Cement works to the north-west
Haul trucks around the Tijeras cement works
Tijeras Plant & Quarry, a cement plant the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 7.6 miles north-west of Ponderosa Pine, is the closest industrial site to these homes. Dump trucks, mixers and end-dump tractors that shuttle between a quarry face and a plant like that are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at a yard near the plant rather than at your house, give us that address instead.
Selling a quarry tractor from up here? Send a few clear photos of the cab, the frame rails, the bed or tank and the tires, with the VIN and the current odometer reading, and we will look the truck over before anyone heads out to the mountains.
From the east mountains down to Kirtland
Kirtland Air Force Base lies 8.3 miles west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations. If your box truck, flatbed or service body truck worked contracts on or around the base, it can be sold from wherever it sits now, whether that is a driveway off the highway or a lot on the Albuquerque side.
Tell us whether the truck is behind a gate or needs an escort to reach. A pickup on a secured property goes more smoothly when we know who opens the gate and what identification the driver should carry.
West-side tank farms
Fuel and asphalt tractors bound for the valley floor
Two petroleum product terminals appear on the Energy Information Administration’s list west of Ponderosa Pine: ALBUQUERQUE NM at 17.9 miles and ALBUQUERQUE PRODTS TRMNL at 18.2 miles. Holly Asphalt, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal, is a little farther out at 19.9 miles to the north-west.
Fuel and asphalt tractors from runs like those come to us with tank trailers or without them. Let us know which you are selling, and keep any tank inspection certificates with the truck’s papers so they travel together on collection day.
Rail on the valley floor
Container and rail-yard tractors near Abajo
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the ALBUQUERQUE-ABAJO rail yard sits roughly 18.7 miles west of town. The Albuquerque intermodal ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 18.5 miles away, is right beside it.
Day cabs that drayed containers between that ramp and warehouses across the valley are a good fit for us. If the tractor still has a chassis or yard equipment attached, describe it, and say whether the trailer is yours to sell or belongs to someone else.
Contractor trucks and ranch haulers in the east mountains
Around Ponderosa Pine, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns shows 35 construction establishments at work. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies from building and site work are all on our list, and a contractor selling one can have it collected from a job site as easily as from a home.
Across Bernalillo County, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 964 farms, with milk, cattle and equine at the top of the sales list. Livestock haulers, feed trucks and dairy tankers from those operations qualify, and a ranch gate with clear directions is all the address we need.

Zero-emission and engine exhaust rules on the New Mexico books

An owner in Ponderosa Pine selling a truck that already works these roads should mention its engine model year when getting in touch. Add the make, the model and where in the east mountains it is parked.
