South on the gravel road
Sousa Ready Mix and the mixer trucks it loads
Sousa Ready Mix, listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a sand and gravel operation, lies 15.1 miles south of Lake Shastina. Mixers, end dumps and belly dumps that haul aggregate out of a pit like that are trucks we buy, and we collect them from the yard or the driveway where they stand.
If your mixer or dump truck has hauled for that pit, say so when you first get in touch and send the VIN with photos of the drum or bed, the chassis and the cab. Knowing which body sits on the frame lets us ask the right follow-up questions about it.
Twenty-two miles south-east
Trucks that meet the McCloud Yard
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places McCloud Yard 21.9 miles south-east of town. Day cabs, flatbeds and log trucks that shuttle freight to and from a rail yard all fit what we purchase.
A tractor kept near McCloud does not have to come back to Lake Shastina for us to see it. Give us the address where it is parked and tell us whether a loaded or unhitched trailer is still attached, and the collection gets planned around that spot.
Cattle, milk and wheat
Ranch and dairy trucks around Lake Shastina
Around Lake Shastina, ranches and dairies make up much of the farm picture: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 655 farms across Siskiyou County, with cattle, milk and wheat listed as the leading products. Cattle pots, milk tankers, grain trucks and the tractors that pull them are all welcome here.
For a truck that has spent its seasons on a ranch, keep the registration and any service records together with the title. Take photos outside as well, showing both sides of the cab and the trailer hookup, and send them with the VIN.
Morgan Way in Mt Shasta, fifteen miles off
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through its DMV field offices, and the one closest to town is Mt Shasta, at 154 Morgan Way, Mt Shasta, 96067, about 15 miles from Lake Shastina. A seller whose title has gone missing can ask that field office for a replacement before the sale.
If the truck still carries a lienholder on its California title, bring the lien release along with the title when you visit Morgan Way. Have the registration card and your photo ID ready too, so the name on every document matches the owner who signs.
California fleet rules
Contested, paused and repealed: three CARB rules
The California Air Resources Board lists the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation as contested, and a federal court record shows enforcement of the zero-emission vehicle sales requirements for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is paused. Neither status stops an owner in Siskiyou County from selling a diesel truck to us.
The Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation’s drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements have been repealed, per the California Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record. If you held off on selling while those rules were pending, tell us the engine year from the emissions label and we will go from there.
