Aggregate sites ringing Ramona

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Lakeside - Vigilante Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation, 10.3 miles south-west of Ramona, and Turvey’s Granite Pit 13.6 miles to the south. If your dump truck or transfer rig hauls out of either pit, tell us which one when you get in touch, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together.

Further out, Santee Aggregates is a crushed-stone quarry 15 miles south-west and El Cajon Quarry sits 19.4 miles south, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A truck that is parked at a quarry yard can stay there; give us the gate contact and the hours the yard is open so the collection can be booked around them.

North-west of town, the Jerry Brown dimension-stone quarry is 11.8 miles away according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Stone haulers often run flatbeds or heavy tractors; have the title, the current registration and any service records together before you call.

Of the 409 carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 120 list general freight, 30 haul machinery and large objects, and 19 each carry motor vehicles or utility loads. Whichever of those your truck has done, tell us the body type and what it pulled, and that sets the questions we ask next.

Most operators here stay inside California: FMCSA’s carrier census records 372 intrastate carriers against 35 that run interstate, and 128 of the total are private fleets. A truck from a private fleet usually carries the owning company’s name on the title, so have a signer from that company ready.

Drivers split close to evenly by distance, with 502 working within 100 miles and 427 going beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is out on a run, send us where it will be parked when it is back, not just the Ramona address.

Fleet size and yearly miles

The three biggest fleets based in Ramona, per FMCSA’s carrier census, run 334, 24 and 16 power units. Selling several trucks out of one yard is handled as one job; send the VINs as a list and note which units share a lot.

Among the 73 carriers that reported mileage to the FMCSA carrier census, the median is 19,000 miles per truck a year. Include the odometer reading with the VIN when you first contact us, since those two details start every conversation.

New registrations keep coming: the FMCSA carrier census shows 18 new carriers in 2025 and 16 in 2024. If you started up recently and are selling a truck still on a loan, have the lender’s name and the payoff letter ready.

Inspectors stopped 112 trucks from Ramona between October 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2018. Tell us the model year and engine when you write, alongside the VIN.

In those same roadside inspection records, 34.8 percent of the trucks were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, a clear photo of the data plate and one of the odometer let us confirm what you have described.

Construction, farms and the jobs around them

Building trades fill 751 of Ramona’s 4,568 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, a 16.4 percent slice, while County Business Patterns shows 187 construction firms with a base here. If your truck is a contractor’s dump, water or flatbed unit, say what it was set up for and list any equipment mounted on it.

Nurseries lead the county’s farm output: foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers top the list for the 4,031 San Diego County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A nursery box truck or stake bed sitting on a farm can be collected from there; give us directions to where it is parked on the property.

The same LEHD figures list 202 manufacturing jobs, 98 in wholesale trade and 73 in transportation and warehousing in Ramona. A box truck or day cab from one of those businesses needs its title signed by whoever is named on it, so check that name before you call.

Escondido yard, Miramar and paperwork

Escondido Yard is 13.8 miles west of Ramona on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that works containers or freight out of that yard can be picked up wherever it is kept; send the address and the name of whoever has the keys.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Marine Corps Air Station Miramar 16.8 miles south-west and the Mission Gorge Rec Area installation 20.9 miles south-west. If your truck is stored near a base, tell us whether a pass is needed to reach it.

If the title for a Ramona truck has gone missing, tell us at the outset so the replacement request can be started before the collection date. Keep the registration card in the cab either way.
