same title, registration and photos apply; tell us where it is sitting today, even if that is outside Marin.

Drivers working for Kentfield carriers are mostly local: FMCSA records 160 of them operating within 100 miles and 25 operating beyond that radius. If your truck stays on Bay Area routes, we collect it where it ends its shift, whether that is in Marin, across the bridge in Richmond or down in San Francisco.

Six Kentfield carriers file annual mileage with FMCSA, and the middle figure among their trucks is 8,281 miles a year. Read the odometer before you call and give us that figure alongside the VIN; with those two numbers we can ask the right follow-up questions about your truck.

On the same carrier census, Kentfield gained 2 new carriers in 2025 and none in 2024. A newly registered operator selling its first truck should have the USDOT number, the title and the most recent registration together before contacting us.

Crushed stone comes out of San Rafael Rock Quarry, which Mine Safety and Health Administration records place 6.7 miles north-east of Kentfield. A dump truck or tractor that hauls aggregate out of the quarry can be collected from a site near it; give us the gate contact and the hours the site is open.

East across the bay, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places West Chevron Yard 9.1 miles from Kentfield and Richmond Yard 10 miles out. If your truck is parked by one of those yards, tell us the street address and whether a tow truck can reach it without entering the rail property.

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals in Richmond, at 9.3 and 10.2 miles east, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility at the Port of Richmond, 10.6 miles away. Tank trucks and car-carriers working those sites are on our list; keep any site inspection sheets with the title so they travel with the truck.

Richmond’s port sits 10.9 miles east and the San Francisco port 12.6 miles south-east, both on Bureau of Transportation Statistics port listings. A truck that is stored near either waterfront does not need to come back to Kentfield first; we arrange the pickup where it is.

Of the 4,468 jobs counted in Kentfield for 2023, construction held 83, or 1.9 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Work trucks from small contractors, such as flatbeds, dump bodies and stake beds, are all ones we take; send a photo of the deck or bed along with the cab.

Marin builders near Kentfield number 33 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tables. If your truck belonged to one of them and the title still carries the company name, have whoever is authorised to sign for that company ready, plus a copy of the registration.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 255 farms in Marin County, with milk, cattle and equine named as the leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and the trucks that pull horse trailers on those operations are trucks we buy, collected straight from the ranch.

On a working farm the truck can be parked far from a paved road. Before we come, tell us the ranch address, which gate to use and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck, and have the title and registration in the farmhouse rather than in the cab.

The California Air Resources Board has posted amendments to its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, a rule whose status is contested, and a federal court record shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused. Neither changes what a Kentfield seller needs to have ready: title, registration and photos.

The board’s own rulemaking page records that the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements have been repealed. A Kentfield owner who had been weighing those fleet requirements can still sell the truck to us with the usual paperwork.

• My Kentfield-registered truck sits beside the Richmond rail yards across the bay; is that a problem for pickup?Richmond Yard sits 10 miles east of Kentfield on the North American Rail Network, and we collect trucks wherever they are parked. Send the Richmond street address plus the name of whoever holds the yard key.
• My dump truck carries stone out of San Rafael Rock Quarry; would you take it?San Rafael Rock Quarry, 6.7 miles north-east of Kentfield on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is the kind of site our dump truck sellers work from. Pass along the VIN and odometer figure, then photograph the dump bed from the side and the cab from the front.
• I run a small refuse or lumber outfit in Kentfield. Is my truck too specialised?Three Kentfield carriers list refuse and three list lumber on FMCSA’s carrier census, and those bodies are trucks we buy. Tell us the body type and where the truck is parked so we bring the right equipment.
• My truck worked a Marin County ranch. What do I need ready?Marin County has 255 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and ranch trucks need the same papers as any other: the title in your name, current registration and photos. Tell us which gate to use and whether the ground will take a tow truck.
