Sand, gravel, clay
Gravel and clay haulers working Nichols Road and the Pacific sites
Just under five miles out, at 4.8 miles west of Meadowbrook, sits Nichols Road Pit, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration registers as a sand and gravel operation. A dump truck or end dump that has spent its shifts loading there may well be parked at the pit or at a yard on the way, and we can collect it from whichever spot you give us. Send the street address or the gate it sits behind, plus a note on whether a tow truck can reach it.
Pacific Clay Pits, an industrial-mineral mine, and Pacific Aggregates Pits, another sand and gravel operation, sit 6.2 and 6.4 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Haulers that run between those two and Nichols Road often stay in that corridor between jobs. Photograph the bed, the hoist, the frame rails and the cab, and list which pits the truck served, so the pictures and your description line up.
Crushed, cut and mineral stone sites toward Corona and Gilman Springs
Northwest toward Corona, the 3M Corona Plant is a crushed-stone quarry 15.5 miles from Meadowbrook, and Eagle Valley, an industrial-mineral mine, sits 14.4 miles out in the same direction, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A tractor pulling bottom dumps or transfer trailers off those sites is something we purchase as readily as a straight dump. Say up front whether the bottom dump or transfer box is part of the sale or stays on your lot.
Chandler Aggregates at Gilman Springs, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration classes as a dimension-stone quarry, lies 17.5 miles northeast. Flatbeds and heavy-haul tractors that carry cut stone off a site like that are welcome here too. Have the VIN, the engine make and any service invoices you kept in one place before you call; those three things answer most of what we ask first.
Rail yard, air base
Corona Yard to the northwest, March ARB to the north
Corona Yard, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits 18.4 miles northwest of town. Day cabs and yard tractors that shuttle loads to and from a rail yard are part of what we buy. If yours is kept near the yard rather than at home, give us that location and we will plan the pickup there.
North of town, March ARB is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation 11.3 miles from Meadowbrook. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that make deliveries on contract to a base still go through the same steps with us: a title in your name, the registration card, and clear photos of every side.
Murrieta Express
Murrieta Express on Clinton Keith Road for a Meadowbrook title
For a lost title, the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles replacements through its DMV field offices. The nearest office the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles lists is Murrieta Express, at 27890 Clinton Keith Road, Suite F, Murrieta, 92562, about 10.8 miles from Meadowbrook. Start the duplicate there before we schedule a pickup, and keep the receipt the office gives you.
If a lender still shows on the title, bring the lien release with you to Murrieta Express so the clerk can clear it while you are at the counter. A truck registered to a business needs whoever signs for that business to sign the transfer, so line that person up ahead of collection day.
Riverside County growers
Milk, mushrooms and cotton on Riverside County farms
Around Meadowbrook, the farm picture comes from USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which counts 2,424 farms across Riverside County and ranks milk, mushrooms and cotton as its top products. Bulk milk tankers, reefer straight trucks and flatbeds that served those farms all belong on the list of trucks we take.
A truck kept on a dairy or a growing operation is often parked behind a barn or out by a field rather than on a paved lot. Describe the ground it stands on and how a tow truck would get in, and if it carries a body such as a tank or a refrigeration unit, tell us its make and whether it comes off or stays on.
Advanced Clean Fleets repealed, Advanced Clean Trucks contested
California’s Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation requirements for drayage fleets and for high priority and federal fleets have been repealed, according to California’s published rulemaking record. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles has been paused by a federal court.
None of those rules changes what you need to sell a truck to us from Meadowbrook. Have the engine model year and the emissions label photographed along with the rest of the truck, since those two details are among the first things we look at.
The questions we get asked in Meadowbrook
- Will you collect a dump truck that stays parked at Nichols Road Pit or one of the Pacific pits?Nichols Road Pit is 4.8 miles west and the two Pacific pits about six miles west, by Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from sites like those as long as you can give us an address and get us through the gate.
- My truck title went missing; is Murrieta Express on Clinton Keith Road the place to replace it?Murrieta Express, a field office of the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles at 27890 Clinton Keith Road, Suite F, Murrieta, is about 10.8 miles from town and handles duplicate titles.
- Do you buy farm trucks from Riverside County dairies and growers?Riverside County’s 2,424 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lead with milk, mushrooms and cotton, and the tankers, reefers and flatbeds that serve them are trucks we purchase.
- Does the Advanced Clean Fleets rule stop me selling my tractor?Its drayage and high priority fleet requirements have been repealed, as California’s rulemaking record shows, so a Meadowbrook owner can sell with a title, the registration and photos as usual.
