A small roster of local carriers

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 25 active motor carriers based in San Marino, and 22 of them run intrastate only, with 3 crossing state lines. A California-only truck is usually registered and titled here, so keep the California title and current registration together before you call us about a sale.

Eight of those San Marino operators are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA carrier census. If your truck belonged to a household business or a shop rather than a for-hire outfit, have the owner of record on the title ready to sign, since that name is the one we need on the paperwork.

New registrations are steady but small: FMCSA’s census shows 3 carriers starting up in San Marino in 2025 and 2 in 2024. A newer operator selling a first truck should gather the bill of sale from purchase, the title and any lienholder release in one folder before pickup.

Movers, general freight and passenger vans

General freight is the most common cargo class on the FMCSA carrier census for San Marino, carried by 8 carriers, with household goods logged by 4. Box trucks and straight trucks with lift gates fit that mix, and photos of the box interior, the lift gate and the cab help us see the truck as you describe it.

Two San Marino carriers are registered for passengers and 1 for beverages on FMCSA’s roll. Shuttle buses, vans and beverage route trucks are vehicles we collect too; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a picture of the data plate with your first message.

Among the six San Marino carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 15,000 miles per truck. State the odometer figure plainly when you reach us, and include any service records you kept, since they show where the truck went and what was done to it.

Sixteen and under

One sixteen-truck fleet and a handful of small ones

The FMCSA carrier census shows one San Marino fleet with 16 power units and 16 drivers, followed by fleets of 3 and 2 power units. Selling several units from a small yard works the same as selling one: list each VIN with its title status and we arrange collection truck by truck.

Of drivers on San Marino carriers, FMCSA counts 36 working within 100 miles of base and 28 running farther out. A truck on a longer route may be parked away from the city when you decide to sell, so give us the street address where it sits now and a contact who can hand over the keys.

Rail yards and container ramps south-west of town

Aurant Yard lies 4.6 miles south-west of San Marino on the North American Rail Network, and the Metrolink Shops Yard sits 7 miles west on the same Federal Railroad Administration and BTS map. Trucks that shuttle to rail sidings like these can be picked up at a yard gate as easily as a driveway, provided someone can let us in.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two intermodal ramps south-west of town: Lamar St (LATC) at 7.7 miles and East Washington Blvd at 8.9 miles. A day cab that pulls containers off those ramps should come with its title, registration card and photos of the fifth wheel and frame.

Gravel pits to the east, fuel terminals to the south

East of the city, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Peck Road Gravel Pit at 6.3 miles and the Durbin Plant at 7.5 miles, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and transfer trucks working those sites are welcome; tell us the body type, the bed length and whether the truck is parked at the pit or at home.

Heading south, the Energy Information Administration lists the Montebello petroleum product terminal 8.1 miles away, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows Ventura Transfer Company, a liquid bulk terminal, at 10 miles. Tankers that load at either one should have their tank inspection paperwork kept with the title when we come to collect.

Wholesale, building trades and nursery growers

LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 3,836 jobs in San Marino in 2023, with 165 in wholesale trade and 108 in construction. Contractors’ flatbeds and wholesale delivery trucks from that work can be collected from a job site, a yard or a home street.

San Marino holds 22 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and a flatbed titled to one of those firms is collected the same way as one in a private name. If a builder’s truck is titled to the company, have whoever signs for the business ready, along with the registration and the keys.

Potted flowering plants, mushrooms and equine top the list for Los Angeles County’s 766 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and some of those growers sit within reach of San Marino. Nursery box trucks and horse-hauling rigs from those farms fit what we collect; a photo of the cargo area and the title in the farm’s name are what to have on hand.

The questions we get asked in San Marino
