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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Redding Plant, a cement plant, 5.3 miles north-east of Shasta Lake, with the SWA quarry at Mountain Gate the same 5.3 miles out. A bulk cement trailer or a mixer that loads at that kiln can be collected from your yard in town or from wherever it is parked near the plant gate. Tell us which, and give us a name for whoever controls access.

Fawndale Rock & Asphalt, a crushed-stone quarry, is listed 5.6 miles north-east by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. End dumps, belly dumps and transfer trucks that haul aggregate and asphalt off that hill are welcome here. Before you call, photograph the bed or the trailer, the cab interior and the VIN plate, and find the title so the name on it can be checked against yours.

Crystal Creek Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation, sits 6.6 miles south-west of the city according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your truck spends its days on that side of the county, the pickup can happen there; say whether a lowboy or a tow will need room to turn around.

Further south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Aggregate Products at 11.9 miles and Latona Aggregates, an industrial-mineral mine, at 12.7 miles. The Washington Mine, a metal mine, is 16 miles west on the same Mine Safety and Health Administration register. A truck based at any of these sites stays put while you handle the sale from home; send the site address and a phone number for the gate.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 68 active motor carriers based in Shasta Lake: 63 of them intrastate, 5 interstate and 18 private fleets hauling their own goods. A tractor or straight truck registered with an in-state operator here is the most common thing we see from this town, so have the California registration card with the title.

Sixteen local carriers list general freight as cargo in the federal carrier census, with four on fresh produce, three on beverages and three on dry bulk commodities. A box truck from a beverage route, a reefer from produce work or a pneumatic tanker from dry bulk all fit what we buy. Note the trailer type and any refrigeration unit hours in your first message.

The biggest fleet registered in Shasta Lake runs 10 power units with 10 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the next two run 3 and 2 power units. With fleets that size, the person selling is usually the person who drove the truck, so you can answer our questions yourself. Keep the service records you have in the cab or in a folder we can photograph.

Seven operators signed on in Shasta Lake over two years, four in 2025 and three in 2024, by FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started a small operation recently and are now selling the truck you bought for it, bring the bill of sale and any lien release along with the title.

Of the drivers on local carriers’ FMCSA census filings, 22 work within 100 miles of base and 88 go beyond that radius. A truck that runs the long way may be away from Shasta Lake when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be parked, and the collection is planned around that location.

Eleven carriers here report annual mileage to the federal carrier census, and their median is 15,000 miles per truck. Have the current odometer reading ready when you contact us, along with the VIN, since our first questions build on those two figures.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 1,814 jobs in Shasta Lake, 319 of them in manufacturing, or 17.6 percent, and 65 in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. Trucks attached to plant work, log hauling or ranch supply all belong on the list of what we purchase here.

Shasta Lake holds 14 construction firms on County Business Patterns; a dump body or utility bed from one of those contractors is a truck we take. Across Shasta County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 1,120 farms, with cattle, horses and honey as the leading products. A cattle truck, a stock trailer rig or a flatbed from a ranch can be collected on the property; give us directions past the last paved road if there is one.

• My end dump sits at the Mountain Gate quarry; must it come down to Shasta Lake first?Mountain Gate’s quarry is about 5.3 miles north-east of Shasta Lake on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect the truck there. Let us know who holds the gate key and when the site is open.
• I haul only my own company’s materials, never for hire; does that truck qualify?Private fleets make up 18 of the 68 active carriers based in Shasta Lake in FMCSA’s census, and their trucks are bought the same way. Send the title, registration, photos and the VIN.
• My rig is gone across state lines most weeks; where would collection happen?Eighty-eight drivers on Shasta Lake carriers’ federal census filings work beyond 100 miles of home, so this comes up often. Tell us where the truck will be parked between loads, and collection is arranged at that spot.
