Maxwell’s carriers move feed, hay and grain
Grain, feed and hay top the cargo lines in Maxwell: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 13 such haulers among the town’s 36 active carriers, with 9 more carrying farm supplies. If your truck is a bulk hopper tractor, a flatbed for baled hay or a feed body, it fits squarely with what this town runs, and we buy it where it is parked, whether that is a shop yard or the edge of a rice field.
Five Maxwell operators list general freight and five more list machinery and large objects, according to the same FMCSA carrier census. Lowboys and step-decks that move harvest equipment between ranches are part of what we collect; send a photo of the trailer hookup and the deck along with the cab so we know which rig we are coming for.
Short in-state hauls
Thirty-four Maxwell outfits never cross the state line
Thirty-four of Maxwell’s carriers are registered for intrastate work only and two run interstate, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and ten of the total are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never crossed the state line usually carries California registration alone, so have that registration card and the title together before you call.
Among ten carriers reporting mileage, the median truck logged 8,680 miles in a year, a figure from FMCSA’s carrier census. That is a neutral record of seasonal farm hauling; read us the odometer and the VIN when you get in touch, and we will work from there.
The biggest Maxwell fleets are small: FMCSA’s census shows the top one at seven power units with three drivers, and two others at five units each. If you are a one- or two-truck operator selling a single tractor, we handle it the same way as a fleet sale, one VIN at a time.
Seven hundred farms around the town
Around Maxwell, 715 farms operate in Colusa County, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture reports, with rice, cattle and wheat at the top of the list. Trucks that serve those crops tend to sit idle between seasons in barns and equipment yards, and we can collect from a farm lot as easily as from a paved shop.
If the truck spent its seasons hauling paddy rice to dryers or cattle to sale, tell us what body or trailer it pulled. Livestock tractors, grain trucks and farm-plated units are all trucks we buy, and a note on the body type saves a round of questions.
Gravel pits north and east of Maxwell
Valley Rock Products - Willows, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 22.3 miles north of Maxwell. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that work aggregate runs toward Willows can be picked up at the pit yard or at your home base, whichever is simpler for you.
East of town by 22.4 miles, the Morehead Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as another sand and gravel site. Colusa County construction counts seven establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, so if your truck hauled rock for a local builder, give us the job-site address where it now sits.
Bridge Street in Colusa handles a missing pink slip
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through its DMV field offices, and the nearest to Maxwell is the Colusa office at 1025 Bridge St STE B, Colusa, 95932, about 11.4 miles away. If the pink slip is missing, that office is where a duplicate is requested before the sale closes.
Bring the registration, your identification and any lien release to that Colusa counter. A truck still financed needs the lender’s release on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles, and once that is in hand we can complete the transfer with you.
Maxwell tractors and the Air Resources Board’s rule changes
For Maxwell owners weighing a sale, the California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested in the state’s own amendment notice. The state’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is a separate matter, and a federal court filing shows its enforcement is paused.
In Colusa County, the drayage, high-priority and federal fleet parts of the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation have been repealed, as the Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record shows. A farm tractor or dump truck here can be sold to us under the rules as they currently stand, and we handle the paperwork side with you.
