Stone from the hills
Crushed stone on the western side of Soulsbyville
Blue Mountain Minerals runs a crushed-stone quarry 10.3 miles north-west of Soulsbyville, as listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts climbing in and out of that pit is a truck we want to hear about; send us photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN.
Sierra Rock Products is the second crushed-stone site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, sitting 10.7 miles due west of town. If your truck is parked at a yard out that way rather than at home, give us the gate address and who holds the key, and we will arrange collection at that spot.
A dozen carriers, every one of them intrastate
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 12 active carriers based in Soulsbyville, and all 12 are registered for intrastate work, with none listed as interstate. A truck that has only ever run California routes still sells to us the same way; have the California registration card with the title when you reach out.
If your truck belongs to a business like that, tell us whose name is on the title so the paperwork matches the seller from the start.
Two new carriers registered in 2025 and none in 2024, FMCSA’s records show. Owners who started a trucking outfit recently and now hold an extra tractor can sell it just as easily as a long-time operator can.
Freight, cold loads, dry bulk and hay out of the foothills
Among the Soulsbyville carriers in FMCSA’s census, two declare general freight, one refrigerated food, one dry bulk commodities and one grain, feed and hay. Box trucks, reefers, pneumatic tankers and flatbeds all fit what we buy, so tell us which body or trailer goes with the unit.
If a reefer unit is part of the sale, include its hour meter reading and the make of the refrigeration unit in your first message. For a dry bulk tanker, a photo of the data plate on the trailer saves a round of questions later.
Cattle, horses and goats on Tuolumne County ranches
Around Soulsbyville, Tuolumne County holds 326 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, equine and goats lead its list. Stock trailers, hay haulers and feed trucks that serve those ranches are welcome; a ranch truck kept behind a barn can be collected right where it sits.
Ranch vehicles sometimes carry an old title in a family member’s name. Find it before you call, and if it is missing, the field office covered below can issue a replacement.
Construction outfits and how far their drivers go
Crew trucks, flatbeds and small dumps that worked their job sites are all on our list; tell us whether any equipment such as a crane or liftgate is mounted.
FMCSA’s census puts 17 drivers working within a 100-mile radius and 6 going farther. That same FMCSA census lists the largest Soulsbyville fleet at 6 power units with 4 drivers. A spare truck sitting in a yard like that is one we collect right where it is parked.
Sonora DMV
Duplicate titles at the Sonora field office
Titles here come from the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest DMV field office is the Sonora office at 885 Morning Star Drive, Sonora, 95370, about 5.9 miles from Soulsbyville. If your title is lost, that office handles the duplicate before the sale.
If a lender’s lien still shows on the title, ask the lender for a lien release and keep it with the title for us.
California’s clean truck regulations as they stand
A federal court filing on govinfo.gov shows enforcement is paused for the state’s rule requiring zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty sales by 2036.
Soulsbyville owners can also set aside the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements, which have been repealed. A diesel truck from town can be sold to us under the rules as they currently read.
