Base and valley
A town beside NAS Lemoore
NAS Lemoore CA lies 4.2 miles north-west of Lemoore Station on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map of military installations, and a smaller site it lists as the Sewage Evaporation Pond sits 1.8 miles to the south-east. If your truck is kept near the base gate or on a family lot off it, tell us the cross streets and whether anyone needs to sign us through, so the pickup is planned around access rather than guesswork.
Lemoore Station held 375 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), so a work truck here may well sit in a driveway or a shared yard rather than a terminal, and either spot is fine for collection. Send a photo of where the truck stands along with the cab and frame shots, and we can see straight away how a carrier will reach it.
Dairy and gin country
Tankers, cattle pots and module trucks from Kings County
Kings County counted 862 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and cotton heading its list of products. Bulk milk tankers, livestock haulers, feed trucks and module or bale trucks all come out of that mix, and each one is a truck we purchase. Tell us which body or trailer the chassis carried, and whether the equipment goes with it.
Farm trucks around Lemoore Station often sit on the ranch or dairy that owned them rather than in town. Leave yours there; give us the ranch road, a gate code or a phone number for whoever lets us in, and the title holder’s name if the truck was registered to the operation instead of to you.
If a dairy or cattle truck has a service book, a scale ticket folder or a log of hauls, keep it in the cab. Those records, matched with the VIN and an odometer photo, answer most of what we would otherwise ask by phone.
Bulk loads toward Van-G Logistics
Van-G Logistics, a liquid bulk terminal, is 20.7 miles north-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tank trucks and tractors that have run loads in and out of a terminal like that are part of what we buy, with or without the trailer.
For a tanker, list the product it last carried and the date of its last tank test if you have one. Photos of the valves, the hose tray and the data plate on the barrel help as much as pictures of the tractor itself.
Getting a carrier to the truck
Of the 7 bridges the National Bridge Inventory (Federal Highway Administration) records in and around Lemoore Station, none is load-posted and none has under 14 feet of clearance. A tall tractor or a loaded flatbed can be reached on these roads without a detour, so the only thing we need from you is the exact spot.
If the truck is on a dirt pad or a field edge, say so, and say whether it can roll onto a trailer on its own power or needs to be winched. That one line lets us send the right equipment the first time.
CARB rules as they read for Lemoore Station owners
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and a federal court record from the Eastern District of California shows enforcement paused on the 2036 requirement that all medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission. Neither status stops you selling a diesel truck from Kings County to us.
CARB’s own rulemaking file records the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high-priority and federal fleet requirements as repealed. Whatever your fleet’s reporting history under those rules, keep your CARB compliance paperwork with the title so it travels with the truck.
Pink slips, liens and dairy-owned titles
Have the California title signed by every owner it names, the current registration card, and a lien release if the truck was ever financed. A dairy, a farming partnership or a contractor on base work may hold the title in a business name, so check whose name is printed on it before we talk.
If the title is lost, California’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request before the pickup keeps the sale moving. Tell us at the start if you are waiting on one, and we will work the rest around it.
The questions we get asked in Lemoore Station
- Does a truck kept by the NAS Lemoore gate have to be driven into town first?NAS Lemoore CA is 4.2 miles north-west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map, and we collect from wherever the truck is parked near it. Tell us who controls access to the lot so the visit can be arranged.
- Do you buy milk tankers and livestock trucks from Kings County dairies?Milk and cattle head Kings County’s products among its 862 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the tankers and livestock haulers that serve them are trucks we buy. A VIN, a few photos and the titled owner’s name start the conversation.
- Can a carrier reach a truck on a ranch road outside Lemoore Station?None of the 7 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around Lemoore Station is load-posted or under 14 feet, so ranch and dairy roads here are reachable. Pass along the gate code and a ranch hand’s number.
- The pink slip for my base-area tractor vanished in a move. Is the sale off?California’s title agency issues duplicate titles, so start that request first and tell us you are waiting on it; the rest of the sale can be arranged around it.
