Cement and aggregate
Kilns and pits north of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Victorville Cement Plant 3.3 miles north-east of town and the Oro Grande Quarry cement plant 5.5 miles north. If your pneumatic tanker or end dump has been hauling out of either kiln, it may still be parked at a yard along that stretch, and we collect it from there. Send us the address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings: Scheerer Quarry, 6.1 miles north-east, and the Oro Grande Pit, 10.1 miles north. A transfer dump or belly dump that loads at those pits can be sold where it sits. Photograph the box, the tailgate and the VIN plate, and have the title in your name before we schedule anything.
Protech Minerals, a mineral processing plant 3.7 miles east of Victorville per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, rounds out the ring of sites. Tell us which of these places the truck worked, so our first questions to you concern that rig and its equipment instead of its route.
Trucking outfits based in town
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 1,693 active carriers based in Victorville, with 1,145 of them hauling general freight and 149 each listing refrigerated food and meat. Whether yours is a reefer tractor or a dry-van day cab, the steps are the same: VIN, odometer reading, a few photos of each side and the cab interior.
Of those operators, 1,015 run intrastate only and 673 hold interstate authority, according to the same FMCSA census, while 175 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck kept on California roads can be picked up in town; one based out of state for part of the year just needs its current location from you.
New authorities keep arriving on the High Desert: FMCSA records 114 carriers registered here in 2025 and 106 in 2024. If you launched an outfit in that window and are now selling its first tractor, bring the registration card and any lien release from the lender along with the title.
Fleets and the trucks inside them
The three biggest local operations on the FMCSA census field 72, 42 and 38 power units. Selling several tractors out of one yard is a single conversation with us; list each VIN and note which units share a lot so a collection can cover them together.
FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 1,002 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2018, with 32.8 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever year your truck is, have its registration current and its maintenance file handy so we can see its history.
Among the 564 Victorville carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 58,932 miles per truck a year. Read us the odometer when you first get in touch, and send a picture of the dash display so the number on file matches the one in the cab.
Work in the Valley
Warehouses, plants and job sites
Transportation and warehousing account for 1,685 of Victorville’s 33,412 jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and manufacturing another 1,510. Box trucks and yard tractors from distribution and plant work are on the list of what we buy; tell us the body length and lift gate details when you write.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 124 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD puts 707 local jobs in construction. Dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds off building sites are welcome; a truck still parked at a finished job site can be picked up there once the site contact knows we are coming.
Wholesale trade adds 661 jobs locally per the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures. For delivery straight trucks from that line of work, empty the cargo area before collection and leave the keys and the title together.
County farms and roads
Dairy, cattle and open highway
San Bernardino County holds 809 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and potted flowering plants leading their sales. A livestock hauler, milk tanker or nursery box truck from a county ranch is collected at the farm itself, so give us directions that work for a tractor-trailer.
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration records 21 bridges in Victorville, none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Let us know if the route to your truck crosses a private gate or a dirt approach instead, so we bring the right equipment.
Clean truck rules in flux
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Fleets drayage and high-priority fleet requirements have been repealed, and enforcement of the 2036 zero-emission sales requirement is paused under a federal court filing. For a sale from Victorville, the title and registration are what we ask for first.
CARB lists its Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation as contested after recent amendments. If you have filed fleet reports under any of these rules, keep copies with the truck’s other records; they belong with the title packet, nothing more.
