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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Lathrop rail intermodal ramp 3.6 miles north-west of Manteca, and the North American Rail Network shows the Lathrop Intermodal Terminal yard at 4.1 miles in the same direction. A day cab that shuttles containers between those gates and a yard in Manteca can be collected at either end; give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Eight miles north-east, the Stockton ramp appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, while the Stockton Intermodal Terminal yard sits 8.3 miles out according to the North American Rail Network. If your tractor splits its weeks between Lathrop and Stockton, tell us where it will be parked on the day you want it gone, and have the registration card in the cab.

General freight is on the filings of 2,024 out of the 2,452 Manteca carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census shows as active. Sellers from that group usually have a sleeper or day cab with a dry van history; a clear photo of the VIN plate and the current registration lets us start without a phone call.

Fresh produce shows up on 663 Manteca carrier filings in the same FMCSA census, with refrigerated food and meat at 585 each. If your tractor pulled a reefer, send pictures of the unit along with the cab and note whether the trailer is part of the sale or staying with you.

Of those carriers, 1,531 run interstate, 917 stay inside California and 157 are private fleets, by FMCSA’s count. A private fleet selling a truck should have someone with signing authority for the company ready, since the title will be in the business name rather than a person’s.

Roadside checks of 3,290 Manteca-based trucks from August 2024 to August 2026 put the median model year at 2020, and FMCSA roadside inspection records show 13.1 percent of them were built ten or more years earlier. Whatever the year on your title, list it with the engine make so we can match the paperwork to the truck.

New registrations keep adding to that mix: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 217 Manteca carriers starting up in 2025 and 201 in 2024. An owner-operator who bought a truck when starting out should have the purchase paperwork and any lien release together before we schedule a visit.

Transportation and warehousing account for 2,255 of the 23,195 jobs in Manteca in 2023, about 9.7 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. The same LEHD figures put construction at 1,461 jobs and wholesale trade at 1,380. Box trucks and yard tractors from distribution work can be collected from the dock where they sit; tell us the hours the site is open.

Manteca has 181 construction businesses on the books of the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Mossdale Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 5 miles west of town. A dump truck or mixer that has run between that pit and local jobs can stay at the yard; send photos of the body and the chassis plate.

The Energy Information Administration lists the Tracy Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, 7.3 miles west of Manteca. If your truck is a fuel tanker, tell us the tank’s last load and whether its inspection papers are current, and keep those certificates with the title.

Milk, cattle and corn lead the county’s output across 3,439 San Joaquin County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Feed trucks, cattle haulers and silage rigs parked on a farm outside Manteca can be picked up there; give us directions to the gate and a contact on site.

The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements are listed as repealed, and a federal court record shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement paused. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation remains contested. None of that changes what we ask for: the California title, current registration and any smog or emissions records you hold.

If the title is lost, California’s title agency issues a duplicate, and the truck can wait while that is done. The National Bridge Inventory lists 16 bridges around Manteca with none load-posted and none under 14 feet, so tell us the street where the tractor is parked and we plan the route from there.

• My tractor is parked by the Lathrop Intermodal Terminal; does it have to come into Manteca first?The tractor can wait beside the Lathrop yard. The North American Rail Network puts that yard 4.1 miles north-west of Manteca, and we collect from the yard itself. Tell us the yard’s name and who can let us in.
• My reefer tractor hauled produce out of San Joaquin County. Which photos and papers help most at the start?Photos of the cab, the VIN plate and the reefer unit, plus the registration. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 663 Manteca carriers hauling fresh produce, so tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor.
• My dump truck is at the Mossdale gravel pit west of Manteca; will you collect it there?At the pit is fine. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Mossdale sand and gravel operation 5 miles west of Manteca; give us the gate contact and we arrange collection there.
