We buy trucks in Sacramento

Two of the four rail rows attached to this city fall inside West Sacramento, which sits in Yolo County rather than Sacramento County. The Port of West Sacramento is at the head of the Deep Water Ship Channel and is served by the Sierra Northern Railway.

West Sacramento carries its own page, so if the truck lives on that side of the water that is the one to read.

That crossing is not just administrative. County-level rules, including air district boundaries, can differ from one bank to the other — and which specific rules differ here was not determined in our research. It is recorded as an open question rather than answered with a guess.

No facility-level source was found for any of the four rows either — Broderick Yard, Polk Yard, South Sacramento Yard and Yolo Port Yard. What moves through them, and in what volume, is not something this page knows, and a page that invented it would be easy to write and worth nothing to you.

So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. The mix around a river port and a state capital is broad by nature: dump trucks and aggregate haulers on the construction side, flatbeds and day cabs moving between the channel and the valley, box trucks and straight trucks on the distribution end.

Farm trucks and grain hauls belong on the list too, because the valley floor starts where the city stops and the Sierra Northern Railway runs out into it, with Yolo County farmland beginning on the far bank. Pickups and work trucks are on the list for the ordinary reason — they are everywhere, and they are not a regional signal.

That is state law rather than anything local, and it is the rule truck sellers misquote most often. CVC sections 35550 to 35558 set a statutory range of 34,000 to 80,000 lb by axle count and spacing, and § 35551(a) is a table rather than the federal Bridge Formula — no formula is declared in the statute at all.

The California table does not exactly match the Federal Bridge Table, including at three and four axles. So a configuration that is legal under one can be over under the other, and “it makes bridge formula” is a claim about which table you mean. If someone has told you your truck makes it, that is worth knowing before you repeat it.

Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the DMV and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.

What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. California sets no percentage: CVC § 544 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck.

How does it get collected, and how am I paid? However it goes, there is no clock on it: we come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
