East along Peck Road
Gravel operations just east of North El Monte
PECK ROAD GRAVEL PIT, a sand and gravel operation, lies 1.3 miles east of North El Monte in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. A dump truck or transfer rig that cycles in and out of that pit may be sitting on the pit floor or in a nearby yard when you decide to sell, so tell us which gate it is behind and who holds the key.
Another sand and gravel site, the Durbin Plant, is listed 2.2 miles east by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which also places Azusa Rock, a crushed-stone quarry, 6.8 miles to the north-east. If your truck split its shifts between these three, note that in your first message along with the VIN, and photograph the bed, the tailgate and the chassis plate so the pictures match the description.
Ramps toward Industry
Intermodal ramps and rail yards toward City of Industry
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Los Angeles - City of Industry intermodal ramp 8.3 miles south-east of town. Close by, at 8.2 miles, the North American Rail Network shows the COI INTERMODAL TERMINAL YARD. Day cabs that pull chassis and containers off those ramps are trucks we purchase; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a shot of the fifth wheel first.
West of North El Monte, AURANT YARD sits 8.5 miles out, per the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that runs between the western yard and the City of Industry ramps can be collected at whichever end it is parked; give us the street address and the name of whoever runs that lot.
Tank work at Montebello and further south
MONTEBELLO CA, a petroleum product terminal, is 8.7 miles south-west on the Energy Information Administration’s list of terminals. Tank trucks and tractors that load there are in scope, and a seller should gather any loading-rack or site paperwork the truck carried, since it shows where the rig has worked.
Ten miles and a fraction to the south, at 10.2 miles, Savage Service Corp appears as a liquid bulk terminal in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If you pulled a tanker between that terminal and Montebello, list both the tractor and the trailer when you reach us and give a VIN for each, since each carries its own title.
Where California’s clean-truck measures stand for an owner here
California’s Air Resources Board shows the drayage and high-priority fleet portions of its Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation as repealed in its 2025 rulemaking record. For a North El Monte owner hauling containers to the City of Industry ramps, the board’s own rulemaking record is the place to read the current status before you get in touch.
In a filing from the federal court for California’s Eastern District, enforcement of the 2036 rule requiring all medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales to be zero-emission is paused. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation itself carries a contested status in the Air Resources Board’s amendment notice, so keep the truck’s engine label and model-year information handy in case a question about it comes up.
Jobs and county farms
Local payrolls and Los Angeles County growers
North El Monte held 401 jobs within its own boundaries in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A truck kept on a driveway or a side street rather than a company yard can be collected from there; send a photo of where it is parked so we can judge access.
Across Los Angeles County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 766 farms, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine heading the list. A box truck that moves nursery stock or a horse-trailer rig fits what we buy, and the registration card plus a title in the seller’s name is what we need to see.
Papers and photos
Title, registration and pictures for a North El Monte rig
A missing title is replaced through the state’s title agency, so if yours cannot be found, start that request before the collection date. Keep the current registration with the truck, and where a business owns it, have the person who can sign for that business available on the day.
Photos settle most questions early: all four sides, the cab interior, the dash with the odometer lit, and the VIN plate on the door jamb. Add a line about what the truck hauled, whether gravel off Peck Road, containers from the south-east ramps or fuel out of Montebello, and we will ask about anything else.
