Aggregate sites east of Aliso Viejo
Greenstone Materials Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, is 10.7 miles east of Aliso Viejo according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts on that haul is one we can collect from the quarry yard itself, so tell us whose gate it sits behind and who can let us in.
Farther out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places MAITRI CANYON PLANT 18.5 miles to the north-east and the 3M CORONA PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry, 22.4 miles north-east. If your rig rotates between those pits, give us the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the bed, the cab and the tag, and say which site it is parked at on the day you call.
The Orange County Operation, an industrial-mineral mine, lies 9.7 miles south-east on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and EAGLE VALLEY, another industrial-mineral site, is 21.4 miles north-east. Trucks working either one are often parked on site between loads; a contact name and the access route are what we need to plan the collection there.
Huntington Beach fuel racks and West Corona Yard
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals, HUNTINGTON BEACH TERMINAL and one named ORANGE, each 17.8 miles north-west of Aliso Viejo. A tractor that has pulled fuel loads out of those racks should come with its registration and any terminal or tank inspection paperwork you kept, since that shows the work it was doing.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, WEST CORONA YARD sits 22.3 miles north of the city. A day cab that shuttles boxes off that yard can stay where it is parked; send the address and we arrange the pickup at that spot.
General freight, movers and bus operators in town
Of the 113 active outfits headquartered in Aliso Viejo on FMCSA’s carrier census, 43 haul general freight. Box trucks, straight trucks and single-axle tractors fill that kind of fleet, and for any of them the first things we ask for are the title in your name, current registration and the VIN.
Seven carriers each list household goods, motor vehicles and passengers, by the same federal carrier census. A moving van, a car hauler or a passenger bus is a truck we buy too, so tell us the body type and seating or deck layout up front along with photos of each side.
Of those 113 outfits, 92 run intrastate only and 21 cross state lines, while 27 haul their own goods as private operations, per FMCSA’s census. For a truck registered in California, the title and registration you hold are California documents, and the state’s title agency is the office that handles them.
Inspection years and annual mileage around south Orange County
Between October 2024 and August 2026, roadside inspectors checked 51 trucks belonging to Aliso Viejo outfits, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give them a median model year of 2020, with 23.5 percent at ten years or older. Whatever year yours is, include the model year and the odometer reading in your first message so we can start from the right truck.
Seventeen local operators report mileage on FMCSA’s census, and their median is 34,512 miles per truck a year. Keep your service log with the title; it lets us match the miles on the dash to the work the truck has done.
The carrier census also splits drivers by range: 98 work within 100 miles of base and 229 go beyond it. A long-haul unit may be out on the road when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked and when, and we schedule around that stop.
One large fleet and many small ones
On FMCSA’s census the biggest operator based here runs 300 power units with 128 drivers, while the next two run 6 and 5 power units. If you are selling several trucks from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs with the title status of each, and we can work through them together.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 6 new registrations from Aliso Viejo in 2025 and none in 2024. If the truck is your only one, have the title, the registration card and your photo ID together before you reach out, so nothing is missing when the paperwork is signed.
Work around Aliso Viejo that puts trucks on the road
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 21,597 jobs in Aliso Viejo, including 1,208 in transportation and warehousing and 1,079 in wholesale trade. Delivery and distribution trucks from those employers are part of what we collect, from a warehouse dock or a business park lot.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 83 construction establishments here, and the LEHD figures add 749 construction jobs and 845 in manufacturing. A flatbed, stake bed or dump truck from a building contractor can be picked up at the job site or the contractor’s yard; just tell us which.
Across Orange County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 158 farms, with equine, honey and cut flowers at the top. A horse hauler or a flower delivery truck from one of those operations is welcome, and the farm address is where we will meet it.
CARB fleet rules and a California title
The California Air Resources Board lists its Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements as repealed, and its Advanced Clean Trucks rule as contested. Owners weighing a sale under those rules can call us with the VIN and we will talk through the truck itself.
If the California title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and that replacement should be in hand before the truck changes owners. Should a lender still be on the title, have the lien release ready as well.
