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

Piers on the San Francisco side of the Golden Gate are close: the San Francisco Port is 7.5 miles south-east of the Marin City housing hills, says the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor has pulled loads off those piers, note which terminal gates it used and keep its registration card in the cab, because those are the first two things we ask about when a port truck comes up for sale.

Across the water to the east, the Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond, a roll-on/roll-off facility, lies 8.4 miles away by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures, and the agency lists the Port of Richmond itself at 10.1 miles north-east. A car-hauler or flatbed parked at either site can be collected there; send us the lot address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

Photos help most when they are taken where the truck sits. For a tractor kept near the Richmond docks, shoot both sides of the cab, the fifth wheel, the tires and the dash with the ignition on, and send them along with the VIN.

Two petroleum product terminals show up on the Energy Information Administration’s map close to Marin City: RICHMOND CA TERMINAL at 7.9 miles north-east and a second site listed as RICHMOND CA at 8.4 miles east. Tankers and fuel delivery straight trucks that load at racks like these are trucks we buy.

If your tanker has loaded at a Richmond rack, gather the tank inspection certificates and any hazmat placard records before you contact us. Those papers travel with the truck, and having them in one folder means the paperwork side of the sale goes cleanly.

According to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, WEST CHEVRON YARD lies 8.2 miles north-east of Marin City and RICHMOND YARD 8.7 miles in the same direction. Day cabs that shuttle freight between those yards and nearby warehouses fit what we purchase.

A yard tractor or day cab kept inside a rail property usually needs an escort to reach. Give us the yard entrance you use, a contact who can let us in, and the hours the gate is staffed, and we will plan the pickup around that site rather than asking you to move the truck.

Crushed stone comes out of the San Rafael Rock Quarry, which sits 8.5 miles north-east of Marin City on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register of mines. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate out of a quarry like that one are among the trucks we take.

For a dump truck, tell us the body make, the bed length and whether it has a pup or transfer box with it. Add pictures of the hoist, the tailgate and the axles, so the whole setup is in front of us before a pickup is booked.

Marin County had 255 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and equine at the top of the county’s list. Milk tankers, livestock haulers, feed trucks and horse transporters all come off operations of that kind, and we buy each of them.

A ranch truck often lives on a gravel lane far from pavement. When you write to us, describe the road in to the barn or pasture, say whether a tow rig can turn around there, and mention any trailer that should go with the truck.

Marin City held 364 jobs in 2023, a small local workforce on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Whether your truck served one of those local employers or ran routes across the bay, the sale starts with the title, signed by every owner named on it.

If the title has gone missing, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before we schedule a collection. Keep the current registration, any service invoices and the lien release, if there was ever a loan on the truck, in the same envelope so the transfer has everything it needs.

• My tractor is parked by the Point Potrero Marine Terminal in Richmond. Should it be brought across the Richmond-San Rafael side to Marin City before you collect?Point Potrero sits 8.4 miles east of Marin City by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures, and we collect trucks where they are parked, so leave it at the terminal and give us the lot owner’s contact.
• Will you take a livestock or milk truck from a West Marin ranch?Milk, cattle and equine lead the farm list for Marin County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks that serve those operations are ones we buy; describe the access road so the right rig is sent.
• I lost the title to a dump truck that hauled from the San Rafael Rock Quarry. Where do I get a replacement before selling the quarry truck?Trucks from the San Rafael Rock Quarry area, 8.5 miles north-east per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, still need a clean title to sell, so ask the state’s title agency for a duplicate and tell us once it is on its way.
