East to the quarry
Aggregate loads ten miles east of Woodacre
Ten point two miles east of Woodacre, the San Rafael Rock Quarry appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roster as a crushed-stone quarry. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load aggregate there are trucks we collect, and a valley driveway or a gravel pad off the road is a fine place for us to meet one.
If your rig has hauled rock out of that site, write down the body type, the axle layout and the VIN before you get in touch. Add a photo of the bed and one of the plate on the door jamb, and the questions that follow stay short.
Woodacre tankers and the two Chevron-named yards
Two rail yards named for Chevron sit across the bay from Woodacre: WEST CHEVRON YARD at 14.2 miles and CHEVRON YARD at 15 miles, both carried in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that shuttle freight between those yards and Marin are welcome here.
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals near them, RICHMOND CA TERMINAL about 14.6 miles out and a second listing called RICHMOND at 15.6 miles. Tank tractors and fuel delivery trucks that load at those racks can be sold from right where they are parked tonight, whether that is in Richmond or back home in Woodacre.
For a tanker, send the tank’s placard history and any inspection certificates you still hold along with photos of each compartment hatch. Those sheets tell us what the barrel carried without a phone call.
Docks to the east
Roll-on/roll-off cargo at Point Potrero, sixteen miles out
Port records from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list Richmond, CA, 15.6 miles east, and the Point Potrero Marine Terminal at the Port of Richmond, a roll-on/roll-off terminal 16.2 miles away. San Francisco Port sits 19 miles to the south-east on the same federal list.
Drivers based in Woodacre who pull containers or vehicle carriers off those docks can leave the tractor at a yard in Richmond and give us the gate contact. Tell us who manages that lot and we will set the pickup up with them. The tractor can stay in Richmond the whole time.
Valley builders
Contractor trucks and Marin ranch work
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns ties 8 construction establishments to Woodacre, and the flatbeds, dump bodies and utility trucks that serve small builders like those belong on our list. Photograph the body, the lift gate or crane if it has one, and the cab.
Across Marin County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 255 farms, with milk, cattle and equine listed as the top products. Stock trailers’ tractors, feed trucks and milk haulers from those dairies and ranches can be collected at the barn; just tell us the gate code and whether a long rig can turn around in the yard.
The DMV field office in Novato and its duplicate titles
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicles issues vehicle titles, and its Novato office, one of its DMV field offices, stands at 936 7th Street A, Novato, 94947, about 7.7 miles from Woodacre. A seller who cannot find the title can apply for a duplicate there before we arrive.
Keep the current registration card, a photo ID that matches the name on the record, and any lien release from a lender together in one envelope. If someone else is listed as an owner, have them sign or be reachable on the day.
Where California’s fleet regulations stand for a Marin seller
According to notices from the California Air Resources Board, the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, and a federal court filing shows that enforcement has been put on hold for the 2036 100 Percent Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Sales Requirements.
Woodacre owners who ran drayage or high-priority fleets should note that the Air Resources Board has repealed the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation - Drayage Fleet Requirements and High Priority and Federal Fleets Requirements. Selling a diesel tractor registered in Marin is open to you either way; give us the engine model year from the emissions label under the hood.
