Quarry ground south-east, west and east of Kelseyville
A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at that pit may be parked on site when you call, so tell us whether it sits inside the quarry gate or at your yard, and who can let us in.
Highway 175 Quarry, a sand and gravel operation 5.8 miles west, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck hauled aggregate from there, photograph the bed, the cab, the VIN plate and the odometer before you get in touch, and have the title in the name on the registration.
DNA Ridge Rock sits 8.2 miles east of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and it too produces sand and gravel. Collection from a working pit needs a contact who knows the gate hours, so send that name along with the truck’s location.
The same FMCSA census shows 37 of them listing general freight; if yours is a box truck, flatbed or tractor that pulled dry vans for one of them, start with the registration and the VIN.
Nine local carriers haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, nine carry farm supplies and nine move machinery and large objects, according to that same federal census. A log truck, a stake bed or a lowboy tractor from any of those trades is one we will look at; send the registration and a few clear photos to start.
New authority keeps arriving: FMCSA records six carriers registered here in 2025 and one in 2024. If you started a small operation recently and are selling the truck you began with, keep the title and your USDOT number in hand when you call.
Intrastate routes and how far the drivers go
Of Kelseyville’s 134 active carriers, 131 run intrastate and only 3 are authorised for interstate work, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Your truck is therefore likely to be somewhere in California when we collect it, and a California title is the document we will ask about first.
Thirty-five of those carriers are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire, the federal census shows. A business selling a truck it used for its own deliveries should have whoever signs for the company ready to sign the title.
FMCSA’s figures put 159 local drivers working within 100 miles of base and 165 beyond it. If the truck is out on a run when you decide to sell, tell us where it finishes up; we come to the truck rather than asking you to bring it home.
From owner-operators to fleets of many units
The top three fleets on record here run 70, 13 and 9 power units, with 53, 7 and 9 drivers respectively, by FMCSA’s count. Selling several trucks at once from a fleet like that works best with a list of VINs and where each unit is parked.
Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, along with the VIN, so the details we start from match the truck we collect.
A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or water truck from one of those jobs can be collected from the job site or the shop, wherever it is parked.
Lake County holds 581 farms, and cattle, sheep and goats top the list, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A livestock hauler or a farm truck kept on a ranch outside town can stay put; send the ranch address and directions to where the truck is kept.
Farm trucks are sometimes registered to the ranch rather than to a person.
