Dairy and feed lanes
Dairy herds, beef cattle and corn rows near Fairmead
Fairmead belongs to a county where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,255 farms, and it ranks milk first among Madera County’s farm products, followed by cattle and then corn. A seller here may own a milk tanker, a livestock hauler, a feed truck or a grain body, and every one of those fits what we collect.
If your truck runs a dairy or feedlot route, send us the VIN, a few clear photos of the cab and the body, and a note on what it hauls. A truck parked at a dairy, a ranch yard or a corn field edge outside Fairmead is fine; we come out to the farm address you give us.
If yours is a corn truck waiting in a barn or a shed off a county road, tell us how to reach it and whether a gate needs opening, and we will plan the pickup around the farm’s schedule.
Two stone quarries east of town
Fairmead’s nearest crushed-stone site, Austin Quarry, sits 19.1 miles to the east on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. Dump trucks and end dumps that haul aggregate from a site like that are trucks we purchase, and you can sell one without driving it into town.
North-east of town by 20.3 miles, Sierra White is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a dimension-stone quarry. Flatbeds and heavy-haul tractors that move cut stone blocks belong on our list too; tell us the axle setup and the trailer, if one goes with it.
For a quarry truck, any scale tickets, service records or inspection sheets you have help us see what it has done. Gather them with the title before you call, so the questions we ask are about the truck itself.
Fairmead’s nearest DMV field office
Fairmead owners deal with the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles for titles, and the nearest of its DMV field offices is the Madera office at 1206 Maple Street, Madera, 93637, about 11.1 miles from town. If the title is lost or the name on it is wrong, that office is where a duplicate or a correction starts.
Before we collect, check that the name on the title matches the seller and that any lien holder has signed off. Have the current registration card and a photo ID ready as well; with those in hand, the paperwork at pickup stays short.
Fairmead’s work in the federal job counts
Fairmead counts 200 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). In a town of that scale, a truck for sale is often a single owner-operator rig or one unit from a family farm rather than part of a big yard.
If yours is that one truck, you deal with us directly from first photo to pickup. Tell us where it is parked, whether it is at home, at a farm or at a job site in the valley, and we arrange collection at that spot.
Where Fairmead stands on state truck rules
For a Fairmead owner, the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation carries a contested status. Federal court records show that enforcement of the state’s zero-emission sales requirements for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused. Weighing a sale, you can note both statuses; neither one stops you selling to us.
The state repealed its Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements. For a Fairmead farm or quarry truck, that repeal is one rule fewer to track, and the sale itself goes ahead the same way: title, registration, photos, pickup.
