Gravel at the edge
Two sand and gravel sites within three miles of Muscoy
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the San Bernardino Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 1.3 miles south of Muscoy. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads there may still be parked near the plant gate when you decide to sell, and we can collect it from that spot. Give us the street address or the gate it sits behind, and the name of whoever holds the key.
Lytle Creek Pit, three miles west, is the second sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list for this area. Aggregate haulers that run between the two sites often carry a scale ticket trail; if you kept those tickets or any loader receipts, put them in the cab folder with the title. Photos of the bed, the hoist and the tag axle help us understand the truck before we see it.
Intermodal ramp and the A and B yards
Under four miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the San Bernardino intermodal ramp at 3.7 miles from Muscoy. Day cabs that shuttle containers off that ramp spend most of their life within a short radius of town. Send us the VIN and a clear shot of the cab door sticker first, and tell us whether the tractor is at your house or in a yard near the ramp.
SAN BERNARDINO A YARD sits 3.9 miles south-east and SAN BERNARDINO B YARD 4.4 miles south, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is parked inside a rail-served lot rather than at home, ask the lot operator about gate access and pass their number to us with the VIN.
Fuel south
Colton’s petroleum terminals and the Riverside plant
Two petroleum product terminals, both named Colton, stand 6.4 and 6.8 miles south of Muscoy on the Energy Information Administration’s list. For a tank tractor that loads at those racks, keep the registration and the most recent annual inspection report with the title so they travel together when the truck leaves.
Further south, the Riverside Operation, a mineral processing plant, is 9.9 miles away in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. A truck kept near that plant does not need to be driven back to Muscoy for the sale. Tell us the town it is in and a contact on site, and the pickup is planned around where it stands.
Ten small carriers, mostly local work
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 10 active carriers based in Muscoy: 7 run intrastate only, 3 cross state lines, and 3 are private fleets moving their own goods. For an intrastate truck, the California registration card and title are what we ask to see; an interstate tractor should also have its USDOT number on the door, which you can read out to us over the phone.
General freight is hauled by 7 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, with beverages, household goods and metal sheets, coils and rolls each listed by 2. A box truck from a household goods move or a flatbed set up for coil can be sold by itself, without the rest of a fleet; tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled.
Fleets here are small: the FMCSA census shows one with 4 power units and 2 drivers, another with 2 power units and 3 drivers, and a third running a single truck with one driver. If you own one of a handful of units, you can sell one now and keep the others working. The same census logs one new Muscoy carrier in 2024 and another in 2025.
Muscoy’s builders and the county’s dairy and nursery farms
Of the 716 jobs located in Muscoy in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 70 in construction, or 9.8 percent. Contractor-owned dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds are often registered to a business rather than a person, so have the business name on the title match the name of whoever signs for the sale, or bring a letter from the owner.
Across San Bernardino County, dairies, cattle ranches and growers of potted flowering plants lead the 809 farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Feed trucks, livestock haulers and nursery box trucks from those operations are trucks we purchase; if the title was lost, California’s state title agency issues the duplicate, and the request can be started before we schedule the pickup.
Drayage, zero-emission sales and the Muscoy tractor owner
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets requirements for drayage, high priority and federal fleets have been repealed, per the board’s 2025 rulemaking notice. Drayage owners working the San Bernardino ramp can sell a tractor from that work whenever they choose.
A federal court filing shows enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is paused, and the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested in the Air Resources Board’s own announcement. Neither status changes what we need from you: title, registration and a set of photos.
The questions we get asked in Muscoy
- Can you collect a dump truck sitting by the gravel plant just south of Muscoy?That plant is 1.3 miles south of Muscoy on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from it or from any lot nearby. Pass along the yard’s street address and the phone number of the person holding its gate key.
- Which documents does a Muscoy interstate tractor owner need to hand over?Only 3 of the 10 Muscoy carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census run interstate, and for those trucks we ask for the title, the California registration and the USDOT number painted on the door.
- Which office replaces a lost California title for a truck kept in Muscoy?A Muscoy truck titled in California gets its replacement from the state’s title agency, and that application can go in before we book the collection.
- Can I sell one truck and keep the rest of my small fleet?Muscoy fleets in FMCSA’s census run 1, 2 and 4 power units, and we buy a single tractor or straight truck from any of them, one unit at a time.
