Pits and a stone quarry north and east of Tarpey Village
The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Rockfield Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 9.6 miles north of Tarpey Village. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from a pit like that one are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at the plant or at a yard near it, give us that location rather than your home address.
Out to the north-east, 11.8 miles from town, sits Academy Black, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a dimension-stone quarry. Flatbeds and heavy tractors that move cut stone off a quarry floor are welcome too; photograph the deck, the tie-down points and the VIN plate so the truck you describe is the truck we see.
Twelve point nine miles east, the Sanger Plant is a second sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A truck that has split its shifts between Sanger and Rockfield can be collected from whichever site it sits at when you call; tell us which gate to come through.
Tarpey Village’s construction payroll and the trucks behind it
Construction held 80 of the 292 Tarpey Village jobs that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, or 27.4 percent of local work. Contractors who own a dump truck, a water truck or a flatbed for that work can sell it to us directly, with the title in hand and the registration card in the cab.
For a small contractor around Tarpey Village, the construction truck is often parked at a jobsite, not at the shop. That is fine: send the jobsite address, a note on who can unlock the gate, and the keys’ whereabouts, and the pickup is planned around that site.
Bobtails and fuel tankers on the run south of Tarpey Village toward Van-G Logistics
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal named FRESNO lies 8.6 miles south of Tarpey Village. Fuel tankers and bobtails that load there are trucks we purchase; have the tank’s inspection certificates and the cab’s service records together before you contact us.
Farther down the same direction, Van-G Logistics appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 13.6 miles south. If your tractor pulled tank trailers between Van-G and the FRESNO terminal, say which trailer stays with the sale and which goes back to its owner, so the paperwork covers only what changes hands.
Day cabs working CALWA YARD and FRESNO YARD near Tarpey Village
Two rail yards sit west of town on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: CALWA YARD 7.1 miles south-west and FRESNO YARD 8.2 miles west. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from those yards are on our list, and a tractor parked near either yard can be collected there.
When a yard tractor or a short-haul day cab is the one you are selling, the VIN and the odometer reading are the first two things we ask for. Photos of the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the tires, taken where it is parked near Calwa or Fresno Yard, answer most of the next questions.
Livestock, dairy and cotton trucks from Fresno County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 4,427 farms in Fresno County, with cattle, milk and cotton at the top of its list. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and the trucks that move cotton modules all fall within what we buy from owners here.
A farm truck in Fresno County often sits in a barn lot or at the edge of a field. Send a pin or directions to that spot, mention whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle, and keep the title and the registration with the person who will be there on collection day.
Repealed, paused and contested: the three state truck rules near Tarpey Village
California’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements are listed by the California Air Resources Board as repealed. A federal court filing records that enforcement of the state’s all-zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused.
The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation itself remains contested, according to the California Air Resources Board’s own amendments notice. None of these rules has to be settled before you sell a diesel truck to us from Tarpey Village; bring the title and the registration and we handle the rest.
