Selling a truck in Arvada? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Gravel, stone and the mines north-west of Arvada

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Jeffco Gravel Mine, a sand and gravel operation, and the Church Harvey Mine, an industrial-mineral site, both about 6.2 miles north-west of Arvada. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauls out of either one, it may well be parked at the pit when you sell; tell us whose ground it sits on and who can let us in.

Spec Agg Quarry, a crushed-stone operation about 9.2 miles south-west, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. Aggregate trucks that load there often keep scale tickets and site sign-in sheets in the cab, so leave those with the truck along with the title and current registration.

Construction employs 3,915 people working in Arvada, about 11.2 percent of the 34,966 local jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Mixers, dump bodies and lowboy tractors from that work are trucks we buy, and a photo of the body plate or the upfitter’s tag tells us the build without a long phone call.

Irondale ramp, the North yards and the asphalt terminal

About 8.6 miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Denver, CO - Irondale intermodal ramp. A day cab that drays containers between that ramp and Arvada warehouses can be collected at the yard it returns to each night; give us that address and a gate contact.

Two rail yards named North sit 8.6 and 8.9 miles east of the city on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is stored near the tracks rather than at home, send us a pin or a cross street so the pickup goes to the right lot.

The Energy Information Administration lists a roofing and asphalt petroleum product terminal about 9 miles east. Tankers and asphalt haulers that serve it should come with their tank inspection paperwork, which we ask for alongside the title.

Freight, lumber and refuse: who hauls from Arvada

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 770 active carriers based in Arvada, and 666 of them run intrastate only while 104 cross state lines. For a Colorado-only truck, the Colorado title and registration are the two papers to find first; an interstate tractor should also have its apportioned cab card handy.

General freight is the cargo listed by 302 of those carriers, machinery and large objects by 150, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 87, and garbage and refuse by 82, per the same FMCSA census. Box trucks, lowboys, log and lumber flatbeds and roll-off or rear-load refuse trucks are all on the list of what we take.

Private fleets, which haul their own goods rather than for hire, number 447 among Arvada carriers in FMCSA’s register. A contractor or business selling a truck it owns should have someone who can sign for the company ready, along with a title in the company’s name.

Inspection years, yearly miles and fleet sizes in Arvada

Across 229 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019 and show 36.2 percent at ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, send the VIN first; it shows us the make, engine and build in one line.

A median of 14,851 miles a truck appears among the 117 Arvada carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA. FMCSA’s carrier census counts 1,695 drivers working inside 100 miles and 784 going farther. A truck that returns to an Arvada yard at night can be picked up right there.

In FMCSA’s census, one Arvada-based fleet runs 100 power units with 86 drivers, and two others run 43 and 38. A fleet selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses, and we work through them as a single sale.

Bridges and Colorado’s clean truck rules

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 88 bridges in Arvada, 3 of them load-posted and none under 14 feet. Name the street where the truck is parked when you contact us, and say whether the way out crosses a load-posted bridge.

Colorado’s Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule, both adopted by the state’s Air Quality Control Commission, are in force. Neither stops you from selling a diesel truck you already own; keep the emissions label under the hood visible in your photos so we can read the engine family.

Farm and county

Jefferson County farms and wholesale work

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 531 farms in Jefferson County, with cattle, potted flowering plants and horses at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and nursery delivery trucks from those farms can be collected on the property itself.

In 2023, wholesale trade accounted for 1,233 Arvada jobs and manufacturing for 3,069, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Straight trucks and tractors that run between those plants and warehouses are a fit for us; note whether yours has a liftgate or reefer unit when you write in.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau puts 473 construction establishments in Arvada. If your company is one of them and is clearing out a work truck, a pickup at the shop or the job site is fine, as long as someone there knows the truck is going.
