Lincoln pits, Ophir quarries
Sheridan’s neighbouring pits, mills and quarries
Capital Rock LLC, an industrial-mineral mine listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 3.5 miles north of Sheridan, and GMcB Lincoln Pits & Mill sits 6.3 miles to the south-east. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that shuttles between those two sites can be collected right at the pit gate; send us the gate contact along with the VIN.
Robinson Gravel Pit / Ophir Rd. Quarry sits 13.5 miles east in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. S.R.I. MARYSVILLE, a sand and gravel operation, is 15 miles north-west by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, with Parks Bar Quarry 17.2 miles north and Cool Cave Quarry 18.8 miles east on that federal list. If your truck is staged at one of these rather than at home in Sheridan, give us the quarry name and who holds the yard key, and we plan the pickup at that spot.
Aggregate haulers often carry scale tickets and site sign-in sheets in the cab. Leave them with the truck; they tell us which pits it served, and a few clear photos of the bed, hoist and cab round out the picture.
Twenty-nine of thirty Sheridan carriers stay inside California
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 30 active carriers based in Sheridan, and 29 of them run intrastate, with a single interstate operation among them. For a seller here that usually means a California-plated truck with in-state registration papers, so have the current registration card ready before we talk.
Ten of those Sheridan carriers are private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than for hire, according to the federal carrier census. If your truck belongs to a farm, a contractor or a supply business instead of a trucking company, we buy it the same way; just tell us whose name is on the title.
Fleet sizes stay modest: the three biggest Sheridan operations listed with FMCSA field 11, 9 and 4 power units. Selling one unit from a fleet of that size is routine, and so is selling several together; list each truck’s VIN and where it is parked.
Bunks, bales and boxes
Log loads, feed runs and general freight from Sheridan
General freight is the cargo eleven Sheridan carriers declare in FMCSA filings, while five list logs, poles, beams and lumber. Log trucks and flatbed tractors with stake or bunk setups come out of that second group; photos of the bunks, stakes and binders help us see the setup.
Two local carriers declare farm supplies and two more declare grain, feed and hay, by the federal carrier census. Placer County counted 1,093 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, equine and sheep operations, so a hay truck or livestock rig may be parked on a ranch outside town; give us the ranch address and the gate code.
FMCSA mileage filings from six Sheridan carriers put their median truck at 14,773 miles over a year of work. Note your odometer reading when you contact us, alongside the VIN, so the details we start from are your own.
Plant and pit payroll
Manufacturing and mining on the payroll
Of the 286 jobs located in Sheridan in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 70 in manufacturing, a 24.5 percent share, and 57 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, or 19.9 percent. Trucks tied to plant yards and quarry work are the kind most likely to come up for sale here, and either can be collected at the site.
Sheridan holds nine construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally, small contractors whose water trucks, flatbeds and dumps sit in yards around town. Any of those can be picked up from the job site or the contractor’s yard; tell us which, and whether a loader or gate needs to be opened.
Beale, Davis Yard, beyond
Short hauls and longer runs out of town
In FMCSA’s carrier census, Sheridan carriers report 16 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 39 driving beyond that radius. A truck that runs farther may be sitting at a customer’s yard or a truck stop when you decide to sell, and we can collect it there instead of waiting for it to come home.
Davis Yard, a rail yard 17.1 miles south of Sheridan on the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is another place local trucks load and unload. Beale Air Force Base, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 10.5 miles north, draws its own traffic up the same roads; if your truck is parked near either, give us the street address.
A lost Sheridan title goes through the DMV at Roseville
Titles in California are issued by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles through its DMV field offices. Sheridan owners are 13.9 miles from the Roseville field office, which the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles lists at 7200 Galilee Road, Roseville, 95678.
If the title is missing, a duplicate from the Roseville office settles it before the sale, and we can talk you through the form when you call. Bring the registration card and your ID, and if a lender still holds a lien, have the payoff letter or lien release with you.
