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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the TraPac Intermodal Container Transfer Facility in Wilmington 3 miles south-east of Lomita, with the West Basin Container Terminal ramp at Berths 120-126 about 3.1 miles out. A day cab that pulls chassis between those gates and a yard in town is the kind of tractor we collect. Send the VIN, the registration card and a clear photo of the door plate with your first message.

Two rail yards on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sit nearby: the Yang Ming Terminal Yard at 3 miles and Pier A Yard at 3.6 miles. If the tractor is parked inside a terminal or a leased chassis lot rather than at your home, tell us who controls the gate and the hours it opens.

Energy Information Administration listings put the Los Angeles Lubricants Plant 2 miles and the Rancho San Pedro Terminal 2.4 miles from Lomita, both to the south-east. Gather any tank or hazmat inspection sheets and service invoices for a truck that loaded at those racks, and list them in your first message.

Closer still, at 1.7 miles by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the San Pedro Fuel Depot, a military installation. A truck that has made deliveries onto restricted ground is still sold the same way; we need the title, the registration and a parking address that our driver is allowed to reach without a base pass.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 119 active carriers with a Lomita address, of which 51 list general freight and 12 list intermodal containers. Whether yours pulled dry vans across the basin or drayed boxes off the docks, tell us the body or trailer setup it ran with, and photograph the fifth wheel along with the cab and both sides.

Refuse is on that list too: the same federal census records 8 carriers hauling garbage, refuse or trash and 7 carrying passengers. Roll-offs, packers and buses are all trucks we buy; describe the body as well as the chassis and note any hoist or lift.

Of the 119 carriers, FMCSA lists 101 as intrastate and 18 as interstate, with 30 running private fleets for their own goods. An intrastate unit will normally be titled and registered only in California, so have that title in hand or know which lender holds it.

The three biggest Lomita fleets in the carrier census run 13, 13 and 10 power units. Selling several tractors from a fleet that size works one truck at a time; list each VIN with its parking address, and send a signed release from any lienholder alongside the matching title.

Among 26 carriers reporting it, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 26,250 miles per truck in a year. Read the odometer and photograph the dash when you write to us; that reading and the VIN come first.

Driver counts filed with FMCSA show 104 drivers working within 100 miles and 208 working beyond it. If your truck is out on a run when you decide to sell, give us the place it will finish and we arrange collection there instead of in Lomita.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record 3,856 jobs in Lomita in 2023, of them 282 in construction and 152 in transportation and warehousing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from that work are welcome; tell us the body length and any equipment mounted on it.

County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, counts 55 construction establishments here. If the truck sits at a jobsite or yard, give us that address and a name who can hand over keys.

The California Air Resources Board lists its Advanced Clean Fleets drayage requirements as repealed, and federal court records show enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement as paused. Neither status changes what you need to sell: a title in your name, current registration and a matching VIN.

If the title is lost, request a duplicate from California’s title agency before the sale, or tell us at the start so the paperwork can be arranged while the truck stays where it is parked.

• My tractor sits in a chassis lot near the TraPac ramp. Do I bring it to Lomita?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the TraPac ramp in Wilmington 3 miles from Lomita, and we collect from the lot itself; tell us who runs the gate.
• Do you take refuse trucks from Lomita?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 8 carriers here hauling garbage, refuse or trash, and packers and roll-offs are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the title and photos of the body.
• Our business moves its own goods with a couple of trucks kept in Lomita. Can we sell one?Company-owned trucks count; FMCSA’s carrier census lists 30 private fleets among the carriers based in Lomita. The officer who signs for the business signs the title, so have that person’s name and the current registration ready.
