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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Lathrop, CA rail intermodal ramp 3.6 miles north-east of town, and the North American Rail Network lists the Lathrop Intermodal Terminal rail yard at 3.9 miles in that same direction. A day cab that shuttles boxes off that ramp is a truck we buy, so send us its VIN, the cab and chassis photos, and the yard address where it parks between loads.

Tracy Yard, another rail yard on the North American Rail Network, lies 6.4 miles south-west of Lathrop. If your tractor splits its shifts between the two yards, tell us which one it will sit at on collection day, and we will route the pickup to that gate rather than asking you to move it.

Of the 858 active Lathrop carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 490 cross state lines, 367 stay inside California and 46 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever of those describes you, the paperwork we ask for is the same short list: the title, the current registration and the USDOT number the truck operated under.

Lathrop gained 69 new carriers in 2025 and 60 in 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you registered your authority in one of those years and are now selling the tractor you started with, have the purchase paperwork and the title in your name ready, and the sale moves on those two documents.

The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census for Lathrop field 86, 62 and 52 power units. Selling several trucks at once from a lot that size is something we handle in one visit; list each unit’s VIN and where it is parked, and we schedule them together.

Of Lathrop’s carriers, 705 haul general freight, 192 carry fresh produce, and 182 each move refrigerated food and meat, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are selling a tractor with a reefer trailer attached, tell us whether the trailer goes with it, and include the reefer unit’s make and hour reading with your photos.

San Joaquin County holds 3,439 farms, and milk, cattle and corn lead its output in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Trucks that collect from dairies and feed yards are often parked out on the farm itself; give us the ranch road and gate details so the driver who collects it can find the truck.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 932 drivers here staying within 100 miles of base and 1,828 working beyond it. A long-haul sleeper may be on the road when you contact us, so give us the date it returns to Lathrop and we will plan collection around that.

For a Lathrop tractor, 55,601 miles a year is the median FMCSA’s carrier census reports, drawn from the 423 carriers here that file mileage. Put the odometer reading in a photo of the dash so the figure we work from is the one on the truck.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 1,204 Lathrop-based trucks, and the median one carried a 2020 model year, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. We buy across that whole range, from recent tractors to older units, so state the model year in your first message along with the engine make.

Of those 1,204 Lathrop trucks, FMCSA roadside inspection records show 15.7 percent were ten model years old or older. For an older unit, any service records you kept help us confirm the engine and transmission it carries, and a copy of the latest inspection report belongs in the same folder.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 13,760 jobs in Lathrop in 2023, with 4,150 in transportation and warehousing and 3,279 in manufacturing. A tractor that runs between distribution centres and plants in town is usually parked at a dock or a yard; tell us whether we need a gate pass or a site contact to reach it.

Construction accounts for 1,031 jobs on the LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns lists 47 construction establishments and 15 warehousing ones here. The Mossdale Plant, a sand and gravel operation 2.6 miles south of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is where dump trucks and end dumps load; if yours sits on a job site, send the site address and a photo of the bed.

The Energy Information Administration lists the Tracy Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, 4.3 miles south-west of Lathrop. For a fuel tractor that has worked that rack, include the tank trailer’s details if it is part of the sale, and keep the title and registration for both units together.

• Can you collect my truck at the Lathrop intermodal yards?The Lathrop Intermodal Terminal sits 3.9 miles north-east of town on the North American Rail Network, and Tracy Yard is 6.4 miles south-west; we collect at either, or at your own lot, once you give us the address and gate details.
