Jobs on the valley floor
Delivery trucks behind the jobs in Yosemite Valley
For 2023, the LEHD job counts published by the Census Bureau record 1,107 jobs located in Yosemite Valley. Every one of them sits at the end of a delivery route, so box trucks, service bodies and flatbeds that carry food, fuel or building material into the valley are all trucks we will look at. Send us the VIN, the odometer reading and a handful of photos of the cab, frame and body to start.
A truck that works up here often stays parked near the job rather than in a yard down the hill. Give us the exact spot where yours sits in Yosemite Valley, who can let us reach it, and any gate or access detail. Collection happens right there at that spot.
Stock trucks and hay rigs
Livestock haulers from the ranches around Yosemite Valley
Around Yosemite Valley, ranch work is part of the county picture: 388 farms are counted across Mariposa County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and goats listed as the leading categories. Stock trucks, gooseneck haulers and the flatbeds that move hay and fencing to those operations are welcome here.
If your truck has spent its seasons pulling a cattle or horse trailer, tell us which trailer it was paired with and whether the hitch or fifth wheel goes with the sale. Send pictures of the bed, the hitch hardware and the cab interior along with that description.
A missing title goes through the Mariposa field office
Titles here are handled by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles through its DMV field offices, and the closest one listed for Yosemite Valley is the Mariposa office at 5264 Highway 49-North, Mariposa, 95338, which the department places 27.4 miles from town. Bring the registration and your identification there if the title has gone missing.
With the title signed and in hand, the sale itself is simple: we need the title, the current registration and, if you kept them, the service or inspection records. A replacement requested at the Mariposa counter before we arrive saves a second trip out of the valley later.
Where the state’s clean truck regulations stand for a Yosemite Valley owner
The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, according to the California Air Resources Board’s own notice on its amended clean truck standards. An owner in Yosemite Valley can sell a diesel truck to us today regardless; nothing in that dispute stops the title from changing hands.
On the federal court record, enforcement of the state’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is on hold. A valley owner selling a truck already registered in Yosemite Valley does not have to wait for that case to settle.
Yosemite Valley owners who once watched the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements will find it listed as repealed in the Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record. Keep whatever compliance paperwork you filed under it with the truck; it rounds out the truck’s history.
Ready to sell
Getting a valley truck ready for collection
A seller here is usually a long way from any office, so the first steps happen by phone and photos. Share the VIN, the make and model, the odometer figure and the spot in Yosemite Valley where the truck is parked.
Keep the title, registration and any service binder together in the cab or at the house so the person who meets us has them on the day. If someone else will hand over the keys, give us their name and number when you first get in touch.

- Do you buy the trucks that haul for ranches outside the valley?Ranch haulers fit what we buy: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 388 farms in Mariposa County, led by cattle, equine and goats, and the stock trucks and flatbeds serving them are welcome.
