Wholesale yards

A small job base led by wholesale trade

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 229 jobs in Poplar-Cotton Center in 2023, and 102 of them, 44.5 percent, sat in wholesale trade. If your truck ran goods in and out of a wholesale yard here, it may be a box truck, a day cab or a tractor that pulled a dry van; tell us which body or trailer it worked with when you get in touch.

Trucks tied to a wholesale business are often parked at the yard rather than at home, so give us the street address where it stands now and the name of whoever can open the gate. Photos of the cab, the body or fifth wheel and the VIN plate let us ask the right questions from the start.

Dairy and feed trucks on the farm roads

Milk, cattle and corn head the list of farm products for Tulare County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which counts 3,713 farms across the county. Around Poplar-Cotton Center that means milk tankers, livestock haulers, feed trucks and grain trailers, and we buy commercial trucks of every kind that do that work.

A truck kept on a dairy or a feedlot is usually parked out by the barns or the feed bunkers. Tell us how a pickup driver reaches it from the county road and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck, and send photos taken where it stands.

Gravel and stone east of town

East of Poplar-Cotton Center, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Deer Creek Asphalt, a sand and gravel operation 11.6 miles out, and the Tule River/Success Dam sand and gravel site at 12.2 miles. The Decomposed Granite Pit (LG), a crushed-stone quarry, is 12.5 miles east in Mine Safety and Health Administration records.

Fountain Springs, another crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 16.5 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks, end dumps and transfer rigs that ran between these pits and the valley can be collected at the pit, at a contractor’s yard or at your home; tell us which, and send the registration with the photos.

Exeter Yard and the run up the valley

Exeter Yard, 16.4 miles north of town, appears in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttled loads between the rail yard and the farms or warehouses around Poplar-Cotton Center is one we purchase.

If yours worked that route, note whether it pulled flatbeds, vans or bulk trailers, and whether any trailer is part of the sale. Service records, if you kept them, travel with the truck and answer questions before we ask them.

A replacement title from the nearest DMV counter

Titles here are issued by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles title transfers and replacements through its DMV field offices. The nearest, according to the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, is the Porterville office at 329 E Olive Avenue, Porterville, 93257, 7.9 miles from Poplar-Cotton Center.

Before we collect, find the title and check that the name on it matches yours. If it is missing, the Porterville field office is where a replacement starts, and having the VIN and your registration card on hand makes that visit shorter.

Three state truck rules and their standing for Tulare owners

The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, according to the board’s own announcement of amendments. For the 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements, the California Air Resources Board’s rule is in a different state: enforcement is paused under a federal court order.

Poplar-Cotton Center owners should also know that the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements has been repealed, according to the board’s 2025 rulemaking record. None of these rules changes what you need to sell: the title, the registration and photos of the truck.

Carry the VIN and the current Tulare registration card on that trip.
  • Do you buy dump trucks that worked the quarries east of town?Deer Creek Asphalt, the Tule River/Success Dam site and the Decomposed Granite Pit (LG) all lie within 12.5 miles east, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks from that work are trucks we purchase.
