Tank and rail work west of Sunnyside
Calwa Yard lies 4 miles west of Sunnyside and Fresno Yard 9.3 miles west, both on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A tractor that has shuttled loads to and from either yard can stay where it is parked; give us that address and we arrange collection there.
Fuel loads out of a petroleum product terminal called Fresno, which the Energy Information Administration places 4.7 miles south-west of town. Tank tractors and fuel straight trucks that load at that rack fit what we buy, so tell us which trailer or tank body is coupled to the unit and whether it goes with the sale.
Van-G Logistics, a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts 9.2 miles south, is another stop for tanker work near town. If your truck ran there, keep any terminal loading records or inspection sheets with the title so the history travels with it.
Aggregate plants east and north of town
Two operations east of Sunnyside appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records: the Sanger Aggregate Plant at 11.2 miles and the Sanger Plant sand and gravel operation at 11.7 miles. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and belly-dump tractors that haul from pits like these are trucks we collect, and a quarry yard is a fine pickup spot if that is where the truck sits.
North of town, the Rockfield Plant sand and gravel operation sits 14.1 miles away according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. For an aggregate hauler, send photos of the dump body, the hoist and the tag axle along with the cab, plus the VIN plate, so we can match the build to the paperwork.
Sunnyside trucks on Fresno County farms
Fresno County had 4,427 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its leading products there were cattle, milk and cotton. Livestock haulers, bulk milk tankers and module trucks that serve those operations are all welcome here, whether the truck is kept at a dairy, a gin or a ranch gate.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting accounted for 76 of the 874 jobs located in Sunnyside in 2023, a share of 8.7 percent on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A farm truck that is titled to a family operation or a ranch partnership needs the signature of whoever is named on the title, so check that name before you reach out to us.
Before the visit
What to pull together for a Sunnyside sale
Before pickup, have the title in hand, the current registration and any service or inspection records you kept. If the title is missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request early keeps the sale from waiting on a form.
Where a lender still holds a lien, ask for the lien release or the payoff letter and send it along with the title. Photos of the odometer, the VIN plate on the door jamb and each side of the truck let us confirm the details without a second visit to Sunnyside.
Air board truck rules as they stand for Sunnyside owners
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high priority and federal fleets are listed as repealed, according to the board’s own rulemaking notice. Its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested after amendments the board approved.
Enforcement of the 2036 requirement that all new medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission is paused, per a federal court filing in the Eastern District of California. Whatever the status of these rules, a diesel truck kept near Sunnyside is one we will look at; just tell us the engine model year shown on the emissions label.
Air base side
Collection around the air base and east Fresno
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Fresno Yosemite International Air National Guard installation 3.1 miles north-west of Sunnyside. Trucks parked on either side of that stretch, in town or out toward the airport, are within reach for collection.
Send us the street address or yard gate, a note on whether a tow rig can get alongside the truck, and the best number to reach whoever holds the keys. With those three things in hand, we schedule the visit around you.
The questions we get asked in Sunnyside
- My rig hauls aggregate out of the Sanger plants; is a dump body something you take?Sand and gravel haulers working the Sanger Aggregate Plant and the Sanger Plant, 11 to 12 miles east of Sunnyside in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, are trucks we buy, dump bodies included.
- The title for my Fresno County farm truck has gone missing; how do I replace it?A Fresno County farm truck with no title in the file needs a duplicate from the state’s title agency, issued to the owner named on record; request it and send us the copy once it arrives.
- Can you pick up a tanker at the Fresno fuel terminal?Tank tractors parked by the Fresno petroleum product terminal, 4.7 miles south-west per the Energy Information Administration, can be collected right there; send the gate address and who can let us in.
- Do California’s clean truck rules stop you buying my diesel?Diesels in Fresno County remain trucks we will look at; the Air Resources Board lists its drayage and high priority fleet requirements as repealed, and the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement has enforcement paused by a federal court.
