We buy trucks in McClellan Park

The installation this place is named after is carried in the national record with a status of closed. It is not a reduced base or a caretaker base — the row says closed, and it resolves at 0.08 miles to its own census place, which is the place you are reading about. It is the first closed row among the eleven installations that are their own census place.

We are saying that first because the alternative is worse. A page built from the name alone, without reading the status field, would put an operating Air Force base here and describe traffic that stopped. What the site is used for now we did not establish, and we are not going to fill that in from the name.

That closure is the whole reason this page is not about base support work. What surrounds the place now is north Sacramento County: an ordinary mix of distribution, construction and trades, on ordinary county and city streets, served by whoever is nearest rather than by anyone with a gate pass. What was once Air Force traffic is now North Highlands traffic.

The county is worth stating carefully too. Sacramento County here was derived by reverse-geocoding this row’s own coordinate rather than read from a source field, so it is exactly as good as that coordinate. It is right; the way we know it is part of the answer, and on a row where the name has already misled once, that seems worth saying twice.

So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. Around here that means box trucks and flatbeds on distribution first, then day cabs on short freight runs, dump trucks and work trucks off local construction, service bodies on the trades, and pickups everywhere.

North Highlands and Antelope are next door, with Rio Linda west, Foothill Farms south and Citrus Heights east, and Sacramento itself down the road; all of them carry pages of their own. It is the same form whichever one you start on.

That is state law rather than anything local, and it is the rule truck sellers misquote most often. CVC sections 35550 to 35558 set a statutory range of 34,000 to 80,000 lb by axle count and spacing, and § 35551(a) is a table rather than the federal Bridge Formula — no formula is declared in the statute at all.

The California table does not exactly match the Federal Bridge Table, including at three and four axles. So a configuration that is legal under one can be over under the other, and “it makes bridge formula” is a claim about which table you mean. If someone has told you your truck makes it, that is worth knowing before you repeat it.

Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the DMV and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.

What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. California sets no percentage: CVC § 544 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck.

How does it get collected, and how am I paid? There is no clock on any of this. Around here we can come to you and drive it away, come to you and tow it, buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you can drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
