Rock and gravel trucks from Healdsburg’s quarries
Canyon Rock Co Inc, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 8.1 miles south-west of Healdsburg, and Blue Rock Quarry sits 10.7 miles to the south. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that load at those two pits are trucks we buy, and we collect them from the quarry lot, a contractor’s yard or your driveway.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Roblar Quarry LLC, a sand and gravel operation 21.3 miles south, and DNA Ridge Rock, another sand and gravel site 22.3 miles north-east. If your truck is parked at one of those operations, tell us whose ground it is on and who can let a driver through the gate, so the pickup is set up with the site in advance.
For any aggregate truck, have the title in hand and the registration current, and photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab before you call. Those pictures and the VIN let us ask about the truck itself rather than about the quarry it served.
Short hauls, winery fleets and long-radius drivers
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 234 active carriers based in Healdsburg, and of those 227 operate intrastate while just 7 hold interstate authority. Most trucks here stay inside California, so the one you are selling is probably within reach of the town when we come to collect it.
Private fleets account for 75 of those carriers in the same FMCSA census, meaning businesses that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belongs to a winery, a farm or a builder that moves its own loads, the company name on the title must match the seller, so have whoever signs for the business ready.
Driver distances in the FMCSA census put 236 drivers working within 100 miles and 270 beyond that radius. A sleeper that spends its weeks away from Sonoma County can be picked up wherever it ends the run, so give us the address where it is parked rather than bringing it home first.
Freight, farm supplies and machinery loads
General freight is the cargo listed by 42 Healdsburg carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by farm supplies and by machinery and large objects at 18 carriers each. Box trucks, flatbeds and lowboy tractors all come out of that mix, and each one is a truck we purchase.
Fresh produce is hauled by 17 local carriers, according to the same FMCSA census. If yours is a reefer unit, photograph the refrigeration unit and note its hour meter alongside the truck’s odometer, so both readings arrive with the photos.
For a machinery hauler or a lowboy, the FMCSA census shows the biggest Healdsburg fleets running 22, 20 and 19 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor out of a group that size or the only truck you own, send the VIN for each unit and we will work through them one at a time.
Dairy and ranch land
Milk, cattle and cut flowers around town
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 3,097 farms in Sonoma County, with milk, cattle and cut flowers and greens as the top products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and the small refrigerated trucks that move flowers are all in that farm traffic, and all of them are trucks we take.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 359 of the jobs located in Healdsburg in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a 5.4 percent share. A farm truck often sits parked on the ranch between seasons, and we can collect it right there; just tell us whether a trailer or a loader is blocking it and how the gate opens.
Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or an old ranch name. Check the name on the title against who is selling before you reach out, and if the title has gone missing, say so on the first call so the replacement can be started with the state’s title agency.
Manufacturing floors, building sites and wholesale docks
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 794 manufacturing jobs in Healdsburg in 2023, 12 percent of the 6,638 total, with 461 in construction and 454 in wholesale trade. Delivery straight trucks, flatbeds and stake beds serve all three, and a business replacing one can sell it to us from its own lot.
Healdsburg has 67 construction firms and 3 warehousing businesses on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. For a contractor’s dump or service truck, keep the service records with it and photograph any body equipment such as a crane, a liftgate or a dump bed.
Roadside inspection years, odometers and liens
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 52 Healdsburg trucks, with a median model year of 2018 and 38.5 percent ten or more model years old. We buy trucks across that whole spread of model years, so give us the year, make and model as the first three facts.
Median annual distance per truck is 8,025 miles across 32 carriers reporting it to FMCSA’s carrier census. Read the odometer off the dash and send a photo of it; that figure and the VIN together open every truck conversation we have.
Nine Healdsburg outfits registered as new carriers during 2024 and three more during 2025, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender’s name so the lien release can be handled as part of the sale.
The questions we get asked in Healdsburg
- My dump truck is at a quarry south of Healdsburg. Must a loaded-out dump truck leave the pit before pickup?Blue Rock Quarry is 10.7 miles south of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from quarry lots like that one. Give us the site contact and the gate arrangements, and the truck can stay where it is.
- Do you buy dairy and cattle trucks from Sonoma County ranches?Milk and cattle lead Sonoma County’s farm products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and tankers and livestock haulers from those ranches are trucks we purchase. A ranch truck’s VIN, a few photos and the titled owner’s name are enough to begin.
- My truck is working outside California right now. Can it be collected out of state?Seven Healdsburg carriers hold interstate authority in FMCSA’s carrier census, and trucks that travel out of state can be collected where they are parked. Tell us the address and who has the keys.
- What details help most for a Healdsburg truck sale?Healdsburg trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records have a median model year of 2018, so start with the year, make, model, VIN and odometer reading. Add the title, current registration, any service records and clear photos of the cab and body.
