Lodi Yard
Rail sidings to the south of town
Lodi Yard, a rail yard about 5.7 miles south of Collierville, appears in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles freight between that siding and warehouses around Lodi is often parked on a yard lot rather than at home, so tell us the lot’s address and who holds the gate key.
Further down the same line, Mormon Yard lies 18.2 miles south, again per the North American Rail Network. If your day cab has spent its shifts between Mormon Yard and Lodi Yard, send the VIN and a photo of the door sticker first, then pictures of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel.
Port and bulk liquids
Tankers and the Stockton port road
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the port of Stockton 16.5 miles south of Collierville, and in the same listing names Superior Carriers, a liquid bulk terminal, at 18.6 miles. If your tractor pulled tank or container trailers toward that waterfront, leave it wherever it is parked and simply give us the location.
Have the tractor’s registration card and any trailer paperwork you kept together before you call, since the questions about a port tractor usually begin with which trailer it pulled and whether that trailer goes with it.
North-west racks
Elk Grove asphalt and fuel racks
Two petroleum product terminals sit north-west of town on Energy Information Administration listings: Elk Grove at 12.7 miles and the Elk Grove Asphalt Terminal at 13.3 miles. Fuel tankers and asphalt haulers that load at those racks are the kind of tractor we collect from yards around Collierville.
For an asphalt or fuel rig, keep the inspection reports from the terminal and the service records in one folder. Those papers, along with clear photos of the tank and the tractor, tell us where it has worked without a long phone call.
Gravel and crushed stone to the east
East of Collierville, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Concrete, Inc DBA Knife River, a sand and gravel operation 13.7 miles out, and Jackson Valley Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry at 17.6 miles. If your dump truck, transfer trailer or mixer is still parked at a pit, tell us whether a tow rig can get onto the property.
Construction holds 86 of Collierville’s 267 jobs, a 32.2 percent slice, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023. A contractor here with a dump truck or a mixer to sell should have the title, current registration and a few photos of the body and the chassis ready when we talk.
Dairies and feed corn
Milk, cattle and corn on the Delta plain
Around Collierville, San Joaquin County counted 3,439 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn as its leading products. Bulk milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks are the rigs that work those farms, and many stay parked at the ranch between seasons.
If your farm truck is kept in a barn or a field off a gravel road, give us the ranch address, a phone number for whoever is on site, and a note on how a tow rig can reach it.
Pixley Parkway
Pixley Parkway, Lodi, when a title has gone missing
California titles are handled by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles through its DMV field offices; the closest one to Collierville is the Lodi office at 1222 Pixley Parkway, Lodi, 95240, about 6.6 miles away. A seller who cannot find the title can apply for a replacement there before the sale.
Bring the registration card and your identification to Pixley Parkway, and tell us early if the title is in a business name or still shows a lienholder, so the transfer paperwork is right the first time.
Collierville owners and the clean truck rulings
California’s Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation drayage and high-priority fleet requirements have been repealed, and enforcement of the state’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused.
Meanwhile the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is still being contested. A Collierville owner weighing a sale does not need to sort through any of these first; send us the VIN and engine details and we will ask the rest.
