Sell your semi truck for cash in Paradise Hills the easy and convenient way

Paradise Hills is a Bernalillo County community north-west of Albuquerque’s rail and terminal district. Federal records from MSHA, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Energy Information Administration place a portable crushed-stone operation, two gravel pits, an asphalt terminal, two petroleum terminals and the Abajo rail yard within ten and a half miles of its streets.

Selling a truck in Paradise Hills? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Stone east of the mesa

Salls Portable Quarry Equip. and the aggregate trucks around it

Only 2.2 miles east of Paradise Hills, the Mine Safety and Health Administration registers Salls Portable Quarry Equip. as a crushed-stone quarry. Tandem dumps, end dumps and lowboys that moved its crushing gear or its stone are trucks we buy, and a Paradise Hills owner can sell one without first driving it off the mesa.

Because that operation is listed as portable, a truck tied to it may be sitting at a different site from week to week. Tell us where it is standing today, who holds the gate key, and whether the title is in your name or a company’s, and the collection gets planned around that spot.

Gravel pits north and south

Wright Pit to the south, Placitas to the north-east

MSHA records show Wright Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 10.3 miles south of Paradise Hills, and a second sand and gravel site at Placitas 10.4 miles to the north-east. Those two pits sit on opposite sides of town at almost the same distance, so a gravel hauler living here could have worked either one.

Photograph the bed, the tailgate, the hoist and the VIN plate in daylight, and add a shot of the dash with the odometer showing. With the registration and any service records alongside, those pictures answer most of what we would otherwise ask about a pit truck.

Hot asphalt, diesel, gasoline

Tankers loading at Holly Asphalt and the Albuquerque fuel racks

Holly Asphalt appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 6.1 miles south-east of Paradise Hills. A tractor that pulled hot asphalt tanks out of there for paving jobs across the west side belongs on our list, and so does the tanker trailer if you want both gone at once.

Two Albuquerque petroleum product terminals lie 6.2 and 8.4 miles to the south-east, the Energy Information Administration shows. If your truck hauled fuel from them, gather the tank inspection certificates and the hazmat placard history in one envelope; those papers are the first thing we read in a fuel truck’s file.

Rail down the valley

Day cabs that served the Abajo yard

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, maps two segments of the ALBUQUERQUE-ABAJO rail yard 9.6 and 9.9 miles south of Paradise Hills. Short-haul tractors that shuttled freight down to that yard are a fit for us.

Tell us whether a yard tractor is parked at the rail yard or at your home in Paradise Hills. Either location works; we just need the street address, a phone number for whoever is on site, and a note on whether a lender is listed on the title.

Local work and farms

A small job base and a county full of farms

With 594 jobs located in Paradise Hills during 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, most trucks here belong to owner-operators or small outfits, and we deal directly with the person whose name is on the title.

Across Bernalillo County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 964 farms, with milk, cattle and equine leading their products. Milk tankers, livestock trucks and the pickups and tractors that pull horse trailers can all be sold from the ranch or barn where they are kept.

New Mexico engine rules

The state’s heavy-duty truck standards

Under the New Mexico Administrative Code, the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks requirement and its Heavy-Duty Omnibus exhaust standard for heavy-duty engines are both in force. We buy trucks of every model year in Paradise Hills regardless of which engine they carry.

A clear photo of the emissions label on the engine, next to the VIN and the registration card, lets us confirm the engine certification without another phone call. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement, and you can start the sale while that request is in.
