Crews in the basin
One Meyers job in five is on a building crew
In the 2023 LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau, Meyers had 324 jobs, and 64 of them were in construction. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies that support those crews are trucks we buy, so if yours has been hauling gravel, lumber or equipment to job sites around the basin, tell us what it carried.
Construction made up 19.8 percent of local employment in that same Census Bureau LEHD release, roughly one job in five. A contractor’s truck is often parked at a yard or a job site rather than at home; give us that address and whether a loader or tow rig can reach it, and we plan the collection there.
Ranch and tree farms
Cattle and Christmas trees on the Sierra slope
Across the county, 1,204 farms are counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle lead the list of what they produce. Stock trucks and flatbeds that work those ranches can all be sold to us, wherever on the property they are kept.
Cut Christmas trees and short-term woody crops follow cattle among El Dorado County’s leading farm products in the USDA census. A seasonal truck that hauls trees only part of the year still qualifies; send photos of the cab, the bed or body, and the tires, plus the VIN, so we know exactly which truck we are collecting.
Eight miles to the Lake Tahoe Boulevard counter for a missing title
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles title transfers through its DMV field offices, and the closest to Meyers is the South Lake Tahoe office at 3344 B Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, 96150, about 8.1 miles from town. A Meyers owner whose title has disappeared can ask that South Lake Tahoe counter for a replacement copy.
Bring the registration card and your identification when you visit the South Lake Tahoe field office, and have the title signed over once it is in hand. If a lender still holds a lien, ask the lender for a release before the sale so the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles can record the new owner.
Clean truck regulations and a Meyers diesel
California’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, and the drayage, high-priority and federal fleet requirements of the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation have been repealed. A truck based in Meyers can be sold to us whichever way those rules settle.
The state’s zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is on hold, with enforcement paused according to a federal court record. Meyers owners weighing whether to keep a diesel tractor or sell it do not need to wait for that question to resolve before contacting us.
At your gate
Selling a truck from the south end of the lake
Meyers trucks are often kept at a home, a ranch gate or a contractor’s lot rather than in town. We come to the truck, so give us the street address or directions and note anything about access, such as a gate code or a steep driveway.
Have the title, registration and any service records together before pickup, and send clear photos of the truck from each side. With the VIN and those documents in hand, the handover at your property is a matter of signatures.
