We buy trucks in Woodland

Bay State Milling Company runs a mill whose coordinate falls in Yolo County, which is the one facility our data places here with any confidence. A mill is a two-directional freight site: grain in from the fields, flour out to the bakers, and the two do not move in the same trailer.

Grain comes in hopper-bottoms and end dumps off farm ground; flour goes out in pneumatic tankers and on pallets in dry vans. A yard serving one runs a more varied fleet than its size suggests.

That Bay State Milling site aside, no facility-level source was found for the rail yard filed here. The surrounding district’s industry is recorded at county level rather than as yard traffic, so what moves through it is not something this page knows.

Two gaps worth naming because they bear on a working truck in Yolo County: California’s agricultural weight provisions, and the regional air district’s heavy-duty requirements. Neither is extracted into the state rule file and neither was determined.

So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. This is Sacramento Valley farming ground, so farm trucks and grain hauls do the bulk of it, with flatbeds and day cabs moving crop and equipment and refrigerated trailers on the produce side.

Distribution adds box trucks and straight trucks, groundwork adds dump trucks, and pickups and work trucks are everywhere. Davis and West Sacramento carry pages of their own, and a truck here has usually worked all of Yolo County rather than one town.

That is state law rather than anything local, and it is the rule truck sellers misquote most often. CVC sections 35550 to 35558 set a statutory range of 34,000 to 80,000 lb by axle count and spacing, and § 35551(a) is a table rather than the federal Bridge Formula — no formula is declared in the statute at all.

The California table does not exactly match the Federal Bridge Table, including at three and four axles. So a configuration that is legal under one can be over under the other, and “it makes bridge formula” is a claim about which table you mean. If someone has told you your truck makes it, that is worth knowing before you repeat it.

Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.

Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the DMV and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.

What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. California sets no percentage: CVC § 544 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck.

How does it get collected, and how am I paid? There is no clock on any of this. We come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
