Malabar Yard, Hobart and the ramps to the north-east
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Malabar Yard 2.2 miles north of Walnut Park and Exchange Ave A Yard 2.8 miles to the north-east. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those yards usually sits parked close to them between shifts, so tell us the street or lot where yours stays and we will collect it from there.
Two intermodal ramps appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings on the same side of town: Los Angeles - Hobart at 3.4 miles and Los Angeles - East Washington Blvd at 3.5 miles, both north-east. If your tractor pulled containers off either ramp, send the VIN, the current registration and a handful of photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel, and we can start from what you sent.
Tankers between the Vernon racks and Titan’s tanks
According to the Energy Information Administration, the Vernon petroleum product terminal lies 2.8 miles north and the Vinvale terminal 3.5 miles east. If your tractor pulled fuel tankers from racks like these, keep any site inspection sheets or terminal access records with the title and send copies along with the photos.
Titan Terminal and Transport, a liquid bulk terminal, is 2.2 miles east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map, with Ventura Transfer Company another liquid bulk site 4 miles out in that direction. A truck parked inside a terminal fence can stay there; give us the name of someone who can let us through the gate and we will arrange the pickup with them.
Small fleets registered in Walnut Park
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 13 active carriers based in Walnut Park, and 10 of them operate intrastate only, with 3 crossing state lines. For a truck that has stayed inside California, the California title and current registration are the two papers to find first.
Three of those carriers run private fleets, and the three biggest outfits in the federal carrier census each field 3 power units and 3 drivers. An owner selling one truck out of three can keep the other two working; we only need the unit being sold and its keys.
General freight is the cargo listed by 5 local carriers in FMCSA registrations, while beverages, refrigerated food and dry bulk commodities each show up for 2. Mention a reefer unit or a dry bulk trailer setup when you first contact us, along with any service records for the reefer itself.
Walnut Park workplaces in transportation and warehousing
Walnut Park held 1,351 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 108 of them, about 8 percent, were in transportation and warehousing. If the truck you want to sell is parked at a workplace rather than at home, either address works for us.
With a population of 14,958 according to the Census Bureau, the community is compact, and residential streets can be tight for a tractor. Tell us whether the truck can be reached from the street or needs to be moved first, and whether a trailer is attached.
Agricultural hauling across Los Angeles County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 766 farms in Los Angeles County, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations among the top listed. Box trucks and refrigerated straight trucks that move nursery stock or mushrooms are on our list of trucks to buy, and so are rigs that haul horses or feed.
If your truck worked for a nursery or a stable in the county, the farm address is a fine place for us to collect it. Have the title in the name of whoever is selling, or a signed authorisation if the farm owns it.
