Canyon Del Rey
A DMV counter just over the Seaside line
Titles for Del Rey Oaks owners go through the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles them at its DMV field offices; the Seaside office at 1180 Canyon Del Rey Blvd, Seaside, 93955 sits 1.6 miles from town. If the title to your truck has gone missing, that Canyon Del Rey Boulevard counter is the place to ask for a duplicate.
Take your registration card and a photo ID when you go to Seaside. With the duplicate in hand, photograph the front and back and send both to us, so we can check that the owner named on it is the person selling.
Keep any inspection or service records with the title in one folder. A tidy set of papers on the day we arrive makes the handover in your driveway or yard a short one.
Parked a short way from the peninsula’s Navy sites
Two military installations sit west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map: the Navy Annex 1.7 miles out and NAVSUPPACT Monterey CA at 2.5 miles. If your truck is parked anywhere near either one, tell us the street it is on and whether a gate pass or escort is needed to reach it.
A box truck or a service rig kept on a residential street between Del Rey Oaks and the bay can stay right there for collection. Send a pin, the nearest cross street and a photo of how the truck sits at the curb so the visit can be planned around parking.
Gravel pits and quarries toward Salinas
Pine Canyon Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, lies 11.1 miles east of Del Rey Oaks in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the same agency lists the Marina Landfill, an industrial-mineral mine, 8.9 miles east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have hauled from sites like these are welcome; name the contact who can let us onto the property.
Farther out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the NATIVIDAD PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry, 16.6 miles north-east and Handley Ranch Quarry 22.4 miles east. For a truck still sitting at one of those operations, send the VIN, the plate and clear photos of the cab, frame and bed, along with the operator’s permission to collect it on site.
Collecting tractors beside the Salinas and Watsonville tracks
SALINAS YARD lies 11.4 miles north-east of Del Rey Oaks, and WATSONVILLE YARD 21.6 miles north, both listed on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is parked by either yard, describe the access from the closest road so the driver does not search along the tracks.
Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a rail yard are trucks we collect. Tell us what trailer the tractor pulled and give us the odometer reading, and the rest of our questions will follow from those two details.
Potted plants and cattle
Farm trucks out in the Salinas Valley
Potted flowering plants, transplants and cattle lead the list for Monterey County, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,057 farms. A refrigerated box truck from a nursery or a stock trailer tractor from a ranch can be collected where it is parked.
For a truck kept on farmland, send the ranch road, any gate code and a phone number for whoever will meet us. A note on the road surface helps us bring the right equipment to the property.
Hauling jobs at home
Freight and warehouse jobs in town
Of 638 jobs counted in Del Rey Oaks for 2023, transportation and warehousing holds 71, an 11.1 percent share, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Straight trucks, delivery vans with a box and tractors from that kind of work all fit what we collect.
In a town this small, a truck usually sits close to its owner. Tell us whether yours is at your home, at a shop or on a business lot, and who holds the keys on the day we arrive.
The state’s zero-emission truck rules today
On the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, the California Air Resources Board’s own notice leaves its standing contested for now. Its fleet rule for drayage, high priority and federal fleets, the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation, has since been repealed, the board reports.
A federal court filing shows that enforcement is on hold for the state’s sales requirement for all-zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Del Rey Oaks owners selling a diesel tractor today need only the usual title and registration papers to hand it over.
