Chassis work between Aurant Yard and the Commerce ramps
Aurant Yard lies 5 miles west of Rosemead on the North American Rail Network, and Commerce Yard sits 6.4 miles to the south-west. A day cab that shuttles between those two yards can be collected wherever it is parked between loads, so send us the street address or the yard gate it sits behind.
Two intermodal ramps listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Commerce at 6.6 miles and East Washington Blvd in Los Angeles at 7.2 miles, are both south-west of town. Of the Rosemead carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 46 list intermodal containers as cargo; if your tractor pulled chassis to those ramps, have the title and current registration in hand before we talk.
Fuel racks at Montebello, liquid bulk at Ventura Transfer
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal at Montebello, 4.9 miles south-west of Rosemead. If your tractor hauled fuel from the Montebello racks, tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind, and include the trailer’s own title if it is part of the sale.
Ventura Transfer Company, a liquid bulk terminal 7.2 miles south-west according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is another stop for tank work near the city. Send photos of the cab, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate, along with the title, when you first contact us.
Dump work from the Peck Road and Durbin pits
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Peck Road Gravel Pit 5.4 miles north-east of Rosemead and the Durbin Plant 5.6 miles east, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that haul from those pits are trucks we purchase; tell us the body type and bed length when you write.
With 101 construction establishments in town on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, a dump truck may be sitting at a contractor’s yard rather than at home; one parked there instead of your home can be picked up there, provided someone can open the gate on the day we arrange.
Carrier authority and cargo on Rosemead tractors
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 591 active carriers based in Rosemead, with 415 operating intrastate, 175 interstate and 77 running private fleets. An intrastate owner selling a truck that never left California should have the California title and the registration card ready, and if the title is lost, the state’s title agency is where a duplicate comes from.
General freight is the cargo listed by 313 of those carriers, with household goods and fresh produce at 20 each, per the same federal census. Box trucks, reefer units and dry-van tractors all fit what we collect, so name the body or trailer type in your first message.
New registrations in the city reached 52 in 2025 and 36 in 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you registered your authority recently and are now selling the truck, keep your USDOT number handy so the paperwork on the sale lines up with the registration.
Inspection model years and yearly miles per truck
Of the 329 Rosemead-based trucks pulled in for FMCSA roadside inspections from August 2024 to August 2026, half were model year 2019 or newer, and 25.8 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, give us the year, make and model in the first message.
For the 156 local carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 60,000 miles per truck a year. Drivers working within 100 miles number 2,689 in that census, against 821 beyond it. Tell us the odometer reading along with where it sits.
Jobs, bridges and county farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 16,451 jobs in Rosemead, among them 589 in wholesale trade, 475 in manufacturing, 468 in construction and 432 in transportation and warehousing. A straight truck from a wholesale route or a flatbed from a manufacturing yard is just as welcome as a tractor.
None of the 31 bridges in Rosemead carry a load posting, and none clear under 14 feet, on the National Bridge Inventory’s figures. Mention any low carport or tight driveway where the truck is parked.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 766 farms in Los Angeles County, with potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine operations at the top. Nursery box trucks and horse-trailer haulers from those operations are part of what we collect too.
