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

Seventy-five active motor carriers list a Mariposa address in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 66 of them hold intrastate authority only, with nine registered to cross the state line. A truck that never left California still needs the same two documents at handover, the California title and the current registration card, so pull both from the glovebox or the office drawer before you contact us.

Twenty-two of those Mariposa carriers run as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s census. If your truck is one of those, a water truck kept by a well driller or a flatbed owned by a fencing outfit, the title will be in the business’s name and the person who signs for the business should be the one at the pickup.

Four carriers newly registered in Mariposa during 2025, and one during 2024, appear in FMCSA’s carrier census. A new outfit that bought a used tractor and has now changed its plans can sell that tractor to us; bring the bill of sale from the earlier purchase if the title was never transferred into the new company’s name.

General freight leads the cargo list for Mariposa carriers, with 17 naming it in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 12 are registered for machinery and large objects, seven for logs, poles, beams and lumber, and six for farm supplies. That spread matches the trucks we collect here: a tractor that pulled a lowboy up the grade, a log truck with its bunks still on, or a stake bed that delivered feed and fencing.

Of the drivers tied to Mariposa carriers in FMCSA’s census, 113 work routes that stay inside a hundred-mile ring and 80 range further out. A truck on the long runs may be parked at a yard in the valley rather than at home, and that is where we pick it up; give us the yard’s address and the name of someone who can let our driver through the gate.

Eleven Mariposa carriers report their annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 10,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer and photograph it with the engine hour meter if the truck has one, then send those two pictures along with the cab, the frame and the tires.

The three Mariposa fleets with the most equipment in FMCSA’s register run 42, 20 and 19 power units, with 24, 11 and 34 drivers respectively. Selling one unit out of a fleet that size is a routine request for us; the fleet manager sends the VIN, the title and the registration for that one truck and nothing about the rest.

Most Mariposa carriers are far smaller than those three, and an owner with a single tractor sells it the same way: the title, the registration card, the keys and a set of photographs taken where the truck sits. If a lender’s name is printed on the title, ask that lender for a lien release before the pickup is booked.

Mt. Gaines Mine, a sand and gravel operation 11.4 miles west of Mariposa, and Blue Moon Underground Mine, a metal mine 16.3 miles west, both appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list of active operations. Dump trucks, water trucks and the tractors that pull belly dumps out of pits like those are trucks we purchase; tell us which site the truck served and keep any haul tickets or scale receipts you still have.

South of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Sierra White, a dimension-stone quarry 19.5 miles from Mariposa. A tractor that moved cut granite blocks on a flatbed or a lowboy can stay at the quarry road or at your yard; our driver comes to the truck, and the handover takes place wherever it is parked.

A truck that worked a mine site usually has an inspection record or a site safety sheet somewhere in the cab. Send those with the photos; they tell us what the truck did in a way the pictures cannot.

Around Mariposa the ranches run cattle, horses and goats: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 388 farms in Mariposa County with those three at the top of its list. A gooseneck-equipped flatbed, a stock truck or a hay hauler registered to a ranch is a truck we collect, and a ranch truck is often titled to a parent or a partner, so check whose name is on the title before you call.

Forty-five construction businesses operate in the Mariposa area on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally, and construction accounts for three percent of the town’s jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with transportation and warehousing at two percent. Dump trucks, service bodies and the tractors that move an excavator between foothill job sites all fit what we purchase, one truck at a time or several.

A contractor’s truck is frequently registered under a business name rather than an owner’s. Have an officer of the business, or a signed authorization from one, ready at the pickup along with the title and the registration card.

The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through its DMV field offices, and Mariposa has one of its own at 5264 Highway 49-North, Mariposa, 95338, about 0.4 miles from the center of town. A seller whose title is missing applies for a duplicate at that counter, with the VIN, a driver’s license and the last registration card in hand.

A truck registered to a business needs the duplicate title application signed by someone with authority for that business, and the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles will want a lien release if a lender still appears on its record. Sort the duplicate out before we schedule the pickup, and the handover at the truck needs nothing more than the title, the keys and a signature.

The California Air Resources Board amended its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, and the rule is now contested. The state’s requirement that every new medium- and heavy-duty truck sold from 2036 be zero-emission is on hold as well; a federal court record shows that enforcement is paused.

Mariposa owners of diesel tractors should also know that the drayage and high-priority fleet requirements under the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation have been repealed, as the California Air Resources Board records. None of those rules changes whether a truck parked in Mariposa can be sold to us; we buy trucks of any model year.

• My truck is parked at a yard in the valley, not in Mariposa. Where does the pickup happen?Mariposa carriers keep 80 drivers on routes that range beyond a hundred miles, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so a truck resting at a valley yard is a normal case for us; give us that yard’s address and a contact who can open the gate.
• Where does a Mariposa seller get a duplicate title?The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles field office at 5264 Highway 49-North, Mariposa, 95338, about 0.4 miles from the center of town, takes duplicate title applications; bring the VIN, your license and the last registration.
• My dump truck worked the Mt. Gaines pit west of Mariposa. Will you collect it from the pit road?Mt. Gaines Mine is a sand and gravel operation 11.4 miles west of Mariposa in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a dump truck or belly-dump tractor from that work is one we purchase; mention the site and send any haul tickets you kept.
• I run one of the small Mariposa fleets. Can I sell just one of the trucks?FMCSA’s carrier census puts Mariposa’s three biggest fleets at 42, 20 and 19 power units, and most of the town’s 75 carriers are far smaller; we buy one unit from any of them, with the title and registration for that truck alone.
