Warehouse, construction and plant jobs in Mead Valley
Of the 4,413 jobs counted in Mead Valley for 2023, transportation and warehousing holds 1,185, a 26.9 percent slice, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A tractor or box truck that has shuttled loads between warehouse docks here is the kind we collect, so note which yards it ran between when you get in touch.
Construction follows close behind on those same LEHD figures, with 926 jobs and a 21 percent share, while manufacturing holds 852. If your truck carried materials to job sites or parts to a plant floor, gather the title and current registration first, then any service records you kept for it.
Mead Valley has 130 construction businesses against just 7 warehousing ones, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake beds owned by a small contractor can be sold one at a time, so tell us how many units you have and where each one is parked.
Small fleets on the FMCSA rolls
Ten active carriers are based in Mead Valley according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and nine of them operate intrastate while one runs interstate. Most of what is registered here stays inside California, so your truck is likely parked close to home when we arrange collection.
On that same federal census, three of the ten are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. FMCSA’s census shows small fleets: one lists 8 power units with 4 drivers, and two others list 2 power units each. An owner with two trucks can photograph both on the same afternoon and send the pictures together.
General freight is the cargo four of the local carriers declare to FMCSA, with one each listing driveaway and towaway, machinery and large objects, and motor vehicles. A car hauler, lowboy or tow rig fits right alongside a dry van tractor here; tell us the body type and the trailer setup when you write.
At the scales
Model years on Mead Valley rigs at FMCSA inspection stops
Between August 28, 2024 and August 26, 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 703 trucks tied to the area, with a median model year of 2018. Send the year, make and model along with the VIN and a photo of the title.
FMCSA roadside inspection records also show 35.3 percent of the 703 Mead Valley trucks carried a model year at least ten years back. Older and newer trucks are both on our list; what helps is a clear photo of the VIN plate and the door sticker.
Clay, sand and gravel to the south-west and west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Pacific Clay Pits 9.6 miles south-west of Mead Valley, with the Nichols Road Pit and a portable sand and gravel plant both 9.9 miles out in that same direction. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that spends its days at one of those pits can be collected from the site; give us the gate contact and the hours it opens.
Further west, Eagle Valley, an industrial-mineral mine, is 12.6 miles away, and the 3M Corona Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, is 13.1 miles out, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If the truck is kept on quarry ground, ask the operator whether an outside driver needs a site induction, and pass that on to us.
North-west to Arlington Yard, north to March ARB
Arlington Yard is a rail yard 12.4 miles north-west of town on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that pull loads to and from that yard are welcome, and a sleeper or day cab parked near the tracks can be picked up there.
The Riverside Operation, a mineral processing plant listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits 14.2 miles north-west, and March ARB lies 3.9 miles north according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck sits on a secured lot near either, send the address and the name of whoever can let a driver through.
Milk tankers and mushroom reefers off Riverside County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,424 farms in Riverside County, with milk, mushrooms and cotton as the leading products. Milk tankers, refrigerated straight trucks and farm flatbeds from those operations can be sold to us straight from the farm yard.
For a farm-plated truck, find the California title before you call. If the title is lost, California’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request early keeps the sale moving.
