Pit row
Nichols Road Pit and the clay workings beside it
Nichols Road Pit, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 1.7 miles west of Warm Springs, is close enough that a truck parked there is practically in town. If your dump truck or transfer rig loads at that pit, give us the yard address where it is kept and we will plan the pickup there instead of asking you to move it.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Pacific Aggregates Pits at 3.5 miles and Pacific Clay Pits at 3.6 miles, both due west of town. A belly dump or a ten-wheeler that shuttles between them can be photographed right where it parks: send the cab, the bed or trailer, the tires and the plate, plus the VIN.
Clay from Pacific Clay Pits counts as an industrial mineral in the MSHA records, so trucks hauling from it may carry site access cards or load tickets. Keep any of those with the title; they tell us what the truck did without a long phone call.
Eagle Valley, the Corona quarry and the north-west run
Toward the north-west, MSHA lists Eagle Valley, an industrial-mineral mine about 12.9 miles from Warm Springs, and the 3M Corona Plant, a crushed-stone quarry at 14.1 miles. A tractor or rock-body truck that works that stretch may spend nights at either site rather than at home, so tell us which one when you first get in touch.
For a truck kept at a quarry gate, ask the site office ahead of time whether an outside driver may enter, and give us the contact name. That one detail lets us arrange collection at Eagle Valley or Corona with no surprises at the entrance.
Hauling and building jobs around Warm Springs
Transportation and warehousing account for 133 positions, or 27.1 percent, of the 491 that Warm Springs carried in 2023 under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If one of those jobs is yours and the truck behind it is ready to go, have the registration card and the title in the same folder before we talk.
Construction holds another 68 of those positions, or 13.8 percent, according to the same LEHD series. Owners of a water truck, a flatbed or a dump body from building sites can send a short list of attached equipment, such as a hoist, a tarp system or a pump, so the description matches the photos.
Service invoices from a local shop help as well. They are not required, but a stack of them shows when the truck was last looked after and saves us questions later.
Murrieta
A Murrieta counter for lost pink slips
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through its DMV field offices, and the one nearest Warm Springs is Murrieta Express at 27890 Clinton Keith Road, Suite F, Murrieta, 92562, about 11.7 miles away by the department’s own office list. A seller whose title has gone missing can start the duplicate there before we collect.
Bring photo identification and the VIN to Murrieta Express when you apply. If a lender is still shown on the title, ask that office about the lien release at the same visit; the title has to be in the seller’s name alone when we collect.
Freight yards and an air reserve base to the north
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows Corona Yard 17.1 miles north-west of Warm Springs and Arlington Yard 18.8 miles to the north. A day cab that drays freight to or from either yard can be picked up wherever it ends its shift; say which yard it works.
March ARB, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 13.1 miles north, is another point on the map for trucks hauling in this corner of the county. If your truck is parked near the base, a street address or cross streets let us find it on the first visit.
Dairy, mushroom and cotton hauling
Around Warm Springs, Riverside County counts 2,424 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, mushrooms and cotton at the top of its sales list. A milk tanker, a reefer box or a cotton module hauler from that work is welcome; tell us what body or trailer goes with it.
For a farm truck registered under ranch or agricultural plates, include a photo of the registration with the others. That way the paperwork question is settled before the truck leaves the property.
Three air board rules, three different statuses
The California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, and the 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements are under a federal court order; enforcement there is paused.
Warm Springs owners should also know the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements has been repealed. None of the three stops you from selling a diesel truck to us, and we take the truck as it is registered today.
