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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 89 active motor carriers based in Mill Valley, and the biggest of them runs 12 power units with 12 drivers. The same federal census lists the next two as one with 6 power units and 3 drivers and one with 3 power units and 6 drivers. A seller here is usually an owner with one truck or a handful, so have the title and current registration for each unit you want to sell on the table when you call.

Of those 89 carriers, 77 are intrastate, 12 run interstate and 28 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck carried your own company’s materials rather than freight for hire, say so; the paperwork we ask for is the same, but it tells us what equipment to expect on the chassis.

Mill Valley added 6 freshly registered carriers in 2025 and 4 in 2024, going by the federal carrier census. If you started up in one of those years and are now selling the truck you started with, the registration you filed with FMCSA and your California title are the two documents that matter most.

General freight is the most common cargo listed, with 21 local carriers declaring it in FMCSA’s carrier census, so box trucks, straight trucks and day cabs make up a good share of what is parked around town. Photograph the cargo box or trailer along with the cab, and note the body length when you send them.

Six Mill Valley carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo on their FMCSA census filings, and another six list passengers. A log truck, a flatbed with stakes or a shuttle bus each have their own equipment to photograph: the bunks and stakes on a lumber rig, the seating and wheelchair lift on a passenger vehicle.

Garbage, refuse and trash is declared by 4 local carriers, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are selling a packer or roll-off truck, a photo of the body controls and the hydraulic arm or hoist alongside the VIN plate saves a second round of questions.

Mill Valley carriers report 125 drivers working within a 100-mile radius and 107 going beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Either way, the truck is most likely parked at your yard or your home when you decide to sell, and that is where we collect it.

Nine local carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median across them comes to 5,000 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you contact us; those two details let us start on your truck before anything else.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the San Rafael Rock Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 7.1 miles north-east of Mill Valley. If your dump truck or transfer rig has hauled aggregate out of there, tell us where it is kept now and whether a loader or gate code is needed to reach it.

To the east, WEST CHEVRON YARD sits 8.5 miles away and RICHMOND YARD 9.3 miles away, both on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals in the same stretch, RICHMOND CA TERMINAL at 8.5 miles and RICHMOND at 9.3 miles. A tanker or tractor that has served those terminals can stay parked over there; give us the lot address and a contact who can let us in.

Water freight is close as well: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond, a roll-on/roll-off facility, 9.6 miles east, with the port of Richmond at 10.4 miles and San Francisco Port 10.5 miles south-east. If your truck works the docks on either side of the bay, send the plate number and the yard it sits in so collection can be arranged with whoever controls the gate.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 5,502 jobs in Mill Valley in 2023, with 164 of them in construction, 118 in wholesale trade and 61 in manufacturing. Among Mill Valley’s employers, 78 are construction businesses, a figure taken from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for the town. Contractors selling a dump truck, stake bed or flatbed should gather the title and any service records kept by the shop that maintained it.

Out in the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 255 farms in Marin County, with milk, cattle and equine at the top of the list. A livestock hauler, horse trailer tractor or milk truck kept on a ranch can be collected right from the property; tell us which road it is on and whether the driveway takes a tow rig.

The title is the document that transfers the truck, and a lost one is replaced through California’s title agency before the sale closes. If a lender is still on the title, bring the lien release or the lender’s contact details so the transfer can be completed.

The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and its Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements as repealed. Whatever happens with those rules, keep the engine label and any emissions paperwork with the truck, since they identify the engine family on the title paperwork you hand over.
