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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Air Force Plant 42 about 2.8 miles north-east of central Palmdale. If your truck sits in a yard on that side of town, send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we will arrange the collection with them rather than asking you to move it.

Manufacturing accounts for 8,859 of the city’s 38,310 jobs in 2023, or 23.1 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors serving those employers can all be sold to us; have the title in the registered owner’s name and a recent registration card on hand before you call.

Littlerock Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, lies about 5.9 miles south-east, and a second sand and gravel site listed under the Palmdale name lies 6.3 miles east, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and transfer rigs from those pits are often parked at the operator’s lot, so tell us the site and whether a visitor needs an escort to reach the truck.

Further out, Mine Safety and Health Administration listings show Acton Clay Quarries 11 miles south, Big Rock Creek Quarry 15.2 miles east and the Big Iron DG Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, 21 miles north. If your truck is at one of these, send a photo of the VIN plate and one of the odometer along with the site name.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 279 construction establishments, and LEHD job counts put 1,449 Palmdale jobs in construction. For a dump or mixer that has worked those sites, gather the title, the registration and any service invoices you kept, and photograph the body as well as the cab.

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 1,600 active carriers based in Palmdale, with 1,298 operating intrastate, 299 interstate and 218 running private fleets. Whichever group you belong to, the paperwork is the same: title, registration, and your USDOT number if the truck ran under your own authority.

General freight is the cargo most often declared, by 791 carriers in that FMCSA census, ahead of intermodal containers at 84, motor vehicles at 83 and refrigerated food at 76. If you pulled a reefer or a car hauler, say whether the trailer is part of the sale.

In the same federal census, 1,235 drivers work within 100 miles of their base and 4,168 run beyond it. If your truck is out on a route right now, we can schedule the pickup for when it returns to Palmdale or collect it wherever it is parked.

Across 708 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2018, with 32.9 percent ten or more years old. Have your truck’s year, make, model and engine written down before you call.

For 292 carriers that report mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census shows a median of 40,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you get in touch and photograph it; that single number answers several of our first questions.

The FMCSA census shows 90 new Palmdale carriers registered in 2024 and 80 in 2025. If you started in those years and are now selling the truck, keep your authority paperwork with the title, since the name on both should match.

The three biggest Palmdale fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census run 267, 49 and 34 power units. A fleet selling several trucks at once can send us one list with each VIN and its parking location, and we will work through them together.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 35 bridges in Palmdale, none load-posted and none with clearance under 14 feet. A tall load or a heavy tractor can be collected on local streets, so the main thing we need from you is a clear spot for the tow or the driver to reach it.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 766 farms in Los Angeles County, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine listed first. Stake trucks and horse haulers from those operations qualify too; bring the title and photos of the bed or trailer.

• Can you pick up a dump truck that never leaves the pit at Littlerock, or must I haul it into Palmdale first?We pick it up at the pit. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places Littlerock Quarry about 5.9 miles south-east of town, and we collect from the quarry lot. Give us the operator’s contact so the visit is cleared with them.
• I run a private fleet, not for-hire. Can I still sell my trucks to you?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 218 private fleets in Palmdale, and we buy their trucks on the same terms as anyone’s: title, registration and the VIN for each truck.
• I haul cars on a car carrier out of Palmdale. Does the hauler sell as one truck?Car carriers are welcome; FMCSA’s carrier census shows 83 Palmdale carriers moving motor vehicles. Photograph the decks and ramps in the raised and lowered positions, and tell us whether the trailer is titled separately.
