Mineral and aggregate sites
Haul trucks from the mine and the river pit up the Santa Fe road
Cerrito Pelado, an industrial-mineral mine that the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 11.9 miles north-west of Cañoncito, is the closest extraction site to the village. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from a site like that may be parked at the mine yard rather than at home; tell us which, and give us a gate contact so collection can be arranged on site.
Farther along the same heading, the Santa Fe River Pit is a sand and gravel operation 15.6 miles out, as listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Aggregate work keeps mixers, belly dumps and water trucks on the road around Santa Fe. If yours has spent its years on that haul, photograph the bed, the frame rails and the data plate on the door so the listing we discuss matches the truck we collect.
Both sites lie north-west, toward Santa Fe. Send us the exact address where the truck sits, whether that is a pit entrance or a driveway on the old highway, and we plan the pickup from that spot.
Contract runs west to the Guard’s Onate site
Fourteen miles west of Cañoncito, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NG Santa Fe - Onate Complex TS as a military installation. Flatbeds, box trucks and utility bodies that have worked contract runs to a site like that are trucks we buy.
Access to a guarded site is the detail to sort first. If the truck is parked inside a fenced compound, tell us so up front and name the person who can let a driver in; we will not show up unannounced at a gate.
Keep any loading or delivery logs from that work with the title. They are not required, but they let us describe the truck’s service accurately when we write it up.
Stock haulers and hay flatbeds off the Cañoncito ranches
Ranching sets much of the pace outside the village: 591 farms operate countywide according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and goats as the leading products. Stock trucks, feed haulers and flatbeds with hay racks are the vehicles that kind of work keeps around.
A ranch truck often lives at the end of a dirt lane or behind a barn, so tell us about the ground it sits on and whether a tow rig can turn around there. Pin the location on a map if the address alone will not get a driver to it.
If the title is in a ranch or family partnership name rather than yours, have whoever signs for that entity ready to sign the transfer.
Titles in this state are handled by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, and its nearest office to Cañoncito is NM MVD Field Office - Pecos at 92 S Main Street, Pecos, 87552, 9.3 miles away. A Cañoncito owner whose title has vanished asks that Pecos counter for the duplicate.
Bring your registration and photo identification when you go, and the VIN written down exactly as it appears on the truck. Get the duplicate started before we put a collection date on the calendar, and tell us once it arrives.
If a lender still shows on the title, ask them for a lien release at the same time. With the release and the duplicate together, the paperwork is complete on the day we load the truck.
Zero-emission sales and Omnibus engine standards in force statewide
New Mexico has adopted Advanced Clean Trucks, a zero-emission vehicle requirement for medium- and heavy-duty sales, and the rule is in force according to the state’s administrative code. The Heavy-Duty Omnibus, which sets exhaust emission standards for heavy-duty engines, is also in force there.
A used diesel parked in Cañoncito can still be sold to us as it is. Note the engine make and model year from the emissions label under the hood and include a photo of it with your other pictures.
Photos, VIN and a pin on the map from the village
Start with the VIN, the odometer reading and a handful of clear photos: the cab, both sides, the frame, the tires and any body or equipment mounted behind the cab. Add the address on the Pecos side or the Santa Fe side of town where the truck is kept.
Tell us what the truck did, whether pit hauling, ranch work or contract runs west toward the Guard complex, and which papers you hold, and a driver will be booked for the spot you name.
The questions we get asked in Cañoncito
- Will you collect a truck parked at a pit north-west of Cañoncito?Cerrito Pelado and the Santa Fe River Pit are 11.9 and 15.6 miles out according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like those. Name the pit and who holds the key to its gate.
- If my truck’s title is lost, is the closest MVD counter in Pecos or Santa Fe?NM MVD Field Office - Pecos, at 92 S Main Street in Pecos, is 9.3 miles from the village and handles titles for the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division. Request the duplicate there before collection is booked.
- Do you buy stock trucks and feed haulers from ranches here?Cattle and goats lead the county’s 591 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the trucks that serve that ranch work are ones we buy. Mention which pasture or barn the truck is parked beside.
- Can a Cañoncito diesel still be sold now that New Mexico’s zero-emission sales rule is in force?Advanced Clean Trucks is in force in New Mexico as a zero-emission requirement for medium- and heavy-duty sales, and your used diesel can still come to us as it stands. Send a photo of the engine emissions label.
