Bulverde’s quarries, gravel pits and cement kilns
Closest to town is Smithson Valley Quarry, whose sand and gravel pit the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 3.8 miles south-east of Bulverde’s center. A tandem dump or a belly-dump tractor that has shuttled aggregate out of Smithson Valley can be collected right at the pit or at your yard; give us the gate address and the name of whoever can let us in.
Heading south, San Pedro Quarry sits 10.8 miles out and the 1604 Quarry & Plant cement operation 11.9 miles out, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your mixer or pneumatic tanker worked the run between those sites and Bulverde, photograph the drum or tank, the cab and the VIN plate, and note which plant it loaded at.
Further afield, Barrett Base Plt is a crushed-stone quarry 11.2 miles south-east and Solms Operation a gravel pit 15.5 miles the same way, while Capitol Cement Plant & Quarry lies 15.8 miles south, each named by MSHA. Owners hauling between several of these pits can list every truck in one message, with the title for each, and we will plan one trip around all of them.
Dimension stone and a military base nearby
ROX, Inc., a dimension-stone quarry 14.4 miles north-east of town, appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Flatbeds hauling cut stone blocks carry heavy point loads, so if yours worked out of ROX, send a photo of the deck and list the tie-downs and any tarps that come with it.
Joint Base San Antonio lies 13.4 miles south-west, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Box trucks and straight trucks that made deliveries onto the base still sell the normal way: a clear Texas title, the registration and a set of daylight photos are enough to begin.
What Bulverde’s local carriers haul
Hill Country dry-van work is common here: FMCSA’s carrier census has 52 Bulverde outfits, out of 93 active, naming general freight as a cargo. If your tractor pulled dry vans or mixed loads out of the Hill Country, the VIN, the title in your name and an odometer photo are the three things to send first.
Thirty-three local outfits haul machinery and large objects, 14 carry logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 13 move metal sheets, coils and rolls, according to the same federal census. Tell us whether a lowboy, a lumber trailer or a coil rack goes with the tractor Trailer and power unit can be sold together or apart.
Of the 93, only 20 operate interstate while 73 stay inside Texas, and 38 are private fleets moving their own goods, FMCSA reports. A contractor’s private dump or flatbed fleet in Bulverde can be sold one unit at a time or all at once; just keep the Texas registration paperwork with each title.
Bulverde’s newest carriers and its biggest fleets
Twelve Bulverde carriers registered with FMCSA in 2025, up from three in 2024, by the agency’s carrier census. If you are one of those newer owner-operators and want out of a single truck, a title in your own name plus the current insurance card settles most of what we need.
The three largest fleets in town run 36 power units with 24 drivers, 32 units with 39 drivers, and 25 units with 25 drivers, per FMCSA’s census. Managers thinning a fleet that size can hand us a spreadsheet of VINs and yard locations, and pickups get scheduled truck by truck.
Across 22 Bulverde carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, a typical truck logs a median of 29,530 miles a year. FMCSA filings split drivers here between 137 working within 100 miles and 127 going beyond that radius. Tell us whether your truck is parked at home or out on a long run when you reach us.
How old the Bulverde trucks inspectors stop are
Roadside inspectors checked 91 Bulverde-based trucks between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2015 for that group. Whatever year yours is, put the model year and engine make in your first message, since those two details shape every question that follows.
Of the 91 Bulverde trucks pulled over, 58.2 percent carried a model year at least a decade back, the FMCSA inspection file shows. If yours falls in that share, a copy of its last annual inspection report and any service invoices you kept give us a fuller picture alongside the photos.
Construction jobs, ranches and Comal County farms
Construction accounts for 297 of the 2,884 jobs located in Bulverde in 2023, or 10.3 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with manufacturing adding 70. Sixty-nine construction businesses operate in and around Bulverde under the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. Contractors selling a water truck, a dump or a flatbed off a finished job site can tell us which site the truck sits on and we will meet it there.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 888 farms in Comal County, with goats, horses and sheep the leading livestock. A livestock hauler or ranch flatbed parked out on a property near Bulverde can stay right where it is; send directions to the gate and say whether a trailer is part of the sale.
The questions we get asked in Bulverde
- Will you collect a dump truck from a quarry outside Bulverde?Smithson Valley Quarry is 3.8 miles south-east and San Pedro Quarry 10.8 miles south, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from pits like these as readily as from a driveway. Pass along the pit’s address and the name of the foreman who can let our driver through.
- What if the title for my Bulverde truck has gone missing?A Bulverde owner without the title needs a replacement issued by the state’s title agency before the sale can close. Start that request, then send us the VIN and photos in the meantime so everything else is ready.
- Will you take several trucks off a Comal County fleet at once?Bulverde’s 93 active carriers in FMCSA’s census include 38 private fleets, and we buy from fleets of any size here. List each unit’s VIN, where it is parked and whether its title is in the company’s name.
- What should I send before you come out?Bulverde owners should send the VIN, the title, the Texas registration and photos of the cab, frame and any trailer. Service records and the last inspection report help too, if you have them.
