Sell your semi truck for cash in Thunder Mountain the easy and convenient way

Downhill from Thunder Mountain, 9.8 miles to the west, the Tijeras Plant & Quarry turns out cement under a Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. Mixers, bulk cement trailers and dump trucks that have hauled out of a plant like that are trucks we buy, and a short note on which sites yours served helps us understand the truck before we see it.

If your truck is parked in a yard near Tijeras rather than at your house on the mountain, tell us that address instead. We collect from the place the truck sits, so send a gate code or a contact at the yard along with the VIN and a set of photos of the cab, the chassis plate and the drum or bed.

Out to the north-west, about 22.4 miles from town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records a sand and gravel operation at Placitas. End dumps, belly dumps and tandem dump trucks that run aggregate along that route fit what we purchase, whether you own one unit or several.

Owners who rotate trucks between the Tijeras cement site and the Placitas pit can list each one separately when they contact us. Give the VIN, the registration state and the name on the title for every truck, and say which of them stays near Placitas so we can plan a collection at each spot.

Holly Asphalt, a liquid bulk terminal about 23.2 miles west of Thunder Mountain, appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Energy Information Administration records add two petroleum product terminals at Albuquerque, one 23.1 miles out and one 24.1 miles out, both due west.

Fuel tankers, asphalt tankers and the tractors that pull them between those terminals are part of what we take on. Keep any tank test certificates or terminal paperwork with the truck’s file; send copies along with photos of the tank, the cab and the VIN plate so the record and the truck arrive together.

A tractor still parked at a terminal lot in Albuquerque does not need to come back up the mountain first. Tell us the lot, whose permission covers the gate, and the hours someone can let a driver in.

According to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Albuquerque-Abajo rail yard lies about 24.3 miles west of Thunder Mountain. Day cabs and flatbed tractors that have moved freight to and from a rail yard like Abajo are trucks a seller here can bring to us.

Kirtland Air Force Base, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 16.3 miles west, sits on the same side of the mountain. If your truck has done contract hauling onto the base, say so; any access passes stay with you, and we only need the title, the registration and the keys at collection.

Titles here are issued by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, and its MVD field office at Moriarty, 109 Tulane Avenue, Moriarty 87035, is about 11.9 miles from Thunder Mountain. A seller who cannot find the title can apply for a replacement at that office before the sale.

A trip down to Tulane Avenue goes faster with the VIN, the registration card and photo ID already in your folder. If a lender still holds a lien on the truck, ask the lender for a release letter at the same time, and send us a photo of the title or the replacement once it is in hand.

Thunder Mountain’s ranch neighbours are counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which lists 591 farms in Santa Fe County and names cattle, corn and goats as the top products there. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds that serve those operations are trucks we purchase.

Farm trucks are often kept out in a pasture or behind a barn rather than in a yard. Send a pin or directions to where yours stands, note whether a gate needs opening, and include photos of the cab, the bed and the VIN plate.

New Mexico has adopted Advanced Clean Trucks, a medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle requirement; that rule is in force. Alongside it, the state’s Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule sets exhaust emission standards for heavy-duty engines, and it is in force as well.

A truck owner on the mountain can read both rules before deciding when to sell. We buy trucks built under either standard, so include the engine family label and model year from the door jamb with your photos.

• My dump truck is parked near the Tijeras quarry, not at home. Will a driver come to that yard for it?The Tijeras Plant & Quarry is about 9.8 miles west of Thunder Mountain on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from where the truck is parked. Pass along the quarry-side yard’s address and whoever holds its gate key.
• Which MVD office near Thunder Mountain reissues a lost truck title?The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division runs an MVD field office at 109 Tulane Avenue in Moriarty, about 11.9 miles from town. Bring the VIN, registration and photo ID to apply for a replacement there.
• I run a cattle trailer on a ranch in Santa Fe County. Is a ranch livestock hauler something you take?Cattle lead the products listed for Santa Fe County’s 591 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the tractors and trucks that haul them are ones we purchase. A few ranch-side photos and the VIN get the conversation going.
