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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 109 active carriers with a Keyes address, and 87 of them name general freight among their cargo. If your tractor has pulled dry vans or flatbeds for one of those outfits, tell us the trailer types it worked with and whether the fifth wheel was ever swapped, so we know what we are coming to collect.

Fresh produce appears on 32 Keyes carrier registrations, and refrigerated food and meat each appear on 25, according to the same FMCSA census. A reefer unit or a tractor set up for cold loads should come with its reefer hours and service log; photograph the unit’s display alongside the cab and the VIN plate.

Of those 109 carriers, 61 run interstate, 48 stay intrastate and 6 are private fleets, by FMCSA’s count. An intrastate truck is likely to be parked somewhere in the valley when you call us; an interstate one may be on the road, so tell us where it will sit on the day we arrange pickup.

Inspectors stopped 161 trucks from Keyes carriers between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year of that group at 2021. Whatever the year of yours, have the title and current registration in the cab or on your phone before you get in touch.

FMCSA roadside inspection records also show 15.5 percent of those 161 trucks were ten or more model years old. For an older tractor or straight truck, the paperwork matters most: the title in your name, the registration, and any service invoices you have kept from the shop that did the work.

Fifty-six Keyes carriers file yearly mileage with FMCSA’s carrier census, and the midpoint across them is 74,662 miles for each truck. Read the odometer off the dash and send it with the VIN; those two figures answer most of what we would otherwise ask.

One Keyes fleet in FMCSA’s carrier census runs 25 power units with 40 drivers, another runs 13 units with 29 drivers, and a third has 11 of each. If you are letting go of several trucks from an operation that size, send one list with every VIN, and we can plan a single collection instead of separate trips.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s census shows 6 carriers first registered in Keyes in 2025 and 3 in 2024. A newer operator selling a truck bought on finance should have the lienholder’s name and contact details ready; the lienholder signs off the title.

Rogers Yard lies 4.6 miles north-west of Keyes and Kearney Yard 4.8 miles south, both listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles between those yards is often parked near one of them; give us the yard name or the street and we will meet the truck there.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hughson Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation 6.3 miles north-east, and Munn & Perkins Pit & Mill, 14.5 miles north. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from those pits can be collected at the site with the operator’s permission; tell us the gate hours and who signs us in.

West of town by 24 miles, the Vernalis Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine. If your truck hauled from Vernalis, send photos of the bed or trailer as well as the cab and frame, plus the plate number for the registration check.

Manufacturing held 492 of the 1,507 Keyes jobs recorded for 2023, a 32.6 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that serve plants here often carry company decals; leave them on for the photos and tell us if they will come off before pickup.

Wholesale trade accounted for 390 of those jobs and transportation and warehousing for 226, on the same LEHD figures. If your truck has run deliveries out of a distribution building, note the loading-dock address as a pickup point so we can reach it without a second visit.

Only 3 construction establishments show for Keyes in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors selling a dump or flatbed should bring the title and any DOT inspection sticker records together, since those are what we check first.

Stanislaus County has 3,455 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn at the top of the list. Livestock trailers, feed trucks and grain hauler tractors from those operations are often kept on the farm; send the farm address and a gate code if there is one.

A farm truck in California may be titled to the ranch rather than to a person, so check the name on the certificate before you contact us. If the title has gone missing, California’s title agency issues a duplicate, and having it in hand keeps the sale straightforward.

• Which papers do intrastate Keyes haulers need to hand over?FMCSA’s census lists 48 of 109 Keyes carriers as intrastate, and for a truck from any of them we ask to see the same papers. Have the title in your name, the current registration, and any service records you have kept.
• Can you pick up from a gravel pit outside town?Hughson Aggregates, 6.3 miles north-east, and Munn & Perkins Pit & Mill, 14.5 miles north, are both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we come to the truck at sites like those. Let us know the site rules and who signs visitors in.
