Selling a truck in Claremont? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Gravel pits on the city’s doorstep

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Upland Pit and Mill, a sand and gravel operation, 1.4 miles south-east of Claremont, and the Campus Plant 4.4 miles east. If your dump truck or transfer rig loads at either one, tell us which pit it works from, and we can collect it from your yard or the lot where it parks between loads.

Cucamonga Creek Mine, an industrial-mineral site 4.5 miles east, and Azusa Rock, a crushed-stone quarry 12.2 miles west, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records too. A truck that moves between these quarries can be left where it sits; send the address, the VIN and a few clear photos of the bed, the cab and the plate.

Rail ramps and a fuel terminal within fifteen miles of town

Montclair rail yard lies 4.9 miles south-east of town on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, with S Kaiser Yard 12.2 miles east. Tractors that shuttle between these yards and nearby warehouses are the kind we buy; have the registration and the title in the owner’s name before we come for it.

Fourteen miles east, the Energy Information Administration places the Fontana Plant, a petroleum product terminal, at 14.1 miles. South-west at 14.9 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the City of Industry intermodal ramp. If your tractor pulls tankers or containers off either site, note which one in your message and include any inspection reports you kept.

The small fleets behind Claremont’s trucks

Of 127 active Claremont carriers, 107 keep to intrastate work and just 20 haul across state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which also flags 21 as private fleets moving their own goods. For a seller here, that usually means a California-plated truck with an intrastate record, so have the current registration card handy when you reach us.

General freight is the cargo listed by 56 of those carriers in the federal census, with 8 hauling intermodal containers, 5 moving logs, poles and lumber, and 5 carrying machinery and large objects. Whether yours is a box truck, a flatbed or a lowboy tractor, tell us the body type and what it hauled so the first call covers the right questions.

The FMCSA registrations show small operations: the three biggest local fleets run 6, 4 and 3 power units. New entrants keep arriving as well, with 9 carriers added in 2024 and 7 in 2025 according to the same carrier census. An owner-operator selling a single tractor is exactly who we deal with most.

Short hauls and modest annual miles

Among Claremont carriers in FMCSA’s census, 76 drivers stay within 100 miles of base and 138 work beyond it. Either way, we pick up where the truck is parked, whether that is a home driveway in the foothills or a terminal lot east of town.

Across the 19 local carriers reporting mileage, the federal carrier census puts the median at 20,000 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and photograph it when you send the VIN; it is one of the first details we ask about.

Jobs, builders and county farms

Manufacturing accounts for 764 of Claremont’s 18,664 jobs in 2023, beside 226 in wholesale trade, 223 in construction and 72 in transportation and warehousing, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Contractors with a stake bed or a small dump truck from local job sites can sell to us directly, with the title and registration as the main paperwork.

Builders in Claremont run 57 construction establishments, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 766 farms across Los Angeles County, led by potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations, and nursery trucks and horse-hauling rigs are on our list as well.

Fifteen unposted bridges and where the state’s emissions rules stand

Claremont has 15 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, and none is load-posted or under 14 feet. A tall or heavy tractor can be reached at its parking spot without a detour, so just give us the street address and gate details.

California’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and fleet requirements have been repealed, the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement has its enforcement paused, and the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, per the California Air Resources Board and federal court filings. A diesel truck can still be sold to us; send the engine model year from the door sticker with your photos.

The questions we get asked in Claremont

  • My gravel truck sits at Upland Pit and Mill between loads. Will you pick the truck up at the pit itself?Yes, we come to the pit. Upland Pit and Mill is 1.4 miles south-east of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from the site; just arrange access with whoever runs the gate.
  • I run intrastate only. Does that matter when I sell?An intrastate record changes nothing for us. FMCSA’s carrier census shows 107 of the 127 Claremont carriers are intrastate, so most trucks we see here carry a California-only record. Bring the title and current registration.
  • Do you buy tractors that work the Montclair rail yard?We do buy those tractors. The North American Rail Network places Montclair yard 4.9 miles south-east of Claremont; send the VIN, an odometer photo and the address where the tractor is kept.
