Fuel and asphalt
Tankers around the Albuquerque fuel terminals
The Energy Information Administration places one Albuquerque petroleum product terminal 1.4 miles south of the city centre and a second 1.9 miles to the north-east. If your tractor loads at either rack, give us the yard address and a gate contact and we collect it from there.
Holly Asphalt, a liquid bulk terminal 1.9 miles north-east of Albuquerque according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits beside that north-east rack. If your truck pulled asphalt or fuel trailers between these sites, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and have the title for each unit in hand before we schedule a pickup.
Abajo yard and the intermodal ramp
Two entries for the Albuquerque-Abajo rail yard, 2.7 and 3 miles south, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads off that yard often stay parked near it between runs; send us photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel from wherever it sits.
Four miles south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Albuquerque rail intermodal ramp where containers come off the train. For a tractor that has worked that ramp, the VIN and the current registration are the first two things we ask for, and every later question builds on them.
Sand, gravel and crushed stone
Wright Pit, a sand and gravel operation 6 miles south-west of town, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, as is Salls Portable Quarry Equip., a crushed-stone quarry 6.3 miles north. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from sites like these can be sold where they stand; tell us whether the truck is inside a pit gate so we can arrange access with the operator.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 1,047 construction establishments in the county, and the LEHD job counts put construction at 17,417 jobs in 2023, or 5.7 percent of the 303,527 total. If your dump or mixer works for a contractor here, keep the service records and any inspection reports together with the title so the truck’s history comes with it.
Albuquerque carriers by cargo and reach
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 2,128 active carriers based in Albuquerque, with 1,219 of them listing general freight, 318 machinery and large objects, 233 motor vehicles and 219 logs, poles, beams and lumber. Whether yours is a box truck, a lowboy tractor, a car hauler or a log truck, tell us the body type up front so the photos you send cover the right equipment.
In that same FMCSA census, 1,439 local carriers operate intrastate, 683 interstate, and 870 run private fleets. A New Mexico registration is what we check first for an intrastate truck; an interstate unit should also come with its apportioned plate paperwork.
The biggest fleet registered here, per FMCSA records, runs 439 power units with 145 drivers, and the next two list 118 and 109 power units. If you are selling several trucks from a fleet of any size, send a list of VINs together and we can plan one collection for the lot.
Model years and annual miles in Bernalillo County
FMCSA roadside inspection records for 542 Albuquerque-area trucks checked from August 2024 to August 2026 show a median model year of 2020 and 31.37 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the year on your title, have the registration and the odometer reading ready when you contact us.
Among 578 Albuquerque carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 20,413 miles per truck. The carrier census also counts 7,079 drivers working within 100 miles and 4,631 beyond it, so a local truck may be at a jobsite in the county or out of state when you decide to sell; tell us where it is today.
Rules
Clean truck rules and new carriers
The New Mexico Register shows the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule and its Heavy-Duty Omnibus engine standards both in force. If those rules affect your plans for a diesel tractor, the title and registration are still all we need to start.
New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s carrier census lists 145 new Albuquerque carriers in 2024 and 174 in 2025. A newer outfit selling its first truck needs the same things as an older one: a clear title in the company’s name, the registration and photos of every side.
