If your truck is a box or flatbed that ran mixed loads around the valley, send the VIN, a few photos of the cab and the body, and tell us where it is parked so we can plan the collection.
Five Anza carriers list well water as a cargo on the federal carrier census. A water tender or tank truck is something we buy; have its registration and any tank or pump service records together when you call.
Machinery and large objects appear on four local registrations, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on three, according to FMCSA. Lowboys, tilt decks and log trucks from those outfits often sit on a yard rather than a street, so give us the gate details and a contact who can let a driver in.
Intrastate work from the valley
Thirty of the 33 Anza carriers run intrastate only, with just three cleared for interstate work, the carrier census shows. A truck that has stayed inside California is most likely parked close to home, which is where we come to collect it.
On FMCSA’s driver figures, 83 Anza drivers work within a hundred-mile radius against 22 who go further. If you are one of the long-range drivers and the truck is at a terminal outside town, tell us that address instead of your home one.
Have the odometer reading ready with the VIN; those two numbers answer most of our first questions.
Thirteen of Anza’s carriers are private fleets hauling their own goods, per FMCSA. The biggest local operation on the carrier census runs nine power units with 17 drivers; the next two run eight and six. If you are retiring several units at once, list each one with its VIN so we can look at them together.
The carrier census records one new Anza carrier in 2024 and one in 2025. A newly registered operator selling a truck should keep the purchase paperwork and current registration on hand, since the title has to show the seller’s name.
Titles here are issued by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles transfers and duplicates through its DMV field offices. The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles lists its Hemet office at 1200 S State St, Hemet, 92543, as the closest to Anza, 19.5 miles away.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate at that Hemet field office before you sell. Bring the registration card and your ID, and if a lender is still on the title, ask them for the lien release first so the paperwork matches when we collect.
Builders, farms and a desert mine
Dump trucks and stake beds from building work are welcome; photograph the bed and the hydraulics along with the cab.
Riverside County had 2,424 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, mushrooms and cotton at the top of its product list. Feed haulers and farm trucks parked out on a ranch can stay there; tell us which road reaches them.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Warner Springs Rts, a military installation, 16.1 miles to the south. A truck kept at a site down either road can be collected where it stands once the site contact clears access.
California’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, according to the California Air Resources Board’s own notice. For the 2036 requirement that all medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission, enforcement is paused under a federal court filing.
An Anza owner deciding whether to sell a diesel truck can weigh those three statuses directly, and we buy diesel units either way.
