Pits just up the road
Aggregate Products and Latona Aggregates, north of town
Aggregate Products, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 2.8 miles north of Happy Valley. A dump truck or transfer rig that loads at that pit can be handed over at the pit itself; give us the gate details and the name of whoever can open it for us.
Only 3.5 miles north-east, Latona Aggregates appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine. If your truck hauls out of Latona, jot down the VIN, the odometer reading and whether it carries a bed, a pup or a belly-dump trailer, then send that with photos of the cab and the frame.
Ten miles north, Crystal Creek Aggregates is a third sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists. Tell us whether your truck sits at one of these three pits, in a contractor’s yard or in your own driveway in Happy Valley, and we plan the collection around that spot.
Nineteen miles and beyond
Cement, crushed stone and a metal mine about twenty miles out
The Redding Plant, a cement plant 19.5 miles north in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, shares that distance with Fawndale Rock & Asphalt, a crushed-stone quarry. Bulk cement tractors and asphalt or rock haulers from either site are trucks we buy; mention the trailer type and keep the California title and registration together in the cab.
North-east by 19 miles, the SWA @ Mountain Gate Quarry is another crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Should your truck be parked at Mountain Gate, we collect it there rather than asking you to bring it back to Happy Valley.
The Washington Mine, a metal mine 22.2 miles north-west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is the farthest of these sites. For a truck that services that mine, keep any maintenance logs you have in one folder; they travel with the truck when it leaves.
What gets inspected here
The trucks stopped at roadside inspections nearby
Across two years of roadside stops, August 2024 through August 2026, FMCSA’s inspection records logged 324 trucks around Happy Valley, and the middle of that group was a 2018 model. Whatever the year on your title, send it along with the make and model so we know which truck we are talking about.
Ten or more model years had passed on 40.7 percent of those 324 trucks, the same FMCSA roadside inspection records show. An older tractor and a newer one go through the same steps with us: title, registration, photo identification and an address where the truck can be reached.
Builders and small shops
Construction outfits and local workplaces
Happy Valley has 81 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. Dump trucks, flatbeds, water trucks and service bodies from contractors like these are on our list, and we can pick one up from the job yard where it is stored.
Happy Valley workplaces held 323 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If a business here is letting go of two or three trucks at once, put every VIN and odometer reading in a single message and tell us which address each one sits at.
Cattle, horses, bees
Stock, horse and hive trucks on Shasta County ranches
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture found 1,120 farms in Shasta County, led by cattle, equine and honey. Stock trailers’ tractors, horse haulers, flatbeds carrying hive boxes and feed trucks from those ranches all qualify, and we can load one out of the barnyard.
When a ranch truck is titled to the ranch or a family trust instead of to you, check the name printed on the California title before you reach out. The person named there signs, or gives written authorization for someone else to sign, on the day the truck leaves.
