Stone haulers off the San Rafael Rock Quarry
Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that carry aggregate out of a site like that one are on the list of trucks we buy, and a seller here can hand us the truck wherever it is kept between loads.
If your dump truck is parked at a yard near the quarry rather than at home in Ross, tell us the street address and who holds the gate key. Send photos of the body, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate, and note the axle setup, so the truck we arrive for matches the one you described.
West Chevron Yard sits 9.4 miles east of town and Chevron Yard 10.3 miles out, both rail yards on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that has shuttled freight to and from those sidings can be collected at the yard it last worked from; give us the location and a name to ask for on arrival.
According to the Energy Information Administration, two petroleum product terminals lie east of Ross: Richmond CA Terminal at 9.8 miles and a second Richmond terminal at 10.7 miles. Owners of fuel tankers and tank-pulling tractors from that run should list the trailer type, the tank’s inspection papers and the registration card when they first contact us.
Point Potrero and the port at Richmond
Eleven miles east, Richmond appears as a port in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and that agency also lists the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility, at 11.3 miles. Day cabs pulling chassis or vehicle loads between those docks and the Marin side are trucks we purchase outright.
San Francisco Port is 14.4 miles to the south-east on the same federal list. Whether your tractor ended its last shift at Point Potrero or on the San Francisco waterfront, it can stay there; share the terminal name and any gate rules, and we plan the pickup around them.
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles lists its Corte Madera field office at 75 Tamal Vista Boulevard, Corte Madera, 94925, about 3.1 miles from Ross.
If the title is missing or still names a lienholder, start the replacement or lien release at Corte Madera before we schedule the collection. Keep the registration, the VIN and your photo ID together so the transfer paperwork can be signed on the day the truck leaves.
Seven bridges in and around Ross appear in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, and that federal record shows none of the seven carrying a load posting and none with a clearance below fourteen feet.
For a seller, that means a tall box truck or a loaded tractor can usually be reached at a driveway or lot in town. Still tell us about any narrow lane, gate width or overhanging tree at the address, so the right equipment comes for the job.
Ross jobs and Marin dairy country
Service vans, landscaping trucks and contractor rigs that work those jobs are trucks we take on, and the owner can arrange the sale from home while the truck stays where it is parked.
Ross shares Marin County with 255 farms counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where milk, cattle and equine operations lead the list. Livestock haulers, feed trucks and milk tankers from those ranches belong on our list too; send the VIN, the body type and recent service records.
California’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed as contested, and a federal court record shows enforcement of the state’s full zero-emission sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles as paused.
The Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation’s drayage and high-priority and federal fleet requirements have been repealed, according to the state’s rulemaking record. A Ross owner selling a diesel tractor does not need to settle any of these rules before contacting us; just send the engine model year with the VIN.
The questions we get asked in Ross
- Will a tall truck clear the bridges around Ross?Ross’s seven bridges in the National Bridge Inventory include none under fourteen feet and none with a load posting, so tell us about any tight gate or driveway at the address instead.
- Can you pick up a tractor at the Richmond port or the Chevron yards?Point Potrero Marine Terminal at 11.3 miles and the Chevron rail yards at 9.4 and 10.3 miles all lie east of Ross, by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the North American Rail Network, and a truck parked at any of them can be collected there.
