Santa Rosa is a Sonoma County town whose trucks stay home: of 1,668 carriers based here, nineteen in twenty run inside California only, a quarter are private fleets moving their own goods, and the median carrier reports 13,000 miles a year on each truck. After general freight the cargoes they declare most are machinery, logs and lumber, and refuse, and the biggest fleets based here run a few hundred power units each.
So a Santa Rosa yard holds a dump truck off Mark West Quarry north-east of the city, a log truck, a lowboy with machinery, a roll-off on the refuse routes, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the highway. Construction is the biggest trucking employer in the county, its farms lead with milk, cattle and cut flowers, so a feed truck and a cattle hauler work the ranch roads too, and the roadside inspections put the median truck at model year 2020.
Corby Avenue
The DMV field office at 2570 Corby Avenue handles a duplicate title and the title transfer. The five-day notice of sale, the lien and the clean-truck rules are on the California page.
A refuse truck is two serial numbers, the chassis and the body, so photograph the body maker's plate as well as the VIN; a quarry dump truck is read through the bed, the frame and the door plate, a log truck through its bunks. Then the cab, the engine and the dash with the key on, and tell us the quarry, the route or the lane it worked and whether the trailer goes with it.
Quarry roads and the scale
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. A transfer rig off Mark West that ran the table and a refuse truck that never left the city are the same conversation with us.
Tell us where the truck is in Santa Rosa, up by Mark West, south by the pits or in a contractor's yard, and send photos and the title.
