Two labels, no operator
Neither yard name here resolves to anything current
Two rail rows carry this city and both are names rather than facts. The Gemco Yard and Raymer Yard labels could not be resolved to a current operator or a current function, so we treat them as source-layer labels and read nothing out of them.
One of the two is also a passenger rail facility rather than a freight yard, and its specific function was not determined either. Thirteen California rail-yard rows belong to passenger operators, and freight reasoning does not transfer to any of them.
That first coordinate is not in this city either
That passenger row’s coordinate falls inside Los Angeles rather than here. This is a small independent city entirely surrounded by Los Angeles, which is an unusual arrangement and one that makes nearest-centroid resolution unreliable in both directions.
It matters for a practical reason rather than a cartographic one: an address a few streets apart can sit in a different city with different municipal rules, and neither of those rule sets was determined here. The Gemco Yard label sits one side of that line and the city hall the other.
What runs here
A valley city that works for a living
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. This end of the valley runs on distribution and service work: box trucks and straight trucks on delivery rounds, flatbeds and day cabs between yards and job sites, and dump trucks wherever there is groundwork.
Pickups and work trucks are everywhere, and a light truck here has usually had stop-start valley miles rather than long steady ones. Mission Hills, Burbank and Glendale carry pages of their own, and Los Angeles County surrounds all of it.
California weight law
The weight table here is not the federal one
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.
Questions we actually get
The four that come up every time
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? There is no clock on any of this. 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.
