Roll-on/roll-off cargo two miles south-east
Port of Hueneme’s North Terminal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics classes as a roll-on/roll-off terminal, lies 2.1 miles south-east of Channel Islands Beach. Tractors that have worked that wharf are ones we collect, and we can pick yours up at a lot near the gate where it already sits.
On the same 2.1-mile radius, but to the north-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Oxnard Harbor District. If your truck is parked inside a harbor-district yard, give us the name of whoever controls the gate and a phone number for them, because port lots usually need an escort or a pass before an outside driver can get in.
Send clear photos of the cab, the VIN plate and the odometer along with the address of the yard. Those three items let us line up the pickup before we arrive at the harbor.
Rail east of the beach
Tracks east of the sand and a container ramp past them
Wilds Yard sits only 1.2 miles east of the beach on the North American Rail Network, the map kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that drop and hook boxes between the tracks and the harbor often end up parked right beside that yard when their owners step away from the work.
A second rail point, listed simply as Terminal, is a rail intermodal ramp 2.1 miles south-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor pulled container chassis on and off that ramp, tell us whether the chassis is yours or leased, since we take the truck and a leased chassis stays with its owner.
Have the registration card and any service records in the cab when we come, so the paperwork travels with the tractor.
Base and air station
The Port Hueneme base and the ANG station
Naval Base Ventura County’s Port Hueneme Operating Facility is 1.2 miles east of Channel Islands Beach, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Channel Islands ANG Station sits 7 miles east on the same agency’s list. Contractors who haul to either installation keep box trucks and flatbeds on this side of Oxnard.
If your truck is stored on or beside a base contractor’s yard, move it off restricted ground before the pickup or arrange access with the yard owner. We collect from the address you give us, so a spot outside the fence keeps things simple.
Nurseries and quarry
Potted plants, cut flowers and crushed stone
Around Channel Islands Beach, growers top the county’s farm list with potted flowering plants, then cut flowers and greens, then propagative material, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,812 farms across Ventura County. Refrigerated box trucks and straight trucks that run nursery stock to market are among the vehicles we buy here.
Pacific Rock Inc, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, operates 12.5 miles east of town. Dump trucks and end-dumps that load aggregate there can be collected from the quarry road or a home driveway, wherever the truck sits now.
For a farm or quarry vehicle, tell us the body type and its length along with the photos. A flatbed, a reefer box and a dump body each call for a different tow setup, and knowing which one is waiting saves a second trip.
Replacing a missing title at Oxnard Express
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles title transfers and replacements through its DMV field offices. The nearest, Oxnard Express at 137 N Ventura Rd, Port Hueneme, 93041, is 2.4 miles from Channel Islands Beach according to the department’s office list.
If the title is missing, start the replacement at Oxnard Express before we schedule the pickup, and bring your registration and photo ID. Once the duplicate is in hand, sign it over to us when we collect the truck.
Local work and CARB
Jobs counted here and California’s truck rules
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) placed 776 jobs inside Channel Islands Beach itself. Whether your truck worked one of those local jobs or ran to the harbor, the base or the fields inland, we collect it from the address you give us.
California’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, enforcement of the 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements is paused, and the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements have been repealed, per the California Air Resources Board and court filings. Whichever rule touches your truck, we buy diesel tractors and straight trucks here regardless of where those rules stand.
