Quarries north and west of Converse
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the 1604 Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 6.6 miles north-west of Converse, and Lion Cave Materials Briggs Pit 7.4 miles to the north. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls aggregate from either pit can stay parked at the yard it works from; give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the keys.
Capitol Cement Plant & Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 7.3 miles west, adds bulk cement to the mix of loads leaving the area. Pneumatic tanker tractors and the day cabs that pull them are on our list, so send the VIN, a photo of the door plate and the title holder’s name when you first get in touch.
Commodities dry bulk is the hauling class for 53 Converse-based motor carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, which fits the stone and cement freight around these pits. If yours is one of them, gather the registration and any annual inspection reports before the pickup so the paperwork travels with the truck.
Kirby yard, the TOFC ramp and two fuel terminals
Kirby rail yard lies 5.8 miles south-west and San Antonio TOFC 6.6 miles west, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle trailers on and off those ramps can be collected right from the drop lot, as long as you tell us who controls access.
Two petroleum product terminals, San Antonio Blending Terminal at 7.2 miles and San Antonio East at 7.3 miles, both to the south-west, appear in Energy Information Administration listings. For a tractor that pulled fuel tankers from either one, have the title, cab registration and any tank or hazmat inspection paperwork in one folder for us.
Close by is NG Martindale - AASF, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 7.2 miles south-west of town. If the truck is parked near the base, check that the spot is reachable by a tow rig without a pass before we schedule the collection.
General freight, machinery and coil haulers in Converse
Of the 418 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Converse, 318 haul general freight, 55 move machinery and large objects, and 50 carry metal sheets, coils and rolls. Flatbeds, lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them all fit what we take; photos of the deck and the cab, plus the VIN, are enough to start.
Intrastate work accounts for 301 of those carriers, interstate routes for 116, and 52 are private fleets, by FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck with Texas-only registration is no obstacle; just send a picture of the cab card along with the title.
New authorities keep appearing here: FMCSA’s census records 36 carriers started in 2024 and 46 in 2025. An owner-operator who bought a tractor recently and now wants out can sell to us with the title in hand or with the lender’s payoff letter if a loan remains.
Inspection model years and annual mileage around Converse
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 451 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026 show a median model year of 2017, with 43 percent of them ten or more years old. Send the VIN and an odometer photo, and note the model year shown on the Texas title.
Among 92 carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median comes out at 50,000 miles a truck. FMCSA’s carrier census also counts 596 Converse drivers working within a 100-mile radius and 519 going beyond it. Service records, if you kept them, help us understand how the truck was used.
Selling several trucks at once
The three biggest fleets based in Converse run 122, 56 and 55 power units, with 94, 31 and 39 drivers respectively, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Fleet managers retiring a group of units can send one list of VINs, unit numbers and yard locations, and we will plan the collection around it.
If those units sit at different addresses across Bexar County, mark each one on the list along with a contact for that lot. Titles held in a company name need a signature from an authorised officer, so line that person up before collection day.
