Gravel, aggregate and mineral hauling around Santa Fe
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cerrito Pelado, an industrial-mineral mine, just 3 miles north-east of Santa Fe. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that works that site is likely parked close to the plaza side of town, so give us the yard address and a gate contact and we arrange collection there.
West of the city, Santa Fe River Pit sits 5.9 miles out and Pena Blanca 19.9 miles out, both sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck hauls aggregate from either one, photograph the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, and have the title and New Mexico registration ready before we talk.
Asphalt and fuel
Rosario Asphalt and the road west toward Pena Blanca
Rosario Asphalt, a petroleum product terminal, lies 19.5 miles west of Santa Fe according to the Energy Information Administration. Tankers and distributor trucks that load there often stay out at a contractor’s yard rather than in town; tell us exactly where it stands and we come to it.
Asphalt rigs tend to carry plenty of paperwork, and it helps to send it. Pull together service records, any annual inspection sheets and the registration, then email them with photos of the tank and pump so we see the whole unit before pickup.
General freight, machinery and refuse haulers in Santa Fe
Of the 439 active carriers based in Santa Fe on FMCSA’s carrier census, 191 haul general freight and 57 move machinery and large objects. Box trucks, flatbeds and lowboys from those two groups are what we expect to see from local owners, and the VIN plus the registration card answers most of our first questions.
Refuse work is common too: FMCSA’s carrier census records 39 Santa Fe carriers hauling garbage, refuse and trash, alongside 22 that carry logs, poles, beams and lumber. For a roll-off, rear loader or log truck, send pictures of the body and boom along with the cab so we know exactly what equipment is attached.
Intrastate work and private fleets in Santa Fe County
Most Santa Fe operators stay inside New Mexico: the FMCSA carrier census shows 367 intrastate carriers against 70 interstate ones, plus 200 private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never left the state should have a clean New Mexico title trail, so check the name on the title matches yours before you call.
Drivers split between short and long routes here, with 1,041 working within 100 miles and 676 beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Among the 76 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 16,578 miles a year on FMCSA’s carrier census; have the current odometer reading handy when you contact us.
Fleet sizes on FMCSA’s census range up to one operator with 126 power units and 146 drivers, and two more running 22 power units each. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard like that, list every VIN in a single message and we plan one collection.
Inspection-lane model years for Santa Fe tractors
FMCSA roadside inspection records between September 2024 and August 2026 covered 174 Santa Fe trucks, with a median model year of 2017.5. Model year sits on the title and the door sticker, so include a photo of that sticker with your other pictures.
In that same inspection window, about 41 percent of the trucks checked were ten or more model years old, according to FMCSA roadside inspection records. We buy across every model year, so the only thing to prepare is the title, the registration and clear photos.
Construction, warehousing and ranching in Santa Fe County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,220 Santa Fe jobs in construction in 2023, out of 51,952 in all, and County Business Patterns lists 380 construction establishments in the county. Dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds from building sites are often parked on the job itself, and we can collect from a site as long as someone can let us in.
Transportation and warehousing held 907 jobs and wholesale trade 847 in 2023, on the LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. If your delivery truck sits behind a warehouse or shop, tell us the business address and its hours.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 591 farms in Santa Fe County, led by cattle, corn and goats. Livestock haulers and farm trucks parked out on a ranch are fine to sell where they are; send directions and the title holder’s name.
