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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hoffman, a crushed-stone quarry, 3.9 miles south-west of San Diego, and Kingsville Materials Corp, another crushed-stone operation, 13.6 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls rock out of either pit can be collected right where it sits, whether that is the quarry yard or your own place in town.

If the truck works one of those two pits on the south-west side, tell us which one and who holds the gate key. Send photos of the bed, the hoist, the frame and the cab, taken where the truck is parked on the quarry road.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 27 active carriers based in San Diego; 13 of them list general freight, while six each list liquids and gases, machinery and large objects, and oilfield equipment. So a vacuum or tank tractor, a winch truck or a lowboy rig fits here just as well as a box truck, and each one is a truck we will look at.

Of those 27 outfits, 26 run intrastate and one crosses state lines, and 14 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same federal census. A Texas-only rig needs just its Texas title and registration in hand; an interstate unit should also have its USDOT number ready when you call.

The three biggest local fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census field seven, four and three power units. If you run one of those small operations and are letting go of a single tractor, send the VIN, the registration and any service records you keep, and the sale covers that one unit alone.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 55 drivers here working within 100 miles of base and 20 working beyond it. A truck that stays close to Duval County is usually parked in town or at a nearby site when we come for it; a long-haul unit may be sitting at a terminal, and an address is all we need.

A typical San Diego rig logs 15,000 miles yearly, the median across the seven local outfits that gave FMCSA a mileage figure. Read the odometer and photograph the dash when you gather the title, since that reading goes on the paperwork at pickup.

In FMCSA’s census, San Diego added one new carrier in 2024 and one more in 2025. A newer outfit selling a truck should check that the title is in the business name now on its registration before we arrange collection.

Seven bridges sit in and around San Diego in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, one of them posted for load and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the gross weight and height of the truck, and we route the collection rig around that posted span.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,044 farms in Duval County, with cattle, deer and horses as the leading operations. A cattle hauler, a stock trailer rig or a ranch flatbed parked out past town is collected on the property; give us the gate and a phone number for whoever is on site.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places ALF Orange, a military installation, 15.2 miles north-east of town, and King Ranch 18.1 miles south-east. If your truck is kept near either one, give us the nearest road and landmark so the driver finds it on the first try.

Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 923 jobs in San Diego in 2023, and County Business Patterns lists four construction establishments. Whether your truck served one of those builders or another local employer, the title in your name is the one paper we cannot do without.

A lost title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and you should start that before we schedule pickup. Bring the duplicate, the current registration, a photo ID and any lien release, and the collection in Duval County goes ahead on those.

• My end-dump sits in the Hoffman pit south-west of San Diego; must I haul it out first?Hoffman sits 3.9 miles south-west of San Diego on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect the truck at the quarry itself, with whoever holds the Hoffman gate key letting our driver in.
• Do you take oilfield trucks from San Diego outfits?Six San Diego carriers list oilfield equipment in FMCSA’s carrier census, and winch, vacuum and bed trucks from that work are trucks we look at; a VIN plus photos of the rig on location gets the conversation going.
• Is there a low bridge near town I should warn you about?None of the seven bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around San Diego is under 14 feet, though one is posted for load. Give us the truck’s weight so we plan around it.
