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

We buy all commercial trucks — sleeper trucks, day cabs, dump trucks, flatbeds, mixers and grain hauls.

Upland sits at the foot of the San Gabriel foothills in San Bernardino County, ringed by sand and gravel pits, a Montclair rail yard and the Fontana fuel terminal, and the dump trucks, flatbeds and day cabs that serve them are the trucks we come here to buy.

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

Sand, gravel and stone on the north side of town

Campus Plant, a sand and gravel operation, lies 1.9 miles north-east of Upland in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings, and Upland Pit and Mill sits the same 1.9 miles away to the west. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor spends its days loading at either gate, it may well be parked at a yard nearby when you call. Give us that yard’s address and the name of whoever holds the key, and we arrange the collection around the pit’s hours.

Cucamonga Creek Mine, an industrial-mineral mine 2.4 miles north-east, appears on the same Mine Safety and Health Administration roll, while Azusa Rock, a crushed-stone quarry, is listed 15.4 miles to the west. A truck that alternates between those two sites can be collected from whichever lot you name. Before we talk, photograph the bed, the cab, the tires and the VIN plate, and have the title and current California registration in hand.

Montclair yard, Kaiser yard and the Fontana terminal

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Montclair rail yard 4 miles south of Upland and the S Kaiser Yard 9.1 miles east. Tractors that shuttle freight to and from those yards are welcome here, whether day cabs or sleepers. Tell us which yard the truck usually works from, and send the VIN along with the registration.

Eleven miles east, the Energy Information Administration lists the Fontana Plant as a petroleum product terminal. If you run a tanker tractor or a fuel truck that loads there, keep the inspection reports and service records together in the cab, since they travel with the sale. We collect from the terminal area or your own lot, whichever is simpler for you.

South-east of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Norco 14.3 miles out. Contractors’ trucks that work around that installation can be sold without driving them home first; send the location and gate contact and we plan around the access rules there.

General freight, paper and containers out of Upland

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 685 active carriers based in Upland, and 278 of them list general freight as their cargo. FMCSA’s census also shows 28 hauling machinery and large objects, 28 carrying paper products and 25 moving intermodal containers. Whatever your truck pulled, a box van, a lowboy tractor or a container chassis rig, tell us the cargo it carried and the trailer it pulled so the conversation starts in the right place.

In FMCSA’s carrier census, 558 Upland carriers run intrastate against 126 interstate, and 141 operate as private fleets. If yours is a private fleet truck carrying your own company’s goods, have the title in the company’s name ready along with a signature from someone authorised to sell.

The same census shows 36 new carriers registered in Upland during 2025 and 29 during 2024. If you started up in one of those years and now want to sell a tractor, the paperwork is the same: title, registration and an ID that matches the name on the title.

Inspected model years and miles run from the foothills

Across 372 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 24.2 percent of those trucks ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, we buy it; just give us that year, the make and the VIN in your first message.

Drivers in Upland split between 1,557 who work within 100 miles and 640 who go beyond it, as reported in FMCSA’s carrier census. Median annual miles per truck come to 31,178 across the 130 carriers that reported them to FMCSA’s carrier census. Include a clear photo of the dash showing the odometer alongside the cab and VIN shots.

Upland fleets range widely in size: FMCSA’s census lists the biggest three at 355, 155 and 51 power units. Sell one tractor or several at once; send a list of VINs and where each unit is parked, and we sort the collection by location.

Construction, warehouses and the county’s farms

Construction accounts for 2,624 of Upland’s 31,483 jobs, or 8.3 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while manufacturing holds 1,293, wholesale trade 762 and transportation and warehousing 608. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts Upland’s construction establishments at 252, from grading crews to concrete outfits. Dump trucks, water trucks, flatbeds and stake beds from those job sites are all trucks we purchase, and they can be picked up at the site or the contractor’s yard.

San Bernardino County holds 809 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names milk, cattle and potted flowering plants as its top products. A cattle hauler, a milk tanker tractor or a nursery box truck working those farms sells the same way as any other: send photos, the VIN and the title status, and tell us which ranch or dairy it sits on.

Twelve unposted bridges and CARB’s truck rules in Upland

Upland carries 12 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory maintained by the Federal Highway Administration, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall tractor or a loaded dump truck can reach a pickup point in town without a detour around a low overpass, so the collection address you give us is the one we use.

On the state’s clean-truck rules, the California Air Resources Board’s own notices show the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation as contested, a federal court filing shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement paused, and the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements as repealed. We buy diesel and alternative-fuel trucks alike, so a pending rule is no reason to hold off contacting us.

The questions we get asked in Upland

  • I run a tanker that loads at the Fontana Plant; is that a truck you purchase?Fuel tractors from Fontana are on our list.
