Trucks that work around the Fort Irwin installation
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Fort Irwin military installation 9.2 miles north of the town that shares its name. If your truck is parked on or near the post, tell us which gate it sits closest to and who can sign us in; on a base, access sets the plan for a collection.
A truck that has hauled supplies, fuel or equipment toward the installation may carry a logbook or delivery sheets from those runs. Keep them with the title and registration; a few lines describing the routes it ran out of Fort Irwin give us the truck’s working life in plain terms before anyone looks at photos.
East to the mine
Haul trucks between town and Silver Lake
Out past the edge of Fort Irwin, 24.1 miles to the east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration registers Silver Lake Mine as a metal mine. Dump trucks, water trucks and service rigs that work a mine site like that one often stay parked at the site between shifts, so give us the mine name and a contact who can open the yard.
If the truck is still out toward Silver Lake when you decide to sell, it does not need to be driven back into Fort Irwin. Send photos of the cab, the frame, the bed or body and the tires, plus the VIN, and we plan the pickup at the mine end of the road.
Load-posted bridges on the desert roads
Of the 17 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around Fort Irwin, 12 carry a posted load limit, and none sits under 14 feet of clearance. When you send us the truck’s location, mention the road it is on and its loaded or empty weight, so our hauler can pick a route that respects those posted limits.
With no low-clearance bridge on that same federal inventory, the detail we ask for on a tall box truck or a tractor with a raised sleeper is weight, not height. A registration card showing the truck’s gross weight rating answers that in one line.
Local employers and the trucks that serve them
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,342 jobs in the Fort Irwin area, with manufacturing accounting for 217 of them, or 9.3 percent. Box trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks that serve local plants and shops are the kind we collect here, as well as heavy tractors.
Whether yours delivered parts to a workshop or hauled loads off the post, the paperwork list is short: the title in your name, current registration, and any service records you kept. Photos from all four sides finish the picture.
Dairy and cattle trucks across San Bernardino County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 809 farms in San Bernardino County, and lists milk, cattle and potted flowering plants as the county’s leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and refrigerated nursery trucks all belong on the list of what we buy from owners across the county.
A farm truck often lives in a barn lot or behind a feed shed rather than a paved yard. Tell us whether a lowboy or rollback can reach it, and whether the title is held by you or by the farm, so the right name signs.
Where CARB’s truck regulations sit for Mojave owners
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and the state has repealed the drayage, high-priority and federal fleet requirements of its Advanced Clean Fleets rule. Owners in Fort Irwin weighing a sale can check those rule pages directly before deciding anything about their tractor.
A federal court record shows enforcement paused for the 2036 zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty sales requirement. None of these rulings changes what we need from you: the title, the registration and clear photos of a truck parked in the Mojave.
The questions we get asked in Fort Irwin
- Will a hauler come out to a rig sitting close to the Fort Irwin post?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the installation 9.2 miles north of town, and we arrange pickups there. Give us the nearest gate and the name of whoever can escort a hauler on.
- Does a tractor left at Silver Lake Mine have to come back into Fort Irwin first?Silver Lake Mine is 24.1 miles east of Fort Irwin on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and the truck can stay at the mine. Send the site contact and the VIN and we plan the collection there.
- Do the posted bridges around Fort Irwin affect a pickup?Twelve of the 17 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists around Fort Irwin carry load postings, so tell us the truck’s weight rating and the road it sits on. We route the hauler around them.
- Will you take a milk tanker that works San Bernardino County dairies?Milk leads the county’s farm products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and milk tankers are trucks we purchase. Send the title, registration and photos of the tank and the tractor.
