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

Of the 44,609 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Rialto for 2023, 21,708 sit in transportation and warehousing, a 48.7 percent share. If your tractor has spent its days backing into dock doors around the Rialto distribution buildings, it may well be parked at one of them now; give us the facility address and the name of whoever controls the yard gate.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 23 warehousing establishments in Rialto. A day cab registered to a business rather than to you personally needs a signature from someone authorised to sell for that business, so have that person lined up before we schedule the collection.

Wholesale trade adds 2,236 jobs and manufacturing 3,035 in the same 2023 LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Box trucks and straight trucks that run local deliveries for those employers are welcome; send the registration card and a photo of the cargo body along with the cab.

Rialto counts 1,386 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and general freight is the cargo that 828 of them name on their registrations. Smaller groups carry fresh produce (87), paper products (83) and beverages (79) under the same FMCSA registration. Reefer units and beverage bodies are part of what we collect, so tell us what is mounted behind the cab when you first get in touch.

Intrastate operators outnumber interstate ones in Rialto, 996 to 389, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and 145 run as private fleets moving their own goods. If your authority covered California only, the California Department of Motor Vehicles is the office that reissues a missing title, and that replacement should be in hand before pickup day.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 68 carriers added in Rialto during 2025 and 64 during 2024. Owner-operators who started out recently and are now stepping back can sell a single tractor; the paperwork we ask for is the title, the registration and a photo ID that matches the name on them.

Across 745 trucks examined in FMCSA roadside inspection records between August 2024 and August 2026, the median model year for Rialto carriers is 2017, and 38.3 percent were ten or more model years old. Tractors on either side of that line are ones we collect; start by sending the year, make and VIN.

The median truck travels 45,159 miles a year across the 404 Rialto carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census. Have your current odometer figure noted along with photos of the dash, the cab interior and each side of the truck.

By FMCSA’s carrier census, Rialto carriers list 1,732 drivers working beyond a 100-mile radius and 651 inside it. A sleeper that runs long lanes may be away when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked between loads and we will meet it there.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Lytle Creek Pit and a second sand and gravel operation named Rialto, both 2.8 miles north and north-west of the city. Transfer dumps, end dumps and bottom-dump tractors tied to those pits fit what we take; a truck still sitting at a pit needs the operator’s permission for us to enter, so arrange that access first.

South of town, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places West Colton Yard 3.5 miles away, with San Bernardino B Yard 4 miles east. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists the San Bernardino intermodal ramp at that same 4-mile distance. If you pull containers off those ramps, the chassis is usually not yours to sell, so tell us whether the tractor will be bobtail when we arrive.

Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings at Colton, 4 and 4.2 miles from Rialto. Tankers that load there are on our list; have the tank inspection paperwork with the title, and say whether the tank is empty and clean where the truck is parked.

None of Rialto’s 19 bridges carries a load posting or sits below 14 feet, per the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory. A tall reefer or a loaded tanker can reach a collection point anywhere in town without a clearance detour, which keeps the pickup plan simple.

Construction accounts for 1,847 Rialto jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau puts 113 construction establishments in the city. Water trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks left on a contractor’s job site can be collected from that site once the site manager knows we are coming.

Dairy milk leads the farm output of San Bernardino County, ahead of cattle and potted flowering plants, across the 809 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Feed haulers and livestock trucks parked on a dairy or ranch are collected there; send directions to the barn or yard where the truck actually stands, not just the farm’s street address.

The California Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record lists the Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high priority and federal fleets as repealed. Owners of drayage tractors can read that record directly to confirm where the rule stands before deciding to sell.

The Air Resources Board’s own announcement describes its Advanced Clean Trucks standards as amended, and their status remains contested. Selling a truck you own outright does not depend on that outcome; what we need is a clear title in your name or your company’s, and the keys.

• Will you pick up an end dump that is still sitting at the Lytle Creek Pit?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Lytle Creek Pit 2.8 miles north of Rialto, and we can collect the truck at the pit once the operator agrees to let us in.
• Which office reissues a lost title for a tractor that only ran intrastate out of Rialto?The California Department of Motor Vehicles issues replacement titles, and the new one should be in your hands before we collect the truck.
• My tractor hauls containers out of the San Bernardino ramp. Does the chassis come too?Only if you own it. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the San Bernardino intermodal ramp 4 miles east of Rialto; tell us whether the chassis is yours or belongs to the ramp before pickup.
