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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Pillar Point Space Force Station one mile south of Moss Beach, close enough that a truck parked in town and one parked near the station are on the same stretch of coast. If your truck sits at a house, a shop lot or a yard off the coast road, send us that address and we collect it where it is.

Moss Beach is home to 2,683 residents, a figure from the Census Bureau, so most trucks here belong to one owner or a small outfit rather than a large yard. Tell us who holds the title, where the keys are and whether the truck can be reached by a tow rig, and the pickup can be planned around those three answers.

Construction filled roughly one Moss Beach job in six in 2023, 76 of 471 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, which is a 16.1 percent share for the trades along this piece of the coast. Dump trucks, flatbeds, service bodies and pickups with racks are the kind of equipment that work produces, and every one of them is a truck we purchase from its owner.

Manufacturing held 67 of those positions in the same LEHD release, or 14.2 percent. Box trucks and straight trucks that carry finished goods off the coast fit here too; have the registration card and a few clear photos of the cab, the body and the VIN plate ready when you reach out.

Moss Beach’s building trades show up as just four construction establishments when the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies the town’s employers. If your truck worked for one of those outfits and the title is in a company name, have whoever signs for the company on hand when the paperwork is done.

The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles truck titles here through its DMV field offices, and the nearest is the San Mateo office at 425 N Amphlett Boulevard, San Mateo, 94401, about 10.6 miles from Moss Beach. A lost California title gets a duplicate there before the truck changes hands.

Bring the VIN, your driver’s license and any lien release to that field office if the title needs a duplicate or a name corrected. Once the Department of Motor Vehicles issues it, send us a photo of the front and back so the signatures can be checked before pickup day.

Head north-east from the Moss Beach shoreline for 11.3 miles and you reach South San Francisco Yard, a rail yard the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics carry on their North American Rail Network. Day cabs and drayage tractors that shuttle freight to a rail yard like that one are trucks we buy; tell us whether yours is parked at the yard or back on the coast.

Past that yard, 13.5 miles out from the Moss Beach coast, sits the Brisbane petroleum product terminal that the Energy Information Administration records. A fuel tanker or a tractor that has pulled tank trailers from Brisbane should come with its tank inspection records, and the trailer can be listed separately if you are selling it too.

Across the ridge to the east, Redwood City holds both a port, 15.7 miles away on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and Redwood City Yard, 15.6 miles out on the North American Rail Network. Trucks that load at the wharf and trucks that meet the trains there run the same short route over from the coast.

If your truck is kept in Redwood City rather than in Moss Beach, give us that address instead. We arrange collection at the yard, the lot or the driveway, and the title can still carry your coastal address.

Pier 92 Marine Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation 17.3 miles north-east, and Langley Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone site 18.4 miles south-east, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. End dumps, transfer trucks and mixers that haul from pits like these are on our list; note the body type and the axle count when you contact us.

Port of San Francisco - Pier 80 is a roll-on/roll-off terminal 17.6 miles north-east, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Car carriers and lowboys that load vehicles and equipment at a ro-ro pier qualify as well, and photos of the deck and ramps help us see the whole rig.

Moss Beach shares San Mateo County with 250 farms, where potted flowering plants, mushrooms and foliage plants lead the list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Refrigerated box trucks and straight trucks that move nursery stock and produce from those growers are trucks we take on.

For a reefer unit, send the hours reading off the refrigeration unit along with the truck’s VIN. A grower selling a truck registered to the farm business should have the farm’s name on the title match the name on the bill of sale.

The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements have been repealed, and enforcement of the 2036 100 percent medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission sales requirement is paused under a federal court filing. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, for its part, is still contested as a Moss Beach owner decides to sell.

None of those rules changes the paperwork you need to sell to us in Moss Beach: the title, the registration and photos. If you have a CARB compliance record for the truck, include it with the rest.
