Dump trucks and the quarry down the road
Just 3.1 miles south-east of Santa Venetia, San Rafael Rock Quarry is on Mine Safety and Health Administration rolls as a crushed-stone producer. Owners of dump trucks, end dumps and transfer rigs that haul aggregate out of a pit like that can send us the VIN, a few photos of the body and the bed, and the plate number to start.
If your stone hauler is parked at a contractor yard near the quarry rather than at your house in Santa Venetia, give us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key. A pickup three miles from town is planned around the yard’s hours, so tell us when it opens.
Crew trucks from Santa Venetia contractors
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 86 construction jobs among the 1,115 based in Santa Venetia during 2023, or 7.7 percent of local work. Flatbeds, stake beds, mixers and box trucks from that trade are trucks we purchase, whether one or several sit on the same lot.
For a crew truck, have the California title in the name on the registration, the current registration card and any service records kept by the shop. If the title went missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request before we schedule pickup keeps the sale moving.
Richmond yards and petroleum terminals
Across the bay to the south-east, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places West Chevron Yard 7.6 miles from Santa Venetia and Chevron Yard 8.3 miles out. Tractors and tank trucks that shuttle between Marin and those Richmond rail sidings can be collected on either side of the bridge.
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration records nearby: Richmond CA Terminal at 8.2 miles and a second Richmond terminal at 9.1 miles, both south-east. If your fuel tanker has loaded at either, note which one and keep any tank test certificates with the title so they travel with the truck.
Richmond and San Francisco docks
Port records from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics show Richmond 8.6 miles east of town, the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility at the Port of Richmond, 9.9 miles south-east, and San Francisco Port 16 miles south. Day cabs that pull chassis or move vehicles off those docks fit what we collect.
When a port tractor stays parked inside a terminal gate, we need the location, the name of the person who can let us in, and photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel. We arrange the pickup with the terminal itself, and the tractor stays where it is parked.
Milk, cattle and horse haulers around the county
Marin County held 255 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and equine listed as its top products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and horse trailer rigs from those operations are welcome here, and we come out to the ranch for them.
On a farm truck, the paperwork is often in a barn office rather than a glovebox. Gather the title, the registration and any brand or health certificates kept for the hauling, and give us directions to the gate, since ranch roads around the county may need a note on where a tow can turn.
The questions we get asked in Santa Venetia
- Can my dump truck stay at its lot by San Rafael Rock Quarry until pickup?That quarry sits 3.1 miles south-east of Santa Venetia, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from the yard where your truck sits. Share the lot’s street address plus whoever unlocks it.
- My truck’s title vanished while it was garaged in Santa Venetia; which office issues another?A California truck’s duplicate title comes from the state’s title agency, and you can request it before we book collection. Tell us when you start so we can line up the rest around it.
- Can you pick up a tractor parked at the Port of Richmond?Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond is 9.9 miles south-east of town on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and a truck inside it can be collected there. Tell us who staffs the Point Potrero gate and which row the tractor occupies.
