Two rail yards inside two miles of home
Rowland Yard lies 1.5 miles south-west of South San Jose Hills, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles boxes from a yard that close is often parked within a few blocks of its owner’s house, so tell us the street and whether a trailer is still hooked up.
Just 1.7 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the City of Industry intermodal ramp, and the same rail network lists the COI Intermodal Terminal Yard at that distance too. If your day cab pulled containers off that ramp, send the VIN, the registration card and a photo of the door sticker before anything else, and we can start from there.
Wholesale, building and trucking jobs in town
Of 1,623 jobs counted in South San Jose Hills for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 271 were in wholesale trade, a 16.7 percent share. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for distributors fit what we buy, and a seller with one should gather the title and any service invoices kept in the cab.
Construction held 87 of those jobs and transportation and warehousing held 61, figures the LEHD release puts at 5.4 and 3.8 percent. Contractors with a dump truck or a flatbed parked at a job site can leave it there; give us the site address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.
Irwindale aggregates and Azusa Rock
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Durbin Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 7.3 miles north-west of town, with Irwindale Aggregates at 7.9 miles in that same direction. Dump trucks and transfer rigs hauling from pits like these can stay parked at the plant, and we collect a truck where it stands rather than having it driven home.
Ten miles north, Azusa Rock appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry. If you ran a bottom dump or end dump out of Azusa, tell us the axle setup and the body type, and have the pink slip handy when you call.
Liquid bulk and fuel terminals to the west
Savage Service Corp, a liquid bulk terminal, is 9.6 miles west in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Tankers and the tractors that pull them out of a terminal like that are on our list; note the trailer type and whether the tractor is sold with or without it.
Farther along, at 12.5 miles west, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at Montebello. Fuel haulers working that run should keep any terminal inspection sheets with the truck, since they tell us where it has worked in a way photos alone cannot.
Drayage, zero-emission sales and the courts
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high priority fleet requirements are listed as repealed, which matters to anyone who hauled containers from the ramps near South San Jose Hills. Keep the truck’s engine label photo and registration together so its model year is clear when you contact us.
Court filings show enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement paused, and the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation is marked contested. Neither status stops you from selling a diesel tractor here; send the VIN and we will look up the rest.
Nursery and stable trucks across the county
Potted flowering plants, mushrooms and horses lead the 766 Los Angeles County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, the county that includes South San Jose Hills. Refrigerated box trucks from nursery and mushroom growers, and horse haulers from stables, are trucks we purchase too.
A grower’s truck often sits on the farm itself rather than in a yard, which is fine with us. Share the property address, a gate code if there is one, and photos of the reefer unit and the cargo box from each side.
The questions we get asked in South San Jose Hills
- My tractor stays on a lot beside the City of Industry ramp - does it have to come to South San Jose Hills first?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts that ramp 1.7 miles west of South San Jose Hills, and we collect trucks from lots like it. Name the lot operator and we will set the pickup up through them.
- The title for my Irwindale gravel dump truck is missing - what happens now?Irwindale Aggregates sits 7.9 miles north-west of town per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and plenty of trucks from those pits change hands with paperwork sorted along the way. The state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and we can walk you through the form.
- Does the repealed drayage rule change anything for my container truck?California’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage requirements are listed as repealed by the Air Resources Board, so a drayage tractor from the Rowland or City of Industry yards can be sold like any other. Send the VIN and registration to start.
