Earlimart is home to 94 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. Whether you run one of them or own a single truck outright, have the title in your name and the current registration card in the cab before you call.
Of those Earlimart carriers, 84 run intrastate and 10 cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and 9 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A tractor that stayed inside California will carry California plates and paperwork only, which keeps the transfer simple; tell us if it ever carried apportioned plates.
New registrations keep arriving: the FMCSA carrier census shows 7 carriers added in Earlimart in 2025 and 6 in 2024. If your authority is recent and you are closing it, keep your USDOT number handy so we can match the truck to the operator on file.
Produce, hay and dry bulk loads
General freight is the cargo 47 Earlimart carriers list with FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by fresh produce at 14, grain, feed and hay at 13, and dry bulk commodities at 9. That spread covers reefers, flatbeds, hopper bottoms and van trailers, and we purchase tractors that pull any of them.
A reefer unit or a hopper trailer that goes with the tractor should be named when you first contact us, with its own VIN or serial plate photographed. Snap the reefer hour meter and the trailer’s registration as well, so the whole combination is described at once.
Hay and feed haulers in Tulare County often keep a tractor parked at a ranch or a yard rather than at home. Give us the exact gate or field location and any access hours, and we will arrange collection there.
Dairy, cattle and corn around town
Trucks that serve that ground include milk tankers, livestock haulers, silage and grain trucks, and every one of them is a truck we buy.
A farm truck registered to a dairy or a family partnership has to be released by whoever is named on the title. Line up the signature of each listed owner, or a letter from the business, before pickup day so the sale is not held up at the paperwork.
Tanker owners should keep any wash tags or dairy hauling permits with the truck; those records show what the tank carried. Photos of the tank barrel, the pump and the plate on the tank help us describe it correctly.
Aggregate pits east, Famoso rail yard south
East of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Deer Creek Asphalt, a sand and gravel operation 19.6 miles out, and the Fountain Springs crushed-stone quarry at 19.8 miles. Dump trucks and end dumps working those pits may be sitting on site, and we can collect from a quarry lot if the operator allows it.
Further north-east, Tule River/Success Dam sand and gravel sits 21.9 miles away and the Decomposed Granite Pit (LG) quarry is 24.1 miles off, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tell us which of these the truck runs to and where it is kept between loads.
Famoso Yard, a rail yard 20.6 miles south of Earlimart on the North American Rail Network (Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics), is the closest rail point in that listing. A day cab that shuttles loads to that yard can be picked up wherever you keep it between runs.
Operators
At the top end in Earlimart, FMCSA’s carrier census shows fleets of 18, 13 and 10 power units, staffed by 13, 10 and 4 drivers respectively. If you run a fleet that size and are thinning it, list every unit with its VIN and plate number and we will quote them truck by truck.
Among 19 Earlimart carriers that report mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 50,000 miles per truck a year. Write the odometer reading down from the dash when you send photos; it is one of the first figures we ask for.
Jobs located in Earlimart came to 507 in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Many owners here work the truck alongside farm or yard work, so tell us the hours you can meet us and we will set the visit around them.
Clearing a California title from Earlimart
California titles go through the state Department of Motor Vehicles, and a lost one is replaced there before the truck can change hands. Start that request early if the original is missing, and keep the receipt to show us it is underway.
If a bank or equipment lender still holds a lien, bring the payoff letter and the lender’s contact details. We can work with the lienholder so the title clears to us at the sale.
The questions we get asked in Earlimart
- Do you buy hay and produce trucks in Earlimart?Fresh produce and grain, feed and hay together account for 27 of the carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Earlimart, and we purchase the tractors and trucks that haul those loads, along with general freight rigs.
- Will you collect a dump truck from a quarry near town?Fountain Springs and Deer Creek Asphalt both sit roughly 20 miles east on the Mine Safety and Health Administration listing, and we can pick up a dump truck from a pit like those if the site lets us in.
- Our dairy owns the truck we want to sell; whose signature goes on the title?Tulare County’s 3,713 farms, counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, are often titled to partnerships or businesses, so every owner named on the California title, or an authorised officer of the business, signs the transfer.
