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

Port Costa has fuel terminals, rail yards and a quarry all within a short drive, and the tankers, dump trucks and tractors that serve them are the trucks we collect here.

Selling a truck in Port Costa? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Fuel by the strait

Fuel tankers between the Ozol depot and the Martinez racks

Just 1.6 miles south-east of Port Costa, the Ozol Defense Fuel Support Point appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a military installation. If your tanker or fuel truck has loaded around that site, tell us the tank capacity and the trailer it pulled, and send the VIN with your first message.

Energy Information Administration records place the MARTINEZ TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal, 3.9 miles east of town, and the SELBYCROCKETT terminal 3.1 miles west. A tractor that shuttled between those two ends of the shoreline may be parked at either one when you call; give us the yard address and we arrange collection there rather than in Port Costa itself.

Over on the east side, at 3.1 miles, the Shell Oil liquid bulk terminal is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Hazmat-rated tankers from that run should come with their tank test paperwork if you still hold it, along with clear photos of the cab, the tank shell and the plates.

Rails on both banks

Drayage day cabs off two nearby rail lots

OZOL YARD sits 2.3 miles south-east of town on the North American Rail Network, the map kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that drayed freight off that yard often stay close to it between loads, so let us know which lot the tractor is in and whether a lowboy or rollback can reach it.

BENICIA YARD lies 3.3 miles east, also on the North American Rail Network. A truck working the Benicia side can be collected on that bank; you do not have to bring it to Port Costa before we see it.

North of the water

Stone haulers five miles up the road

Five miles north of Port Costa, crushed stone comes out of Lake Herman Quarry, a pit on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls. Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and transfer trucks that haul stone out of that pit are trucks we buy; send a photo of the bed and the hoist plate, and note the body length.

If your dump truck is parked inside the pit gate, before we schedule a pickup, check with the site whether a driver may enter, and tell us who holds the gate key so the collection goes to the right place the first time.

Concord and the inland side

Trucks from Military Ocean Terminal Concord

Nine miles east, Military Ocean Terminal Concord is recorded by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation. Contractors’ flatbeds and box trucks that served that terminal can be picked up in Concord; give us the street address and any access rules for the lot.

Contra Costa County held 405 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, flower seeds and bulbs heading the list of products. Livestock haulers, flatbeds and farm straight trucks from the county’s ranch land are welcome here too, so tell us the body type and the axle count when you write.

For a Port Costa seller missing a title, the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles replacements through its DMV field offices; the nearest is the Vallejo office at 200 Couch Street, Vallejo, 94590, about 6.2 miles from town. Ask there for a duplicate before the sale, and bring the registration card and your ID.

If a lender still shows on the certificate, ask the lender for a lien release and keep it with the title. Have the registration, the keys and any service records together on the day, and the handover at the truck stays short.

Where three state truck rules stand for Port Costa owners

For the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, the rule’s standing is contested, and Port Costa sellers can still write to us meanwhile. When you write from Port Costa about a diesel tractor, read the engine model year off the door label and include it.

A federal court record shows that, for the state’s all-zero-emission sales requirement on medium- and heavy-duty trucks, enforcement is paused. Separately, the state repealed the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements. Drayage tractors from the Ozol rail lots are trucks we buy; send the VIN and a cab photo.
