Rock, gravel and mineral sites around Rocklin
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists GMcB Lincoln Pits & Mill, an industrial-mineral mine, 6.5 miles north-west of Rocklin, and a second industrial-mineral mine sits 15.9 miles out in that same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that cycles between those pits may well be parked at a site gate when you call. Give us the gate location and the name of whoever holds the key to it.
East toward the foothills, Cool Cave Quarry is a crushed-stone operation 14.3 miles out, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Mine Safety and Health Administration records also list the Teichert-Grantline Plant 16.1 miles to the south and the Robinson Gravel Pit 16.2 miles to the north-east, both sand and gravel operations. If your truck works one of them, photograph the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, and have the California title in hand before we talk.
Sidings south-west, fuel racks to the south
Davis Yard lies 6.3 miles south-west of Rocklin and Polk Yard 21.1 miles out in the same direction, both shown on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles to those rail sidings can stay where it sits in a yard lot; tell us which lot and who can let us in.
Bradshaw, a petroleum product terminal 16.9 miles south of town, appears in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. Owners of a fuel tractor that loads there should gather the registration card and any tank or hazmat inspection paperwork the truck carries, and send those with the photos.
General freight, reefers and meat loads out of Rocklin
Of 409 active carriers headquartered in Rocklin, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 194 hauling general freight from this Placer County city. That same census shows 32 hauling refrigerated food, 32 hauling meat and 28 carrying fresh produce, so reefer units are a regular sight on Rocklin driveways. Whatever the trailer behind it, the tractor’s title and registration are the first two papers we will ask to see.
Of those 409 Rocklin operators, 304 run intrastate only and 105 cross state lines, according to the federal carrier census, and 130 are private fleets moving their own goods. An intrastate tractor that never left California still needs its CA title signed over, so check that the name on it matches yours.
New entrants keep arriving: FMCSA records 28 carriers registered in Rocklin during 2025 and 26 during 2024. If you started up in one of those years and are now selling the truck you began with, have your USDOT number and registration to hand when you contact us.
Fleet sizes and driving range in Placer County’s Rocklin
Among the Rocklin-based fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, the three biggest run 99, 70 and 66 power units, with 164, 46 and 77 drivers respectively. A fleet manager selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses and we will plan around it.
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 532 across Rocklin carriers, while 891 work beyond that radius, per the federal carrier census. Across 100 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck logs 20,000 miles a year. A long-haul unit may be out on the road when you reach us, so tell us where it will be parked and when.
Model years on Rocklin tractors stopped at roadside
Inspectors checked 692 trucks tied to Rocklin carriers between August 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year of those trucks at 2020. Have the model year and VIN ready from the registration card so we can match the truck to its record.
Within those 692 inspected trucks, 17.8 percent were ten or more model years old, according to the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever year yours is, the title, the registration and any service records you kept are what we look at alongside your photos.
Construction jobs, farms and bridges
Construction accounts for 3,073 of Rocklin’s 25,668 jobs, or 12 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while transportation and warehousing holds 845 and wholesale trade 520. Rocklin is home to 218 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. A water truck, flatbed or dump truck that served a contractor site can be collected from the yard where it is kept.
Placer County has 1,093 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, equine and sheep operations. A livestock hauler parked out on a ranch is fine where it is; give us directions to the gate. The National Bridge Inventory records 20 bridges in Rocklin, none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance, so a full-height tractor can reach most addresses in town.
The questions we get asked in Rocklin
- My dump truck sits at a pit gate toward Lincoln, so will you collect it from that spot?Collecting at a pit gate is routine for us. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places GMcB Lincoln Pits & Mill 6.5 miles north-west of Rocklin, and we collect from the site. Pass along the name of the person who unlocks that pit entrance.
- Where do I deal with a lost California truck title?California’s state title agency issues replacement titles. Start that before we schedule collection, and send us the VIN and registration in the meantime.
