Gravel trucks from the Daniels pits and the Fountain Creek quarries
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Amrize Daniels Sand Pit # 1 & 2 about 2.9 miles north-west of Security-Widefield, and Crusher 4, another sand and gravel operation, about 5.6 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either site is often parked at the pit or a yard nearby rather than at a house. Give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key, and we arrange the collection at that spot.
Further out, Menzer Quarry sits roughly 14.3 miles south-west and Red Canyon Quarry about 16.2 miles south-west, both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck has been hauling rock from either one, tell us which quarry it worked and send photos of the body, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate. Have the title in hand, and the registration if it is still current.
Fuel tractors on the Colorado Springs to Fountain rack run
Two petroleum product terminals bracket the town on the Energy Information Administration’s records: the Colorado Springs terminal around 3.1 miles north-east and the Fountain terminal about 5.8 miles south. A tractor that pulls fuel between those racks and local stations is a truck we buy, with or without the trailer. Tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it, since that changes what gets picked up.
Keep any tank inspection paperwork and service records together with the title before you contact us. Those papers, plus clear photos of the tractor’s cab, frame and fifth wheel, let us ask the right questions about a fuel hauler from the first call.
Work around Peterson and Cheyenne Mountain
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Peterson Space Force Base lies about 5.2 miles north of Security-Widefield and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station about 7 miles west. Trucks that deliver to contractors and suppliers around both installations tend to be based in yards along the roads between them. A truck parked in a contractor’s lot can stay there; tell us who controls the lot so pickup can be cleared with them.
For a truck on or near a gated site, name a contact who can let the collection driver through, and send the address before we set the day.
Small intrastate outfits in Security-Widefield
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 53 active carriers based in Security-Widefield, with 47 of them operating intrastate, 6 interstate and 22 running private fleets. Most of these trucks stay inside Colorado, so the registration and title you need are Colorado ones. If the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, so apply for it before you contact us.
General freight is the most common cargo among those carriers, with 28 listing it in FMCSA’s carrier census; 9 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, 8 move machinery and large objects, and 6 carry motor vehicles. A flatbed or lowboy combination is common in that mix. Send the trailer’s VIN and title too if you want it collected with the tractor.
The biggest local fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census run only 6, 6 and 5 power units, so most sellers here are owner-operators or small outfits. One owner with the title in their own name keeps the paperwork short: a signed title, a photo ID and the keys at handover.
Local miles and where the trucks park
Drivers working within 100 miles number 81 in FMCSA’s carrier census for the town’s carriers, against 26 who go beyond that radius. The median among 13 reporting carriers in the same census is 11,667 miles per truck a year. A truck on loops this short usually sleeps at home or in a nearby yard each night, which is where we come for it.
Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you get in touch. Add the address where the truck is kept, and the rest of our questions follow from those three details.
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 42 trucks from local carriers inspected between September 2024 and July 2026, with a median model year of 2015.5 and 52.4% of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, we look at the same things: photos, the VIN and the paperwork.
If you have kept inspection reports from roadside stops or annual checks, include them with the photos. They show the truck’s working history in a way a picture cannot.
Construction crews and El Paso County ranches
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 3,361 jobs in Security-Widefield in 2023, with construction accounting for 397 of them, or 11.8%. Security-Widefield also has 50 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and equipment haulers serving those crews are the kinds of trucks we collect from job sites and contractor yards.
Across El Paso County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,207 farms, with cattle, equine and alpacas leading the list. A stock trailer rig or ranch truck parked out on county land can be collected where it stands; send directions to the gate along with the title and photos.
