A hundred carriers, mostly staying in-state
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 100 active carriers based in Orosi, and 86 of them are registered for intrastate work against 12 for interstate hauling. For a seller that usually means the truck is parked close to home, in a yard or beside a packing shed in the valley, and that is where we arrange to collect it.
Private fleets account for 24 of those Orosi registrations under the same federal carrier census, so plenty of trucks here belong to a grower, a packer or a contractor hauling its own goods. If the truck is titled to a farm or a business rather than to you personally, have the name on the title and someone who can sign for that business ready when you contact us.
The largest Orosi carriers in FMCSA’s census list 7 power units each, one with 9 drivers and one with 7. An owner with a handful of tractors can sell one or several; send the VIN for each unit, and tell us which yard each sits in.
Produce, feed and general loads
Among Orosi carriers, 49 list general freight in FMCSA’s carrier census, 23 list fresh produce, 9 list farm supplies and 8 list refrigerated food. A reefer tractor or a day cab that has shuttled fruit to cold storage is something we take, so mention the trailer it pulled and whether a reefer unit goes with the sale.
Milk heads the list of Tulare County products, ahead of cattle and then corn, across the 3,713 county farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Trucks that hauled feed, silage or milk between county dairies are welcome. Send photos of the cab, the frame, the tires and any tank or body with your first message.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 111 of the 1,410 jobs located in Orosi in 2023 in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. If your truck works a seasonal harvest schedule, tell us when it is parked between runs so collection fits around the picking calendar.
Sand, gravel and granite east of the valley floor
Orosi Quarry, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, lies 2.6 miles east of town. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load there are part of what we purchase; give us the body type and the axle setup along with the VIN.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Kaweah South, another sand and gravel site 16.2 miles south-east, the LEMONCOVE GRANITE crushed-stone quarry at 19.3 miles south-east, and the Sanger Aggregate Plant 14.8 miles north-west. A truck that stays parked at one of those pits can be collected there; send the site address and the name of whoever controls the gate.
Construction holds 53 of Orosi’s jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns from the same bureau records 8 construction establishments. If a contractor’s truck is the one for sale, keep its registration and any service records together so they travel with the title.
Tank and rail
Liquid bulk terminals and Exeter Yard
Western Milling LLC appears as a liquid bulk terminal 14.8 miles south-west of Orosi in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and Van-G Logistics, another liquid bulk terminal, sits 20 miles west. Tankers and the tractors that pull them between those terminals and local farms are trucks we buy; tell us what product the tank carried.
EXETER YARD, a rail yard 19.3 miles south-east, is on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If the truck has been left near the yard or at a transload lot, it does not need to come back to Orosi first; we arrange the pickup where it stands.
Roadside stops, odometers and driver radius around Orosi
Twenty-seven Orosi trucks stopped between 2024-09-16 and 2026-08-19 turn up in FMCSA roadside inspection records; half sit at model year 2015 or newer, and 55.6 percent are ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, read the model year and VIN off the door jamb or the title and send both.
A median of 45,000 miles a truck is reported by 25 Orosi carriers in the federal carrier census. Send the odometer reading with your photos, since that one figure and the VIN answer most of our first questions.
Driver records filed with FMCSA put 103 Orosi drivers inside a 100-mile radius and 88 beyond it. A truck that is out on a longer run when you decide to sell can be collected wherever it is parked once the trip ends; just give us that address.
Duplicate titles, USDOT numbers and liens
California’s title agency, the Department of Motor Vehicles, is the office that issues a duplicate when the title for an Orosi truck has gone missing. Start that request before you contact us, and keep the receipt so we can see it is underway.
New Orosi registrations in FMCSA’s census came to 5 carriers in 2025 and 4 in 2024. If yours is a newer operation, or one closing down, have the USDOT number, the current registration and any lien release together, and the sale moves on the paperwork alone.
The questions we get asked in Orosi
- Our end-dump loads gravel at Orosi Quarry and stays parked there. Must it be hauled down to Orosi before the sale?Orosi Quarry sits 2.6 miles east of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from there. Give us the name of the quarry contact who opens the gate, and we line up collection with that person.
- Do you buy reefer tractors that hauled produce out of Orosi?Fresh produce is listed by 23 Orosi carriers and refrigerated food by 8 in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those tractors are on our list. Say whether the reefer trailer is part of the sale.
- Our dairy truck is titled in the farm’s name. Who signs when it is sold?Tulare County has 3,713 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and plenty of trucks here are titled to one of them. Whoever can sign for the farm signs the title, and the sale goes ahead on that signature.
- What if the truck is at a terminal outside Orosi?Western Milling LLC lies 14.8 miles south-west and Van-G Logistics 20 miles west on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and a truck at either can be collected where it stands. Send the terminal address and a contact on site.
