Petroleum terminals on the south-east edge
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the Albuquerque name, one 1.5 miles and one 2.1 miles south-east of South Valley. If your tractor pulled fuel loads out of either gate, tell us which trailer setup it ran with and whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.
Holly Asphalt, a liquid bulk terminal listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 8.9 miles north. A tractor that hauled hot asphalt from there to paving jobs is one we will look at; send photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, plus the VIN, and we can start from those.
The Abajo yard and the intermodal ramp
Two rail yard entries named Albuquerque-Abajo sit 4 and 4.4 miles north-east in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle between that yard and warehouses on the valley floor can be collected from the yard lot or from your own place, whichever you tell us.
About 3.1 miles north-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Albuquerque rail intermodal ramp. If a container chassis tractor of yours is parked near the ramp, give us the street address and the name of whoever controls the gate so pickup goes through without a second trip.
Pits and builders
Gravel pits and a construction-heavy job base
Wright Pit, a sand and gravel operation 4 miles north-west, and Los Padillas Pit, an industrial-mineral mine 4.6 miles south-west, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that worked those pits can be picked up at the pit, at a yard or at your house; tell us which.
Builders and trades fill 2,371 of South Valley’s 9,216 jobs in 2023, a 25.7 percent slice, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Across those trades, 179 construction firms show up in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally for the area. If your truck carried materials or equipment for a contractor here, have the title and registration in hand before you call.
Manufacturing holds 597 local jobs and wholesale trade 509, with transportation and warehousing at 432, according to the same LEHD job counts. A box truck or straight truck from one of those businesses is welcome; a few clear photos of each side and the odometer reading are what we ask for first.
Mobile home toters and heavy haulers on the valley floor
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 12 active motor carriers based here: 11 intrastate, 1 interstate and 4 running private fleets. Three of them haul mobile homes, two carry general freight, two move machinery and large objects, and one does driveaway and towaway work. A toter or a heavy-haul tractor from any of those trades is a truck we can collect.
In that same FMCSA census, the biggest local fleet has 59 power units and 35 drivers, while the next two run a single power unit each. Whether you are selling one truck or several, list every VIN in your first message so we can plan the collection as one visit.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 41 drivers working within 100 miles and 7 beyond it. Most South Valley trucks are therefore likely to be parked close to home when you sell, and that is where we come to them.
Roadside model years on South Valley rigs
FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 160 trucks tied to South Valley, with a median model year of 2014.5 and 55 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, we will look at it.
Have the service history ready if you kept one, along with any inspection reports. Those papers, the title and the registration are the set that makes a sale here simple.
Dairy, cattle and horse operations
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 964 farms in Bernalillo County, with milk, cattle and equine at the top of the list. A farm truck, cattle hauler or flatbed that worked a dairy or a horse property can be sold from the farm itself.
Tell us whether the truck is titled to you or to the farm business. If the title is in a business name, have the paperwork showing who can sign for it ready when we arrange collection.
