Tractors between Polk and the south Sacramento rail lines
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, puts Polk Yard 3.1 miles north-east of Parkway and South Sacramento Yard 3.6 miles to the north-west. If your tractor shuttles boxes or loads between those two yards, we collect it wherever it is parked. Tell us which yard lot or side street it sits on and who holds the keys.
Day cabs that run yard-to-dock work around Polk and South Sacramento often carry a log of terminals they have entered. If you kept gate slips or a dispatch history for your tractor, put them in the same folder as the title and registration. Photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel round out what we ask for before the pickup is set.
Pit and plant hauling
Dump trucks from the Florin plant and the Perkins and Bradshaw sites
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Florin mineral processing plant lies 3.1 miles east of Parkway, the Perkins sand and gravel operation 5.1 miles to the north-east and the Bradshaw sand and gravel site 7.2 miles north-east. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and end-dump tractors are what crews pull out of pits like these, and all of them are trucks we buy.
If your dump truck still sits at a pit gate near Bradshaw or Perkins, give us the operator’s site contact so we can arrange entry with them. Bring the bed’s body plate details and any scale or weigh tickets you kept, since they describe the truck’s work in your own words before we see it.
Fuel tractors at the two terminals north-west of Parkway
Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration, Sacramento Terminal and the site recorded as Sacramento CA, stand 5.8 miles north-west of Parkway. Tank tractors and the trailers they pull out of those racks are part of what we collect, and a seller can list both on one call.
For a fuel tractor, have the registration, the title and whatever tank or hazmat inspection certificates the trailer carried. If the tanker is parked inside a terminal fence on Sacramento’s west side, name the gate and the person who can sign us in.
Construction and freight jobs around Parkway
Construction accounts for 518 of the 4,427 jobs counted in Parkway for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, an 11.7 percent share. Concrete mixers, flatbeds hauling forms and dump trucks are the kinds of vehicles that line of work keeps busy, and we take each of them.
In the same LEHD release, Transportation and Warehousing holds 393 jobs, or 8.9 percent, with Wholesale Trade at 197 and Manufacturing at 183. Box trucks, reefer units and tractors from distribution work count for us just like a dump truck does; tell us the body type and send the VIN first.
Dairy and corn country in Sacramento County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,118 farms in Sacramento County, with milk, corn and cattle at the top of its list. Milk tankers, grain trucks, livestock haulers and feed trucks come off operations like these, and each can be sold to us from the farm where it is kept.
Farm trucks are often titled to the operation rather than one person. Check whose name sits on the title before we talk, and if a partner or family member must sign, have them ready so the paperwork matches the registration.
Port and state rules
The Sacramento-Yolo Port and California clean truck rules
Listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Sacramento-Yolo Port lies 8.3 miles south-west of Parkway. A drayage tractor that has run cargo off those docks can be collected from your yard, and its VIN, title and registration are the first things we need.
The California Air Resources Board’s records show the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation as contested and its Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high priority fleet requirements as repealed. A federal court filing in the Eastern District of California shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission truck sales requirement paused. Tell us your tractor’s engine model year, and we will ask anything else that bears on its paperwork.
