Sand, gravel and clay pits around Coto de Caza

The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Greenstone Materials Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, 3.6 miles south-east of Coto de Caza, and the Orange County Operation, an industrial-mineral mine, 5.8 miles to the south. Dump trucks and end dumps that load at either site are trucks we collect. If yours is parked in a yard near the quarry gate, give us the street address and the name of whoever can let our driver in.

Further out to the north-east, MAITRI CANYON PLANT sits 12 miles away and Pacific Clay Pits 14.3 miles away, according to federal mine safety records kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A tractor or transfer truck that has run aggregate or clay from those pits can be sold where it stands. Photograph the bed or trailer, the cab and the VIN plate, and send those along with the plate number.

Crushed stone comes out of the 3M CORONA PLANT, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 17.9 miles north of town. Owners who hauled from Corona and now park in Coto de Caza can choose either spot for the pickup; tell us which one when you first get in touch.

Coto de Caza carriers and the freight they list

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 27 active carriers based in Coto de Caza, and 25 of them operate intrastate while 2 cross state lines. Six of the 27 are listed in that census as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that has only run California roads keeps its paperwork in one state, so have the California registration and title in hand before we talk.

General freight is the cargo listed by 12 of those carriers in the federal carrier census, with 2 apiece listing driveaway and towaway, garbage and refuse, and logs, poles, beams and lumber. Refuse trucks, lumber flatbeds and box trucks all fit what we buy. Tell us the body type and the equipment mounted on it, such as a liftgate, a packer or a crane.

Fleet sizes are small. The biggest carrier here reports 18 power units and 32 drivers to FMCSA, the next 5 units and 6 drivers, then 3 units and 5 drivers. If you are selling several trucks out of one of these yards, list each VIN and where it is parked so the collections can be planned together.

How far these trucks travel and how new they are

Of the drivers reported to FMCSA by carriers here, 36 stay within 100 miles and 44 go beyond it. A truck on longer runs may be away when you decide to sell, so tell us its usual parking spot and the days it is home.

Five carriers report mileage to the federal carrier census, and their median is 16,000 miles per truck a year. Have the current odometer reading ready, along with any service records, since those two items answer most of our first questions.

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 58 trucks tied to Coto de Caza carriers between September 2024 and August 2026. In those FMCSA inspection records the median model year is 2022, and 10.3 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the title, registration and a set of clear photos are what we ask for.

Construction work in the town and the county

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,302 jobs in Coto de Caza in 2023, with 151 of them, or 11.6 percent, in construction. Pickups with service bodies, stake beds and small dump trucks are part of that work, and we buy them too. Send a photo of each side of the body along with the cab.

Across Orange County, 58 construction establishments are counted in County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau. If your truck is out on a job site rather than at home in Coto de Caza, give us the site address and a contact there, and we collect it from the site.

Horse farms, flower growers and the Corona rail yards

Orange County holds 158 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and equine, honey and cut flowers lead its listed products. Horse trailers pulled by a medium-duty truck, flower delivery box trucks and farm flatbeds are all trucks we take. Let us know if the horse trailer goes with the truck or stays behind.

To the north, the North American Rail Network shows CORONA YARD 19.6 miles out and WEST CORONA YARD 20.1 miles out. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton lies 18.7 miles south-east, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored near any of these can be picked up there once we know the address and the gate rules.

Paperwork for a canyon-country truck sale

A lost California title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and a duplicate in your name makes the transfer simple. If a lender is still on the title, give us the lender’s name so the lien release can be arranged as part of the sale.

On the California Air Resources Board’s rulemaking pages, the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high priority fleet requirements are shown as repealed, and the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is shown as contested. A federal court filing records enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement as paused. None of these stops a sale; bring your registration and emissions paperwork and we handle the transfer from there.

The questions we get asked in Coto de Caza

  • Can my end dump stay in its yard by Greenstone Materials Quarry for pickup?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Greenstone Materials Quarry 3.6 miles south-east of Coto de Caza, and we collect trucks from yards out there. Send the yard address off the canyon road and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
  • My Coto de Caza outfit only hauls inside California. Can you still buy its trucks?Twenty-five of the 27 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census for Coto de Caza run intrastate, and their trucks are what we buy. Keep each truck’s California title and current registration card together for the transfer.
  • The title for the truck I keep in Coto de Caza cannot be found, so who issues a duplicate?In Coto de Caza a replacement title comes from California’s title agency, issued in the registered owner’s name. Tell us if a lender is still listed, and we will sort the lien release with you.
  • Do you take horse trailers and the trucks that pull them?Equine leads the farm products listed for Orange County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks used for horse hauling are ones we buy. Say whether the trailer is included and send photos of both.
