A rail yard east of downtown, a pit to the south-east
Just 1.1 miles east of the city, Napa Yard appears in the North American Rail Network that the FRA and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. If your tractor or flatbed shuttles loads to that yard, give us the street address where it sits and the name of whoever holds the keys.
Napa Quarry, an industrial-mineral mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 2.8 miles south-east of town. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer has been loading at that pit, send photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate, and tell us whether it is parked on quarry ground or at your own place.
South toward the strait
South of Napa toward the Carquinez shore
Lombard Yard lies 7.6 miles south of Napa, according to the rail network maintained by the FRA and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Lake Herman Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 14.1 miles to the south-east. Aggregate haulers working between those sites and job sites in the valley can stay where they are; we collect from the yard or the lot, as long as someone can open the gate.
Energy Information Administration records put the Selby-Crockett petroleum product terminal 17.2 miles south, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Shell Oil liquid bulk terminal 20.7 miles south-east. If your tractor has pulled tankers to either one, have the title, the current registration and any terminal or inspection paperwork in one folder before you call.
Two military sites appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings within about 20 miles: Travis Air Force Base, 19.6 miles east, and the Ozol Defense Fuel Support Point, 20.1 miles south-east. A truck kept near either gate needs a contact who can arrange access for the pickup, so name that person when you reach out.
Napa-registered haulers and what they carry
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 588 active carriers in Napa, and 554 of them are registered as intrastate against 33 interstate. A California title in the seller’s name and a current registration card are the two documents to find first.
General freight is the cargo listed by 165 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, with 59 carrying passengers, 43 hauling farm supplies and 42 moving machinery or large objects. Whether yours is a box truck, a shuttle bus, a feed hauler or a lowboy tractor, tell us which of those jobs it did and send a photo of the odometer and the door data plate.
Private fleets account for 212 of the Napa carriers in the federal census, meaning a winery, contractor or supplier running trucks for its own goods. If the truck is titled to a business, bring the name exactly as it reads on the title and the person authorised to sign for that company.
How far Napa trucks travel and how new they are
According to FMCSA’s census, Napa carriers keep 1,016 drivers on runs inside a 100-mile radius and send 839 further out. Among the 119 carriers that reported annual mileage to the same census, the median is 10,000 miles a truck. Wherever your truck finished its last run, in the valley or well outside it, we collect it from that spot.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 386 trucks inspected from August 2024 to August 2026, with a median model year of 2019 and 24 percent of them ten or more model years old. Note your own truck’s model year and engine make when you contact us; those two details shape the first questions we ask.
In the FMCSA census, the three biggest Napa fleets run 149, 75 and 57 power units. If you manage a fleet and are selling several units at once, list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we will plan collection unit by unit.
Valley work
Ranches, contractors and valley plants
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,772 farms in Napa County, with cattle, honey and equine leading the list. Stock trailers, flatbeds and farm trucks often stay on the property, so a ranch address and directions to the barn or shed are all we need to find one.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 34,241 jobs in Napa, with manufacturing at 2,048, construction at 1,878 and agriculture at 1,415. A dump truck from a building crew or a delivery truck from a bottling plant is sold the same way: title, registration, keys and a few clear photos.
Napa’s 390 construction businesses and 16 warehousing businesses are tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s truck that sits at a job site rather than an office can be collected there; tell us the site address and the hours the gate is open.
Clean-truck rules you may have read about
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high-priority and federal fleets are listed as repealed. Its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement is paused under a federal court filing.
None of those rules changes what you need to sell a truck in Napa: the title, the registration and photos of the cab, the frame and the VIN. If you have any compliance or emissions paperwork on file for the truck, include it with the rest.
The questions we get asked in Napa
- Does a truck sitting by Napa Quarry need to be driven into the city first?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Napa Quarry 2.8 miles south-east of Napa, and the truck can stay right there for collection. Give us the address and the person who can let us in.
- Can I sell a farm truck that has only ever worked inside Napa County?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 554 Napa carriers as intrastate, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,772 farms in the county. Selling a valley-only farm truck takes a California title and registration in your name.
- Can you pick up a tractor that last ran loads to the Selby-Crockett terminal?The Energy Information Administration places that petroleum product terminal 17.2 miles south of Napa; tell us whether the tractor is still there or back at your yard, and we arrange collection of the tractor at that address.
