The Bradshaw terminal, one mile east
The Energy Information Administration places the Bradshaw petroleum product terminal about 1 mile east of La Riviera. A fuel tanker or tank-trailer tractor that loads there is often parked within a few minutes of the terminal gate, so tell us whether it sits at your home, a yard on Bradshaw Road or inside the terminal itself.
West of town, at roughly 8.5 miles, sits the Sacramento Terminal, also on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. If your tractor has pulled loads from both racks, say which trailer goes with the sale and which stays behind, and send a photo of the plate on each piece we are taking.
A tanker leaving La Riviera needs more than the title in the folder. Keep the title, the current California registration and any tank inspection certificates together, and photograph the VIN plate on the cab before you reach out to us.
Pits at Bradshaw and the Perkins Plant
Two sand and gravel operations appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list close to La Riviera: Bradshaw, about 1.8 miles south-east, and the Perkins Plant, about 2 miles south-west. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and end-dump tractors working those pits are a regular sight on the roads around town, and we collect them from the pit lot or your driveway.
Farther out, at 5.7 miles south-west, the Florin Plant is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a mineral processing plant. If your truck is kept at a plant rather than at home, give us the site address and the name of whoever on site can release it to our driver.
For a dump body, the bed and hoist matter to us as much as the chassis. Send photos of the box, the hoist and the tailgate along with shots of the cab and frame, and note the body maker if the plate is still readable.
Polk Yard to the south-west, South Sacramento Yard to the west
Polk Yard lies about 4 miles south-west of La Riviera and South Sacramento Yard about 7.3 miles west, per the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that move freight between rail sidings and local customers often end up parked near one of those yards between shifts.
If the truck sits in a fenced yard near the tracks, a gate code or a contact who can open up saves a second trip. Tell us the cross streets and whether a tow truck can get in and turn around.
Port and farms
The Sacramento-Yolo port and county farms
Listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Sacramento-Yolo Port sits about 15.4 miles south-west of La Riviera. A tractor that has run between the port and the east-county terminals can be collected wherever it is parked now; you do not have to drive it back into town first.
Across Sacramento County, 1,118 farms appear in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and milk leads their products ahead of corn and cattle. Milk tankers, grain trucks and livestock haulers kept on a farm lot are trucks we buy, so tell us the farm road and who can show our driver to the truck.
On a farm truck the title is sometimes in a family or ranch name rather than yours. Check whose name appears on it before we talk, since the owner of record is the one who signs.
Jobs counted in La Riviera
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 6,817 jobs in La Riviera in 2023, of which 81, or 1.2 percent, were in transportation and warehousing. Start by sending clear photos of the cab, frame and VIN plate of the truck you want to sell.
Have the title, the registration card and any service records you have kept in one place. If the title is missing, the California Department of Motor Vehicles handles duplicates, and we can tell you what to bring before you go.
Where the state truck rules stand
The California Air Resources Board lists the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high-priority and federal fleet requirements as repealed. When you contact us about a tractor kept in La Riviera, include its engine year and VIN with the title details.
A federal court filing in the Eastern District of California shows enforcement paused on the zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and the Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested. Keep the emissions label on the engine readable in your photos, since it tells us the engine family.
The questions we get asked in La Riviera
- Can your driver pick up my tank truck at the Bradshaw terminal lot east of La Riviera?The Energy Information Administration puts the Bradshaw terminal about a mile east of La Riviera, and we pick up at the terminal lot or nearby yard. Give us the address and a contact who can let our driver in.
- My dump truck hauls from the Perkins Plant pit; should the bed be empty for pickup?Perkins Plant is about 2 miles south-west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and an empty bed lets our driver load the truck without a stop to dump. Send photos of the box and hoist so we know what we are collecting.
- The truck hauls milk for a Sacramento County dairy, so whose signature goes on the title?Milk tops the farm products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture for Sacramento County, and many of those trucks are titled to the farm. Whoever is named on the title signs it, whether that is you, a family member or the farm business.
- I can’t find the pink slip for a truck parked off Bradshaw Road; who replaces it?Owners in La Riviera apply for a duplicate through the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Start that request, then contact us with the VIN so we can line up everything else while it is in process.
