Gravel and stone trucks north of town at Vado
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Vado Quarry and Vado Pit, both sand and gravel operations, 8.8 miles north of Anthony. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at those pits is often left parked at the operator’s yard rather than at home, so tell us which gate it sits behind and who holds the key.
A crushed-stone quarry also named Vado Quarry sits 10.7 miles north, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Whether your truck works the stone face or the gravel pit, one set of photos of the bed, the frame and the cab will do; send the VIN with them so we can match the truck to its title.
Santa Teresa
Container work at the Santa Teresa ramp
South-west of Anthony, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Santa Teresa Intermodal yard 11.6 miles out. Day cabs that shuttle boxes off that yard are welcome here, and a tractor parked near the ramp can be collected right where it stands once you give us the address.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics separately lists a rail intermodal ramp at Santa Teresa, 11.8 miles away. For a tractor that has pulled chassis from there, have the registration and the title in the same name before you call; if the names differ, say so at the start and we will sort out which signature the sale needs.
Interstate, intrastate and private fleets on the state line
On the New Mexico side of the line, 119 active motor carriers call Anthony home in FMCSA’s carrier census. In FMCSA’s census, 74 of those run interstate and 43 stay within New Mexico, while 36 are marked as private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group you belong to, keep your USDOT number handy alongside the registration.
Fleet sizes in the town vary widely: per FMCSA’s carrier census, one operator lists 99 power units and 97 drivers, another 35 of each, and a third 30 power units with 16 drivers. If you are selling several units at once, send a list of VINs and where each truck is parked, and we will plan collection around the yard rather than one truck at a time.
New registrations keep arriving, too; 8 carriers joined the FMCSA census here in 2024 and 7 more in 2025. A newer operator selling a first truck needs the same things as a long-standing one: the title, current registration and a few clear photos.
Hay, produce and general freight
General freight is the cargo most Anthony carriers list, with 71 of them naming it in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 41 haul grain, feed or hay. Box trucks, van tractors and flatbeds used for that work are all on our list; tell us the body type and the length so we arrive with the right equipment.
Fresh produce is carried by 24 local carriers and machinery or large objects by 18, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A reefer unit or a lowboy combination should come with any service records you have for the refrigeration unit or the trailer, along with the title for each piece being sold.
Dairies, cotton and cattle across Doña Ana County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,990 farms in Doña Ana County, where milk, cotton and cattle lead the farm products. A grain truck, cattle hauler or feed truck that has spent years on a farm road is often titled to the farm itself, so check whose name is on the paper before we schedule a visit.
Farm trucks tend to be parked in a barn lot or at the edge of a field rather than in town. Give us directions that a driver unfamiliar with the county roads can follow, plus a phone number for whoever will be on the property when we arrive.
For the 40 Anthony carriers whose mileage appears in FMCSA’s carrier census, a truck’s median year comes to 16,764 miles. That figure is a neutral reading of how the work is spread out, and the odometer reading is one of the first things we ask for, together with the VIN.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 231 Anthony drivers working within 100 miles and 164 going further. A truck on long hauls may be parked in another state when you decide to sell, and it does not have to come back to Doña Ana County; we collect it wherever it is.
New Mexico’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule, part of the state’s Administrative Code, is in force. It sets zero-emission requirements, reporting and compliance for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the state.
Alongside it, the Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule sets exhaust emission standards for heavy-duty engines and is also in force, per the New Mexico Administrative Code. Neither rule stops you selling a truck you already own, and the title and registration are still the papers that matter for the sale.
