Sand, gravel and stone on the south-west edge of Home Gardens
All American Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration about 1 mile south-west of Home Gardens, and the Corona Plant, another sand and gravel site, about 1.4 miles in the same direction. If your end dump or transfer truck spends its shifts between those two gates, tell us which one it last worked from, so we know which side of town to plan the collection around.
Roughly 2.1 miles south, the 3M Corona Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry, with the Eagle Valley industrial-mineral mine about 3.6 miles south as well. A truck that hauls stone off those sites is often parked near the quarry rather than at home; give us the yard address and a name for whoever opens the gate there.
Send clear photos of the bed or body, the frame rails, the tires and the cab interior, plus the VIN plate, before anything else. For a quarry truck, any scale tickets or site inspection sheets you kept belong in the same folder as the title.
Tractors that shuttle between the two Corona rail yards
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Corona Yard about 2.1 miles west of Home Gardens and West Corona Yard roughly 5.6 miles west. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and nearby warehouses are a regular part of the local truck mix, and we purchase both day cabs and sleepers.
If your tractor works the rail side, list the trailers it has pulled and whether it carries any yard or terminal decals, and tell us which lot it is kept at. A tractor left at a lot near Corona Yard can be collected from that lot; you do not need to move it back to Home Gardens first.
Contractor crews and plant floors on the Home Gardens job rolls
Of 1,793 jobs located in Home Gardens in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 337 in construction, an 18.8 percent share, and 260 in manufacturing, or 14.5 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds, stake beds and service bodies from contractors and plant work all fall within what we buy here.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts also record 134 wholesale trade jobs and 57 in transportation and warehousing, at 7.5 and 3.2 percent of the total. If your box truck or straight truck has run deliveries for a wholesale account, have its registration card and the most recent service invoices on hand when you first call.
Dairy and fields
Tankers and reefers on Riverside County dairies and mushroom farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,424 farms in Riverside County, with milk, mushrooms and cotton named as the leading products. Milk tankers, refrigerated straight trucks and grain or cotton haulers working those farms are trucks we will look at.
A farm truck is frequently kept on the property instead of in town. Give us the ranch or dairy address, mention any gate code or soft ground near the parking spot, and tell us whether the title is in your name or in the farm’s business name.
A naval detachment to the north-west, a mineral plant to the north-east
Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Norco is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation about 4.6 miles north-west of Home Gardens. A truck parked near a controlled site needs an access plan, so tell us early whether a pass or escort will be required on pickup day.
In the other direction, about 11.6 miles north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Riverside Operation, a mineral processing plant. Trucks that make the run between the Corona pits and that plant can be collected at either end; just name the address where the keys and the truck will be.
Selling a diesel in Home Gardens under CARB’s current rule status
According to the California Air Resources Board, the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, and the drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements of the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation have been repealed. Neither status stops you from selling a diesel tractor or dump truck out of Home Gardens.
Federal court records filed in the Eastern District of California show enforcement paused on the 2036 requirement that all medium- and heavy-duty sales be zero-emission. Whatever your engine year, bring the title, the current registration and any emissions or smoke test paperwork you hold, and we will work from those.
