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

South Taft sits on the southern edge of Taft in Kern County, with an industrial-mineral mine to the east and a crushed-stone quarry toward Maricopa, and the trucks that work here haul for those sites and for the county’s dairy and cattle operations.

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

Haulers serving the Taft Production mine

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists TAFT PRODUCTION COMPANY & MINES as an industrial-mineral mine 3.1 miles east of South Taft. A dump truck or tractor that hauls out of a site that close to town is often parked at the operator’s yard or at the owner’s house between loads, and either is a fine place for us to collect it. Send the address and a note about whether the gate is locked on weekends.

If your truck has spent its working life hauling from that mine, gather the registration card and any service invoices you kept before you call. Those two papers, with clear photos of the cab, the body and the VIN plate, let us talk about your specific truck from the first conversation.

Stone from the Maricopa Plant

Heading south, the Maricopa Plant is a crushed-stone quarry 5.2 miles from South Taft, on the register kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Stone hauling here means end dumps, belly dumps and the tractors that pull them, and every one of those is a truck we buy from owners.

Trailers count too. If a dump trailer or bottom dump goes with the tractor, photograph it on its own, note its VIN separately, and tell us whether you want to sell the pair together or only one piece. A truck kept at a quarry lot can be collected there once the site lets us through.

San Emidio

Sand and gravel runs to the east

Farther out, at 16.9 miles east, the San Emidio Plant is a sand and gravel operation recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners who haul aggregate between San Emidio and the Taft side of the valley may keep their rigs at either end, and we can meet the truck wherever it is sitting.

When you contact us about a gravel truck from that run, list the axle setup, the body type and whether it carries a pup trailer. Those details, plus the title in your name, are what we ask about before anything else.

Dairy and ranch hauls

Tankers and cattle pots off South Taft ranches

Around South Taft, the farm economy of Kern County counts 1,691 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and cotton as its leading products. Milk tankers, cattle pots, livestock trailers and the tractors that pull cotton modules all fit what we purchase.

A farm truck often sits on the ranch where it works, sometimes well off the paved road. Tell us how the property is reached and whether a tow rig can turn around near the truck, and send a photo of the registration so the name on it matches the seller.

Center Street office

Taft’s DMV office is under a mile away

The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles runs its Taft field office at 165 Center Street, Taft, 93268, about 0.7 miles from South Taft. If the title to your truck is lost or carries a name that is not yours, that DMV field office is where a replacement or a transfer starts.

Bring your registration and photo ID when you go, and if a lender was ever listed on the title, ask for the lien release at the same visit. Once the title is in your name and free of liens, the sale itself needs nothing else from the state.

ACT, ACF and the paused 2036 sales rule

California’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and enforcement of the 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements is paused, according to the California Air Resources Board and federal court filings. Neither status changes what we need from you to buy a truck in South Taft.

The Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation’s drayage, high-priority and federal fleet requirements have been repealed, per the California Air Resources Board. If you held off on selling while those rules were in question, your truck is welcome here whatever its engine or model year.
