Keeler Farm’s trucks and the Deming rail yard
Drive south from Keeler Farm and the Deming rail yard comes up after about 3.1 miles, a distance taken from the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor or straight truck that shuttles freight to and from that yard can be collected wherever it is parked, whether that is a lot near the tracks or a driveway back in Keeler Farm.
If your truck has hauled loads off the Deming yard, tell us the trailer type it pulled and send the VIN with a few clear photos of the cab, both sides and the fifth wheel. Those details let our first questions be about the truck itself, before anyone heads down to see it.
Crushers and screens
Aggregate hauling on the south side of town
Khani K100/Metso Crusher & Screen, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits roughly 4.1 miles south of Keeler Farm. End dumps, tandem dumps and belly dumps that carry crushed rock away from a plant like that are trucks we purchase, from single units to full combinations.
Keep any site log, scale tickets or inspection sheets from the crusher with the title. Those papers show where the truck has worked, and placing them in the cab means they go with the truck on the day it is collected.
Desert Valley
Gravel runs a little further toward Deming
Further along the same southern direction, Desert Valley Inc runs another sand and gravel operation, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 8.5 miles out of Keeler Farm. With two aggregate sites under nine miles apart on that line, one owner-operator may have hauled from both.
Let us know which of the two pits the truck served last and the gate or access road it uses. A driver sent to a gravel yard needs to know whether a rollback or lowboy can get in, so a line about the ground and the entrance saves a second trip.
Dairy and ranch trucks on Luna County ground
Around Keeler Farm, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 213 farms in Luna County, with milk, cattle and cotton at the top of the county’s list. Milk tankers, cattle pots, module trucks and flatbeds that move hay or feed between those operations are all trucks we look at.
A dairy or ranch truck often stays in a barn, a feed yard or a field rather than on pavement. Write down the ranch road, any locked gate and whether a heavy carrier can reach the truck, and we will arrange the pickup around that access.
Keeler Farm owners and a lost title near Deming
Titles in this state come from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division through its MVD field offices, and the closest to Keeler Farm is NM MVD Field Office - Deming, at 700 E. Spruce St., Deming, 88030, about 3.4 miles away according to the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division. An owner whose truck title has gone missing can request the replacement at that Spruce Street office.
Begin that request before collection is scheduled if you can, and gather the registration, a photo ID and any lien release in one envelope. When the title carries your name and no lienholder, the transfer on your side is short paperwork.
Zero-emission and engine rules on Keeler Farm tractors
In the New Mexico Register, the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, a zero-emission requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, appears as in force, as does the Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule setting exhaust standards for heavy-duty engines. Both apply to new trucks and engines, and a court challenge against the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board over them has since been decided by the state Court of Appeals.
Keeler Farm owners selling an older tractor or dump truck can simply note its model year and engine on the first message. That detail tells us which standards the engine was built to without any guesswork on either side.
