Two gravel operations just outside Monument Hills
A dump truck or transfer rig that hauls aggregate out of that plant is the kind of truck we collect, and it can stay on the plant side of town while we arrange it. Have the title and the current registration card in the cab when you send us photos.
West of town, Cache Creek Quarry is another sand and gravel site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, about 4.2 miles out. If your truck is kept at a quarry yard rather than at your house, give us the gate hours and the name of whoever can let a driver in, so collection fits the yard’s schedule.
For trucks that have spent years on aggregate runs between these two sites, photos of the bed, the hoist, the frame rails and the tires tell us more than a description. Add a shot of the VIN plate and the odometer, and keep any scale tickets or service invoices you still hold.
Woodland Yard and the rail line running east
Under six miles east, at 5.9 miles by the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits WOODLAND YARD. Day cabs that shuttle loads between rail sidings and local warehouses around Woodland fit what we buy, and a tractor parked near that yard is easy for us to reach.
Further along, YOLO PORT YARD shows up on the same North American Rail Network listing at 19.8 miles east of Monument Hills, close to the river. If your tractor works that end of the county but you live out here, the sale can be handled from your kitchen table while the truck stays where it is parked.
Petroleum terminals and the port on the Sacramento River
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals east of Monument Hills: WEST SACRAMENTO at 20.2 miles and SACRAMENTO CA at 20.6 miles. Tankers and the tractors that pull fuel trailers out of those terminals are on our list, and if you kept inspection reports from terminal work, send them with the photos.
Sacramento-Yolo Port, 22.7 miles south-east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port list, is another place trucks from this side of Woodland end up working. A container chassis tractor or flatbed that runs to the port can be collected from a port-area lot; just tell us whose lot it sits on.
Travis System Annex No 2, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 23.5 miles south, rounds out the sites within a half-hour radius. If you drove contract freight there, have the truck’s registration and any base access details ready when we talk about pickup.
Freight jobs in a small Yolo community
Of 284 jobs counted in Monument Hills for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), 102 were in transportation and warehousing, a 35.9 percent share. Many of those trucks are parked at home between loads.
If your rig sits in a driveway or a side lot here, a clear photo of where it is parked helps us plan which truck to send for it. Tell us whether the tractor has a trailer attached and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
Cattle, rice and wheat across the surrounding farmland
Around Monument Hills, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 795 farms in Yolo County, with cattle, rice and wheat leading. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and bulk tractors that serve those farms are trucks we buy, whether the truck is kept on a ranch or at a grain yard.
Rice and wheat trucks often sit idle between harvests on a farm lot outside town. If yours is one of them, give us the road name and any gate code, and tell us if a tractor or loader is parked in front of it so the driver can get it out.
Woodland DMV
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through its DMV field offices, and the nearest is the Woodland office at 1224 E. Gibson Road, Woodland, 95776, about 6 miles from Monument Hills by the DMV’s own office list.
Bring the registration card and your ID to the Gibson Road counter, and if a lender is still listed on the title, ask them for a lien release first. A title in your name with no open lien is the one document every sale here starts from.
State clean-truck rules as they stand
For the state’s all-zero-emission sales requirement on medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, enforcement is paused under federal court records from the Eastern District of California.
Monument Hills owners selling a diesel tractor or dump truck do not need to settle any of these rules first. Send us the VIN, the registration and photos, and the truck is reviewed as it is.
