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

Olive Springs Quarry Inc, a crushed-stone quarry, lies about 7 miles north-east of Pleasure Point in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine records. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls rock down from that canyon can be collected where it is kept between loads; give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists two operations north-west of town: Felton Quarry, crushed stone, at 8.8 miles, and the Quail Hollow sand and gravel operation at 9.5 miles. If your truck has worked either site, send the VIN, a clear photo of the plate and pictures of the bed and cab, and tell us which quarry it ran from.

Aggregate rigs from these three pits tend to stay parked near the mine roads rather than in the neighbourhood by the beach. Say where yours sits now, and whether a loaded or empty trailer is still hitched, so the collection can be planned around the gate and the grade.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Watsonville Yard 13.1 miles east of Pleasure Point, with a second track segment under that name at 13.8 miles. Day cabs and flatbeds that meet freight there may be parked in Watsonville rather than here, and we can collect from either town.

A tractor that shuttles between the yard and the farms around it should come with its California registration card and any service log you have kept. Those two papers, plus the title, answer most of what we ask about a truck from that side of the county.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 614 farms in Santa Cruz County, with propagative material, potted flowering plants and cut flowers with cultivated greens leading the list of what they grow. Refrigerated box trucks and straight trucks with lift gates are the kind that move nursery stock, and we buy both.

If a grower’s truck is parked out at a greenhouse or field, an owner can arrange the sale from anywhere. Tell us the farm’s address, whether a reefer unit is fitted, and who will meet us there; photos of the box interior and the unit’s hour meter help us read the truck correctly.

Of 1,311 jobs located in Pleasure Point in 2023, 67 were in construction, a 5.1 percent share, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Contractors here run pickups with utility beds, small dump trucks and flatbeds that carry materials between job sites.

A contractor’s truck is often kept at home in a driveway or at a shop on the same street. Tell us whether it sits at a residence or a business, and have the title in the name on the registration. If the two names differ, settle that before we arrive.

The California Air Resources Board reports that its Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high-priority and federal fleets have been repealed, while its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested. A federal court filing in the Eastern District of California shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles as paused.

None of those rule changes alters what we need from a Santa Cruz County owner: the California title, the current registration and a photo ID that matches. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request before you contact us saves a step later.

• My dump truck is parked at a quarry yard up near Felton. Does it need to come down to Pleasure Point?Felton Quarry sits about 8.8 miles north-west of Pleasure Point on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the quarry yard itself. Tell us who can unlock the quarry gate up there.
• I farm in Santa Cruz County and run a refrigerated box truck. Will you take a reefer from a nursery?Santa Cruz County’s 614 farms, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, grow mostly nursery stock and flowers, and reefer box trucks that carry them are trucks we buy. Send photos of the box and the reefer unit.
• The truck works out of Watsonville, not here. Can a Pleasure Point owner sell it from home?Watsonville Yard is 13.1 miles east on the North American Rail Network, and we pick up in Watsonville as readily as on the coast. Give us the street address where the truck is kept.
