Pits and a stone quarry west of East Hemet
Juniper Flats, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies about 10 miles west of East Hemet. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has been loading there, tell us whether it is parked at the pit or back home, and we will set the collection at whichever spot you name.
About 11 miles north-west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records CHANDLER AGGREGATES - GILMAN SPRINGS as a dimension-stone quarry. Flatbeds that carry cut stone off a site like that are trucks we buy; send photos of the deck, the cab and the plate with the VIN, and we will match the truck to its title before anyone heads out to the quarry.
Cabazon, another sand and gravel operation, is about 15.2 miles north-east according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A truck that splits its weeks between the Juniper Flats and Cabazon sides of town can be collected at either end; just give us the gate contact for the yard where it sleeps.
The mine to the south and the base to the north-west
Oceanview Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, sits about 24.5 miles south of East Hemet in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck hauls from there and stays parked near the mine between runs, you do not need to bring it up to town; give us the site address and the name of whoever can let us in.
March ARB appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a military installation about 22.2 miles north-west. A truck that delivers onto a base may sit behind a checkpoint, so tell us early whether it is inside the fence; collecting it from a lot outside the gate is usually simpler for everyone.
Dairy and mushrooms
Milk, mushrooms and cotton in Riverside County
Milk heads the Riverside County crop list, ahead of mushrooms and cotton, across the 2,424 farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Milk tankers, refrigerated box trucks and module haulers that serve those farms are all commercial trucks we purchase.
Farm trucks often stay parked on the property between seasons. If yours is out by a barn or a field edge, tell us how a tow rig reaches it, and have the title and current California registration together before the pickup day.
Contractors working out of East Hemet
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,057 jobs in East Hemet, and 68 of them, a 3.3 percent share, are in construction. Water trucks, dumps and small flatbeds from that trade are the kind of local equipment we collect from driveways and contractor yards here.
A contractor selling one truck out of a few should send the VIN, the odometer reading and a handful of photos for each unit. Service records help too, though a truck without them is still one we will look at.
Drayage and fleet rules from CARB today
Repealed is the status the California Air Resources Board now gives its Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements. If a fleet rule was the reason you were weighing a sale, check that page first so you know which requirement still applies to your truck.
CARB’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and enforcement of the zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused by federal court order. None of that changes what we need from you: the title in your name, the registration, and photos of the truck where it sits.
A DMV folder for the East Hemet sale
California’s title agency is the Department of Motor Vehicles, and a lost certificate is replaced through a DMV office before the sale closes. If a lender still appears on the East Hemet truck’s title, bring the release letter along with it.
Keep the registration card and any inspection reports with the title in one folder. When we arrive at the yard off the valley road, that folder and the keys are all the driver needs from you.
