General freight, lumber and car haulers in Brentwood
Of the 324 active carriers with a Brentwood address in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight shows up on 131 cargo lists. If your box truck or tractor ran general freight out of a Brentwood address, have the title and current registration in one folder before you call, and we can start from the VIN.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 21 Brentwood carrier filings in the federal carrier census, and motor vehicles and paper products each appear on another 21. A flatbed, log trailer setup or car hauler from one of those operations is a truck we take; tell us what body or trailer goes with it so the pickup plan covers the whole rig.
Of those 324 carriers, FMCSA records 275 as intrastate and 49 as interstate, with 82 running private fleets for their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries the company’s name on the title rather than a driver’s, so confirm who signs before we arrive.
Model years from East County inspections
Roadside inspections logged by FMCSA between September 2024 and August 2026 covered 225 trucks from Brentwood carriers, with a median model year of 2019. Read the model year straight off the registration card and send it with your first message, along with the VIN.
In those same FMCSA roadside inspection records, 28 percent of the inspected Brentwood trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, service records and inspection reports from your files help us confirm the specification, so gather what you have.
Among the 81 Brentwood carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 20,000 miles per truck. Photograph the odometer and the dash plate together so the reading and the VIN match in one picture.
Drivers who stay local and drivers who go farther
Brentwood filings with FMCSA put 708 drivers inside a 100-mile radius and 358 working beyond it. For a truck that never leaves the Delta, collection is usually at the home yard or a driveway in town; give us the street address and any gate code.
If your rig is one of the long-haul units and sits somewhere outside Contra Costa when you decide to sell, tell us where it is parked. We collect from the truck’s location, not yours.
The three biggest fleets on file in Brentwood with FMCSA run 135, 67 and 35 power units, with 263, 59 and 29 drivers respectively. Selling several units at once from a yard that size works best with a list of VINs and the titles held by one person who can sign for all of them.
Gravel plants south-east, rail yards north
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists G3 Enterprises Byron Plant 5.7 miles south-east of Brentwood and Kellog Creek Aggregates at 5.8 miles in the same direction, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks, transfer rigs and end-dump tractors parked near either plant can be collected on site once the yard owner knows we are coming.
West of town, the Clayton Plant and Clayton Aggregates crushed-stone quarries sit 12.2 and 13 miles out on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and Lind Marine Incorporated runs an industrial-mineral mine 12.8 miles north-west. Mention which site your truck hauled from and send photos of the bed, frame and tires along with the cab.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, DU POINT YARD lies 5.1 miles north of Brentwood and PITTSBURG YARD 11.5 miles north-west. A day cab that shuttled loads to either yard can be picked up wherever it now stands; tell us the lot and who controls access.
Pittsburg terminal and tanker work
PITTSBURGH ASPHALT, a petroleum product terminal 12.7 miles north-west of Brentwood, appears in Energy Information Administration listings. If your tractor pulled a tanker or asphalt trailer in and out of that terminal, say whether the trailer is part of the sale and have both titles ready.
Any loading-rack paperwork, annual inspection sheets or tank test certificates you kept from that work can travel with the truck. None of it is required, but it answers questions before we have to ask them.
Construction jobs, farms and Brentwood paperwork
Construction accounted for 2,014 of the 16,062 jobs located in Brentwood in 2023, or 12.5 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, while manufacturing held 497. The Census Bureau tallies 192 construction establishments around Brentwood in County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck, water truck or flatbed qualifies; list any equipment mounted on it when you describe it.
Contra Costa County had 405 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, flower seeds and bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers leading the county’s output. A farm truck sold off a ranch outside Brentwood can be collected at the ranch gate; we just need directions and a contact on the property.
If a title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, and the request should be in hand before the sale. Bring the registration, a photo ID and the lienholder release if the truck was ever financed.
The questions we get asked in Brentwood
- My dump truck sits at a gravel plant near Byron; does it have to come into town first?Leave it at the plant. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the G3 Enterprises Byron Plant 5.7 miles south-east of Brentwood, and we collect from the plant if the operator allows access. Give us the name of whoever controls the gate.
- Our company trucks haul only our own goods; can several leave one Brentwood yard together?Several units from one yard work fine. FMCSA’s carrier census shows 82 Brentwood carriers operating private fleets, and we collect multiple units from one yard. Send a list of VINs and confirm one person can sign each title.
