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

Farm and field work accounts for 343 of Mecca’s 915 jobs in 2023, or 37.5 percent, under the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting heading of the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If your truck has spent its seasons moving crops out of the rows around town, it may be parked at a grower’s yard or beside a shed rather than at your house. Give us the ranch road and gate it sits behind.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 10 Mecca carriers listing fresh produce as a cargo and 4 listing refrigerated food. A reefer tractor or a straight truck with a cold box both fit here. Send a photo of the reefer unit’s plate along with the cab and VIN, and tell us its make.

Countywide, milk, mushrooms and cotton head the commodity list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture for Riverside County. A truck that hauled for a dairy or a mushroom grower can be collected from that operation’s lot, as long as someone there can open the gate on the day.

Four Mecca carriers name grain, feed and hay among their loads, according to the federal carrier census kept by FMCSA. Flatbeds and dump trailers that move bales between farms are part of what we take, tractor and trailer together or each on its own.

Have the California title in the registered owner’s name ready, plus the current registration card. If the truck is still carrying a loan, tell us the lender’s name at the start so the payoff paperwork can be lined up while the pickup is planned.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists West Coast Aggregate Supply Inc, a sand and gravel operation, 4.8 miles north of town. Dump trucks and end dumps that load at a pit like that can be picked up at the pit lot or at your yard, whichever is easier to reach.

Coachella Valley Aggregate, another sand and gravel site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, sits 12.7 miles to the north. If your truck worked the pit roads, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the tires with the VIN, and mention the gross weight on the door sticker.

An owner-operator with one tractor and a grower with a few farm trucks get the same process: one call, the VIN, photos, and a pickup where the truck is parked.

In the same FMCSA records, the three biggest local fleets each run 5 power units, with 4 or 5 drivers apiece. Selling two or three trucks at once from a yard that size is simple to arrange; list each VIN and say whether they all sit at one address.

A typical Mecca truck covers 36,000 miles a year, the median across the 29 local carriers whose mileage FMCSA records hold. Note the odometer reading when you first contact us; it is one of the first things we ask.

FMCSA carrier filings count 39 Mecca drivers working within 100 miles of home and 56 going beyond that radius. A long-haul sleeper may be sitting somewhere other than Mecca when you decide to sell; give us its current address and we arrange collection there.

The carrier census also shows 7 new carriers registered in Mecca during 2025, against none in 2024. If you started a trucking business recently and are now closing it, have your USDOT number and the title together, and we will walk through the rest.

The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high priority and federal fleets have been repealed, and its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested. A federal court filing shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused.

None of those rules changes what you bring to a sale here: the title, the registration and photos of the truck. If you are unsure where a particular rule stands for your truck, ask us when you call and we will point you to the state’s own notice.

• My truck is parked at a gravel pit north of Mecca. Must I haul it off the pit lot myself?West Coast Aggregate Supply Inc sits 4.8 miles north of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we can collect from a pit lot like that. Send the pit’s address and a contact at the scale house who can wave the driver through.
• Do you buy reefer trucks that hauled produce out of the Coachella Valley?Fresh produce is a listed cargo for 10 Mecca carriers on FMCSA’s census, and reefer tractors and straight trucks from that work are part of what we take. Send the VIN, photos of the cab and the reefer unit, and the title details.
• I have three farm trucks at one ranch. Will one trip collect all of them?The biggest Mecca fleets on FMCSA’s records run 5 power units, so a small group of trucks from one ranch is a familiar shape here. List every VIN, confirm they share an address, and we plan one collection.
