Pits north of town
Sand and gravel at the edge of Indio
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists HJ Hove, a sand and gravel operation 2.6 miles north of Indio. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer is parked at a pit like that one, we can collect it on site; tell us who runs the gate and when it is open.
Dillon Road Pit, about 5 miles to the north-east, is a second sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Aggregate haulers that load out there often stay parked close by between jobs, so give us the pit name or the yard address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Indio motor carriers by cargo and route
General freight is the most common cargo line among Indio carriers, with 150 of the 532 active ones on FMCSA’s carrier census listing it. If yours is one of those box trucks or tractors, have the title and current registration in your name before we talk, along with the USDOT number the truck runs under.
Of those carriers, 464 run intrastate only and 68 cross state lines, per FMCSA’s carrier census, while 105 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck sells the same way as a for-hire one; what we ask for is the title, a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires, and the service records you have kept.
Twenty-three Indio carriers in that same FMCSA census haul garbage and refuse, 21 move machinery and large objects, and 20 carry motor vehicles. Roll-offs, lowboys and car carriers all fit what we buy, so tell us the body or trailer type when you first get in touch.
Model years and annual miles for Indio rigs
Across 154 trucks inspected at the roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 27.9 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, send us the VIN first; it lets us confirm the engine, axle and cab details before anything else.
Seventy-one carriers here reported their annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the median was 25,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer off the dash and include it with your photos, so the figures we work from match the truck we collect.
On the driver side, the FMCSA census records 338 drivers who stay within 100 miles and 549 who go beyond that radius. A truck that runs long routes may be parked away from Indio when you decide to sell; we collect it where it sits, so give us that location rather than your home address.
Construction, fields and the work they put trucks to
Construction accounts for 2,562 of the 22,481 jobs in Indio, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, or 11.4 percent. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 313 construction establishments, so if your water truck, dump or flatbed comes off a job site, tell us which site and whether it can be reached by a tow or lowboy.
The 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA counts 2,424 farms in Riverside County, with milk, mushrooms and cotton as the top products. LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 1,163 Indio jobs, 5.2 percent, in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. Farm trucks parked on a ranch or packing yard can be collected there; have the title ready and let us know if the truck is registered as farm equipment.
Reaching a parked truck on Indio roads
Of 36 bridges recorded in and around Indio, the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration shows one with a posted load limit and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the street or road the truck is parked on so the recovery truck can plan its route in.
If the truck sits behind a locked gate, on a farm road or inside a pit, mention that at the start. A name and number for whoever can open up is the one thing that keeps a collection in Indio from stalling at the fence.
The questions we get asked in Indio
- My end-dump has been sitting at the HJ Hove pit since the last job, so does it have to be hauled into Indio before you collect it?Leave it at the pit: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists HJ Hove 2.6 miles north and Dillon Road Pit 5 miles north-east of town, and we collect from pits like those. Tell us which one and who can let us in.
- I operate a roll-off for a refuse outfit based in Indio; is a garbage truck on your list?Roll-off and packer trucks are both on our list, and FMCSA’s carrier census shows 23 Indio carriers hauling garbage and refuse. Send the VIN, the title and photos of the body and chassis.
- Our farm truck is parked on a ranch out in Riverside County, not in town. Will you pick it up from the ranch?The ranch is fine. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,424 farms across Riverside County, and we go to the truck wherever it is parked. Give us the ranch address and a contact who will be there.
