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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Washington Mine, a metal mine, 7.6 miles east of Lewiston, and the La Grange Mine, a dimension-stone quarry, 9.8 miles to the west. A dump truck or flatbed that hauls from either site may be parked at the pit gate rather than in town, so give us the site name and the nearest road when you call.

Crystal Creek Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation, is 19.8 miles east according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck works that pit, tell us whether it stays there between loads; we collect from the yard or the driveway, wherever it sits, and a gate code or contact name saves a second trip.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 15 active carriers based in Lewiston, and every one of the 15 is registered for intrastate work only, with none listed as interstate. Four of them are private fleets moving their own goods. For a seller here, that means the registration and any California inspection paperwork are the records to pull together before the pickup.

Fleet sizes in town are small: according to the same federal census, one Lewiston carrier lists five power units with a single driver, and two others list one power unit and two drivers each. An owner-operator selling a lone tractor or dump truck is the usual case here, so a title in your own name and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires are all we need to start.

Cargo listings in FMCSA’s carrier census show two Lewiston carriers handling general freight, two moving machinery and large objects, one hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and one carrying metal sheets, coils and rolls. A log truck, a lowboy or a flatbed with coil racks all fit what we take.

If your rig hauled timber or heavy equipment, say what trailer goes with it and whether you are selling the tractor alone or as a set. Note any loader, bunks or chains that stay with the truck, since that changes what our driver brings to Lewiston.

Titles here are handled through DMV field offices. Six miles up the road, at 1511 Main Street, Weaverville, 96093, sits the field office the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles lists as 6.1 miles from Lewiston.

Should the paper title be missing, a duplicate can be requested at that Weaverville counter before we arrive. Bring the VIN, your identification and the current registration, and keep the receipt; we can tell you which form the department asks for if you are unsure.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 4 construction establishments for the area, a short list of firms that tend to keep a dump truck or a flatbed on hand. A contractor parting with one can have us collect it at the job site or the shop.

Across Trinity County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 139 farms, with cattle, cut flowers and cultivated greens, and hogs as the leading products. Ranch stake-beds and livestock haulers parked on a property outside Lewiston are trucks we pick up where they stand; send the gate directions with your photos.

Lewiston haulers should note that the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation from the California Air Resources Board stands contested. For the state’s 2036 requirement that all new medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission, enforcement is on hold under a federal court filing.

Lewiston owners should also know that the drayage, high-priority and federal fleet parts of the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation have been repealed. None of these rules stops you from selling a diesel truck to us, and the title transfer at the DMV works the same either way.

• My truck sits at the La Grange quarry west of Lewiston; can your driver get it from the pit?La Grange Mine sits 9.8 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from sites like that. Give us the road, the gate contact and where the truck is parked.
• My Lewiston truck’s title has gone missing; where in Trinity County do I get a new one?Weaverville’s DMV field office, at 1511 Main Street, is 6.1 miles away and handles titles for the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles. File for the duplicate at that Weaverville counter and hand our driver the receipt.
• My Lewiston truck has only carried loads within California; is that a problem for you?All 15 active Lewiston carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census are intrastate, so a California-only registration is the norm here. Have that registration and your title ready and we handle the rest.
• Will you take a Lewiston log truck or lowboy off my hands?Lewiston carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and machinery and large objects, among their cargo in FMCSA’s census, and those trucks are on our list. Tell us which trailer comes with the tractor.
