Quarry and gravel
Aggregate trucks from the quarry to Grimes Rock
A crushed-stone quarry lies 2.2 miles south-east of Camarillo on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads there is usually parked close to the pit or at a yard nearby, so give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key when you get in touch.
North of town, Santa Paula Materials runs a sand and gravel operation 9 miles out, and Grimes Rock a CalPortland Company runs another 10.5 miles to the north-east, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your truck hauled from either one, have the California title and current registration in hand, and photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab so we can see the whole unit.
Construction gives those haulers somewhere to deliver: County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 230 construction establishments in Camarillo. A seller who ran aggregate to job sites around the city can tell us which sites the truck served, and keep any service invoices together with the title for collection day.
Flowers and produce
Nursery stock, cut flowers and fresh produce on the plain
Ventura County holds 1,812 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its top listed products are potted flowering plants, cut flowers and cultivated greens, and propagative material. Reefer units and box trucks that move greenhouse stock off those farms are among what we purchase; send the reefer unit’s make and hours along with the truck’s VIN.
Of the carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists here, 34 haul fresh produce and 26 haul farm supplies. If your truck spent its seasons between packing sheds and the farms around Camarillo, it can stay parked at the ranch or shed; tell us the road and whether a tractor-trailer can turn in.
Farm, forestry and fishing work gave 2,663 Camarillo residents a job in 2023, or 7.1 percent of the city’s employment, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. For a farm-owned truck titled to a ranch or partnership, the person who signs the California title should be the one named on it, so check that before we schedule anything.
Rail and harbor
Oxnard Yard, Industrial Plaza Yard and the harbor district
Eight miles west, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Oxnard Yard, with Industrial Plaza Yard at 8.3 miles in the same direction. Tractors that shuttle loads between those yards and warehouses in town often end the day in Oxnard rather than Camarillo, and we collect from whichever side of the line the truck is on.
Oxnard Harbor District, a port 10.5 miles west, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A day cab that worked the harbor gates should come with its title, registration card and any port access paperwork you kept; if the truck is still inside a terminal lot, name the lot operator so pickup can be arranged with them.
General freight is the cargo listed by 151 local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. Whether that freight left by rail, by sea or by road, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title, the VIN and clear photos of all four sides.
Point Mugu and the Channel Islands station
To the south-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Channel Islands ANG Station 7.3 miles from Camarillo and Naval Base Ventura County – Point Mugu Operating Facility at 8.8 miles. If you are being transferred out of either and your work truck has to stay behind, leave it parked with a contact who can show it, and finish the sale from your next posting.
A truck sitting on base property needs gate access arranged ahead of collection. Tell us which gate and who will sponsor entry, and have the signed title and a copy of your orders ready if the registration still shows a Ventura County address you no longer live at.
Intrastate haulers, private fleets and local drivers
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 537 active carriers in Camarillo; 479 run intrastate, 56 interstate, and 147 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never crossed a state line will carry California registration only, which keeps the paperwork short: the title, the registration and your ID.
Driver radius tells the same story in the same FMCSA filings, with 1,789 drivers working within 100 miles and 745 beyond. Short-haul tractors and straight trucks usually sleep in a home yard each night, so the address you give us is normally where we will find the truck.
New registrations continue, with 17 carriers added in 2024 and 11 in 2025 in FMCSA’s carrier census. In the same census one local fleet lists 506 power units and 374 drivers, while others list 90 and 60 power units. Whether you run one truck or are clearing several from a yard, send a list of VINs and we will work through them together.
Among 68 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 13,500 miles per truck a year. Have the current odometer reading with you when you call, alongside the title.
Inspected trucks and open clearances in Camarillo
FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 391 trucks inspected here, with a median model year of 2020 and 24.8 percent ten or more model years old. Whatever the model year on your title, read the VIN off the door jamb and the dash and check they match the title before you send them.
None of Camarillo’s 38 bridges carries a load posting or sits under 14 feet, according to the National Bridge Inventory. A tractor-trailer can reach most addresses in town without a detour, so a truck parked at a home, a shop or a ranch gate is a normal place for us to collect it.
Manufacturing, warehousing and wholesale in Camarillo
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 37,622 jobs in Camarillo, with 6,161 of them, 16.4 percent, in manufacturing and 2,193 in construction. Box trucks and flatbeds that deliver to plants in town are usually parked at the plant or a nearby yard; tell us which one.
Transportation and warehousing hold 1,045 of those LEHD jobs and wholesale trade 1,064, while County Business Patterns counts 5 warehousing establishments in the city. If your truck worked out of one of those warehouses, ask the dock manager whether it can be loaded from the yard, and keep the keys and the title in the same place.
The questions we get asked in Camarillo
- My dump truck sits by the crushed-stone quarry south-east of town; does it have to come into Camarillo first?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists that quarry 2.2 miles south-east of town, and we collect from beside it. Tell us the pit road and the name of the person holding the gate key for that site.
- I hauled potted plants and cut flowers for a Ventura County nursery; which details help you most at the start?Send the VIN, the reefer unit’s make and hours, and photos of the box and cab. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists potted flowering plants as the county’s top product, so we know the kind of work a nursery reefer does.
- My orders take me away from Point Mugu before the truck is sold; can the sale finish without me there?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Point Mugu Operating Facility 8.8 miles south-west of Camarillo; leave the truck with a contact who can arrange gate access, sign the title before you leave, and finish the rest by phone.
