Haul trucks between Capital Rock, Parks Bar and Cool Cave
Capital Rock LLC, an industrial-mineral mine listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 2.4 miles east of town. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads there may still be parked on that site when you decide to sell, and we can collect it from the mine gate once you tell us who holds the key and the hours the site is open.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations north-west of town, the Marysville site of S.R.I. at 10.5 miles and Western Aggregates LLC at 10.8 miles, and GMcB Lincoln Pits & Mill 10.8 miles south-east. If your truck has hauled aggregate between these pits, photograph the bed, the hoist and the VIN plate, and keep the title in your own name ready to sign over.
Parks Bar Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry 13.5 miles north, and Cool Cave Quarry, 22.1 miles east, round out the sites the Mine Safety and Health Administration records within reach of Wheatland. A tractor that ran stone out of either can stay where it last worked; give us the address and a contact on site.
Freight, utility, lowboys
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 52 active carriers in Wheatland, and 15 of them list general freight as a cargo they haul. Six declare utility work and five declare machinery and large objects, so the trucks behind those filings range from box vans to lowboy tractors and service bodies.
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 46 of those operators are registered as intrastate and 5 as interstate, while 20 run private fleets carrying their own goods. A truck that has stayed inside California carries a California title and registration; have both, along with any service records, in one folder before you call.
Three new carriers registered in Wheatland in 2025 and none in 2024, by the count in FMCSA’s census. The three biggest local fleets in that census list 20, 20 and 9 power units; if you are selling several units from one of those yards at once, a single list of VINs lets us plan one collection rather than several.
Short-haul mileage
Where a Wheatland truck spends its year
Ten Wheatland operators report annual mileage to FMCSA, and the middle figure among them is 14,000 miles a truck. Those are short-haul figures, and they mean the truck you are selling is likely parked at a yard, a farm or a job site close to town when we arrive.
The federal carrier census counts 45 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 62 working beyond it. If your truck is out of the area on a run when you contact us, tell us where it will be at the end of the week, and we can arrange collection there instead of in Wheatland.
Rice ground and pasture
Hay trucks and hopper rigs from Yuba County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 760 farms in Yuba County, with rice, cattle and honey as the leading products. Three Wheatland carriers on FMCSA’s register list grain, feed and hay among their cargo, so bulk tractors, hopper rigs and flatbeds hauling bales are all trucks we collect here.
A farm truck often sits in a shed or at the edge of a field between harvests. Send a photo of the odometer and the door sticker, tell us which road the gate is on, and have the registration card in hand; if the title has gone missing, a duplicate comes from the state’s title agency before the sale.
Construction crews
Dump and water trucks behind local construction
Of the 750 Wheatland jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, 65 sit in construction, which works out to 8.7 percent of local employment. Those crews rely on dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds that move equipment between sites.
If your truck belongs to one of them and is titled to the business, bring the paperwork showing who can sign for the company, so the transfer goes through in one visit.
Blackford Road
Nine bridges, no weight postings, one low span
Nine bridges serve Wheatland in the National Bridge Inventory, and none of them carries a posted weight limit. That leaves a loaded lowboy or a tri-axle dump free to reach most local yards without a detour for weight.
One structure, number 16C0081, carries Blackford Road over the Bear River at the Camp Far West weir with a clearance of 13 feet 5 inches, per the National Bridge Inventory. If your truck is parked past that crossing and stands taller than that, mention it, and we will route the collection around Blackford Road.
Beale and the rail line south
Collecting near Beale Air Force Base or toward Davis Yard
Beale Air Force Base lies 6.2 miles up the road to the north of Wheatland in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A truck kept by someone who lives on or near the base can be collected there if you arrange gate access first; tell us the entrance and the name to give at the gate.
Southward, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows Davis Yard 21.4 miles from Wheatland. Tractors that run containers or transload freight down to that yard can be collected wherever they are parked between the yard and Wheatland.
The questions we get asked in Wheatland
- My dump truck is still parked at a pit east of Wheatland. Will you collect it from the mine?Capital Rock LLC sits 2.4 miles east of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listings, and a truck parked at a site like that can be collected where it stands. Give us the name of whoever holds the mine gate key and the hours it opens.
- Will a tall rig clear the bridges near Wheatland and Camp Far West?Blackford Road’s bridge over the Bear River has 13 feet 5 inches of clearance in the National Bridge Inventory, the one structure locally under 14 feet. Give us your truck’s height and where it is parked, and we will plan the route.
- Do you take farm trucks used on rice ground?Rice leads the products of Yuba County’s 760 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and grain and hay trucks from those farms are among the trucks we collect. Photos of the hopper or flatbed plus the registration card are enough to begin.
