Gravel and rock on Anderson’s north-west side
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Latona Aggregates, an industrial-mineral mine, 4.6 miles north-west of Anderson, with the Aggregate Products sand and gravel operation 7.4 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump that spends its days between those two sites may still be parked at a pit when you decide to sell. Give us the site name and who holds the gate key, and we arrange the collection there.
Farther up the same side of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Crystal Creek Aggregates and its sand and gravel workings 14 miles from Anderson. For a truck loading at Crystal Creek, photograph the door sticker with the VIN, the odometer and the bed or body, and send those with a picture of the title.
Cement, crushed stone and the Mountain Gate corridor
Roughly 20 miles north, federal mine records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration place the Redding Plant, a cement plant, at 19.9 miles, with Fawndale Rock & Asphalt at 19.7 miles and SWA @ Mountain Gate Quarry at 19.1 miles. Bulk pneumatic tankers and transfer trucks working that cluster can be sold from wherever they sit; tell us whether it is a plant yard or your own driveway in Anderson.
If the tractor or mixer is registered to you but titled through a lender, ask the lender for a lien release before we schedule anything. If the original title has gone missing, request a duplicate from California’s title agency before the sale rather than after it.
Lumber, machinery and freight haulers based in Anderson
Of the 376 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Anderson, general freight shows up on 83 cargo lists. The same federal census has 58 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, 40 moving machinery and large objects, and 24 handling farm supplies. Log trucks, lowboys, flatbeds and dry vans all fit what we buy, so tell us the trailer setup when you first reach out.
Of those 376, the federal carrier census shows 331 operating intrastate only and 41 running interstate, while 122 are private fleets moving their own goods. An intrastate tractor often stays close to Shasta County, which makes it simple to reach; an interstate unit may be on a run when you contact us, so give us the date it will be back in Anderson.
New registrations appear in the same FMCSA records: 15 carriers started up here in 2025, after 7 in 2024. If you are one of those newer operators and are now selling the truck you started with, have the bill of sale from your own purchase handy along with the title.
Shasta County fleets of a dozen trucks or more
Anderson’s yards are modest in size: a 19-tractor outfit with 17 drivers heads FMCSA’s census for the town, ahead of one running 15 tractors with 20 drivers and another evenly matched at 14 and 14. An owner selling several units from a yard that size can list them on one call; send the VINs together and we will plan a single trip for all of them.
Drivers working inside 100 miles number 484 across local carriers, against 519 who go farther, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A median of 13,750 miles per truck a year is what the 84 Anderson carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA put on record. Tell us the current odometer reading and where the truck is parked, whether that is a yard on the edge of town or a drop lot up the valley.
Construction, ranches and the roads in between
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 4,315 jobs located in Anderson in 2023, with construction holding 402 of them, or 9.3 percent. In those LEHD figures, manufacturing accounts for 202 jobs and wholesale trade for 73. Contractors who are retiring a dump truck, a water truck or a flatbed from a job site can have it collected from the site itself; send a contact who will be there on the day.
Across Shasta County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,120 farms, with cattle, equine and honey as the leading products. Cattle haulers, livestock trailers and ranch flatbeds are all trucks we take; if yours lives on a ranch outside Anderson, give us directions past the last paved turn and tell us about any gates.
On the routes themselves, the National Bridge Inventory lists 34 bridges in Anderson, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall or heavy unit can be reached on local roads without a detour around a posted span, so the pickup address you give us is the one we use.
Clean truck regulations and selling in Shasta County
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high-priority and federal fleets have been repealed, according to CARB’s 2025 rulemaking notice. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement is paused under a federal court filing in the Eastern District of California.
A diesel tractor parked in Anderson can still change hands while CARB and the courts settle those three rules. Keep your registration current and set aside any CARB compliance paperwork you already hold, so it goes with the truck and the title.
The questions we get asked in Anderson
- My end-dump sits at a gravel pit up toward Latona; does it have to come into Anderson first?Latona Aggregates sits 4.6 miles from town and Aggregate Products 7.4 miles, both north-west, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pits like those. Tell us which site and who can let us through the gate.
- I pull a log trailer behind my tractor on lumber runs out of Anderson; would you buy the pair?Fifty-eight Anderson carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, and log trucks with their trailers are on the list of what we buy. Send photos of the tractor and the bunks along with the VIN.
- The pink slip for my Anderson tractor has gone missing; what should I do before selling?A Shasta County truck carries a California title, so the duplicate comes from the state’s title agency. Apply for it before the sale, and tell us if a lender still holds a lien.
- Our cattle hauler is kept on a ranch past the pavement outside Anderson; is that a problem for pickup?Shasta County has 1,120 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, equine and honey, and plenty of trucks are parked on them. Give us the ranch address, directions from the county road and a contact for the gates.
