Aggregate pits on Timnath’s south side, stone to the west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists PORTABLE #1 Fort Collins, a sand and gravel operation 2.6 miles south of Timnath, and Parsons Sand and Gravel 8.8 miles to the south-east. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls aggregate from either one may be sitting at the pit when you sell it, so tell us which gate it is behind and who can let us in.
Further out, Sprague Stone LLC and the Masonville Quarry are dimension-stone quarries roughly 13.7 and 13.8 miles west, according to MSHA records. Flatbeds and heavy-haul tractors carrying cut stone off those sites are trucks we buy; send the VIN, a photo of the deck and the title holder’s name so we know who signs.
Timnath’s carriers: mostly private, mostly in-state
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 16 active carriers registered in Timnath, and 10 of them are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than for hire. If your truck belongs to a business, have the company’s registration and whoever is authorised to sign the title ready before we talk.
Of those 16, the carrier census counts 12 that run intrastate only and 4 with interstate authority. A Colorado-only truck usually carries just state registration, while one with interstate authority may also have apportioned plates; either way, a copy of the cab card helps us match the truck to its paperwork.
One local fleet runs 62 power units and 83 drivers, another runs 8 units with 10 drivers, and a third runs 5 units with 8 drivers, by FMCSA’s figures. Selling several units at once from a yard like those is fine: list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we plan the collection as one job.
Box freight, packer bodies and lumber loads out of Timnath
General freight is the cargo listed by 8 Timnath carriers in the FMCSA census, garbage and refuse by 4, large machinery by 3, and logs, poles and lumber by 2. Box trucks, refuse packers, lowboy tractors and log or lumber trailers all fit what we purchase here.
For a roll-off or rear-loader, photos of the body and the hydraulics alongside the cab let us see the whole unit, and a refuse truck that is still on a municipal or contract route can be collected from the yard once its last shift ends; just tell us the yard address.
New registrations in town stay small, with FMCSA recording 2 new carriers in 2024 and another 2 in 2025. If yours is a recently formed outfit selling its first truck, the USDOT number and the title in the company’s name are the two things we ask for first.
Timnath job sites and drivers who stay near home
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,384 jobs in Timnath, with 118 of them, or 8.5 percent, in construction and 55, or 4 percent, in manufacturing. Water trucks, dump trucks and flatbeds that serve job sites are often parked on site, and we collect from there.
Timnath holds 16 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally, matching the town’s 16 active motor carriers. Contractors selling a truck off a project should give us the site address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys on the day.
Most local driving stays close: FMCSA’s carrier census records 111 drivers working within 100 miles and 13 working beyond that. A truck that comes home to Timnath each night is easy to reach, while one that is out on a longer run can be collected wherever it finishes.
Cattle, dairy and corn ground, plus the NORTH rail yard
Across Larimer County, 1,620 farms report to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, milk and corn head the county’s list of products. Cattle haulers, milk tankers and grain trucks from those farms are trucks we buy, and a farm truck can stay in its shed or barn lot until we arrive.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a rail yard named NORTH about 6.3 miles north-west of town. A tractor that drays freight to and from that yard can be picked up there if that is where it sits; tell us the access road.
Two Colorado truck emission rules Timnath owners should know
Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission has the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule in force as part of the state’s Clean Cars and Trucks Regulation. That rule concerns new trucks offered for sale in the state, and selling a truck you already own to us is a separate matter.
The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule, under that same regulation, is also in force according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s code of regulations. Have the engine model year and the emissions label photographed so we can confirm the truck’s details without a second visit.
The questions we get asked in Timnath
- Our dump truck sits at PORTABLE #1 Fort Collins - can it be collected right there?PORTABLE #1 Fort Collins is 2.6 miles south of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we can collect the truck at the pit itself. Pass along a name at the pit who can unlock the entrance on collection day.
- Our Timnath company hauls its own goods with several trucks - could all of them go in one sale?Ten of Timnath’s 16 active carriers are private fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, and several units from one owner can be bought together. Send each VIN and parking location in one message.
- What paperwork should a Larimer County farm have ready for a cattle or milk truck?Larimer County has 1,620 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and for a farm truck we need the title, the registration and photos of the cab, frame and body. If the farm is a company, have the person authorised to sign available.
- My refuse truck is still working a route. When can it be collected?Four Timnath carriers list garbage and refuse as cargo in FMCSA’s census, and route trucks like theirs can be collected from the yard after the last shift. Tell us the yard address and the day it comes off the route.
