Stone and cement
Quarry and cement trucks on the north side
Huebner Road Quarry, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits about 7 miles north-west of downtown San Antonio. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load there can be collected straight from the quarry gate or a yard nearby; give us the gate contact and the hours the site is open.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Capitol Cement Plant & Quarry roughly 8.5 miles north-east of the city. Bulk tankers and mixers tied to that plant usually keep scale tickets and plant safety sign-offs, so set those beside the title before you call.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau put 2,564 construction establishments in Bexar County. If your mixer, dump truck or flatbed came off one of those jobs, tell us the site address where it sits today and send photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate.
Fuel terminals and the San Fernando and East yards
According to the Energy Information Administration, the Flint Hills Resources petroleum product terminal is half a mile south-west of the city centre, and a second San Antonio terminal stands 5.5 miles east. Tank tractors that load at either site often carry hazmat endorsement records and tank test sheets; keep those with the registration when we arrange pickup.
Two rail yards appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: San Fernando, 3 miles south-east, and East, 4.1 miles south-east. A day cab that shuttles trailers off those yards can stay parked where it works; we come to it, so just name the lot and who holds the keys.
Bexar County’s registered carriers
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 7,236 active carriers based in San Antonio, with 4,757 of them listing general freight. Box trucks, dry-van tractors and sleepers make up that kind of fleet; have the title, the current Texas registration and any service log ready for whichever one you are selling.
Within those registrations, 803 carriers report machinery and large objects, 715 report metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 685 report dry bulk commodities, again per FMCSA’s carrier census. Lowboys, flatbed tractors and pneumatic tank units are all trucks we buy, and a photo of the fifth wheel and the deck helps us match what you describe.
Of those carriers, the federal census counts 5,566 as intrastate, 1,646 as interstate and 1,509 as private fleets. A private fleet selling a unit it ran for its own goods should send the company title and the name of whoever signs for the business.
What San Antonio inspections show about fleet ages
FMCSA roadside inspection records covering August 2024 to August 2026 logged 7,371 San Antonio trucks, with a median model year of 2018 and 37.95% at ten or more years old. Whatever year your tractor is, start with the VIN and the odometer reading.
Across 1,502 carriers that report mileage, FMCSA puts the median at 36,082 miles a truck per year. Send the odometer figure with your photos, along with the engine make, so the questions we ask back are short ones.
Getting to the truck
Bridges and clearance around town
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration lists 1,720 bridges in and around San Antonio, 22 of them load-posted and 4 under fourteen feet. If your truck sits beyond one of those, mention it, so the collection route is planned before anyone sets out.
Cassiano Street over Nogalitos Street carries the lowest clearance in the National Bridge Inventory at 13ft 6in. For a tall reefer or a sleeper parked south of downtown, an exact address and a gate photo let us plan an approach that avoids that crossing.
Jobs and land
Warehousing, base traffic and county farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 30,624 transportation and warehousing jobs and 29,991 wholesale trade jobs in San Antonio. Straight trucks and tractors working the distribution side can be picked up from a dock or a staff lot; tell us which, and whether a dock pass is needed.
Joint Base San Antonio sits 9.5 miles north and NG Martindale 9 miles east, as listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Contractor trucks parked near either base can be collected off-site, so give us an address outside the gate.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,107 farms in Bexar County, led by cattle, horses and corn. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm-plated tractors parked at a ranch are collected there; a pin and a note about the gate is enough to begin.
The questions we get asked in San Antonio
- My dump truck is parked at a quarry north-west of San Antonio. Does it need to come into town?The dump truck can stay at the Huebner Road pit. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Huebner Road Quarry about 7 miles north-west of the city, and we collect from there or any yard you name; tell us who can open the gate.
- My trailer route crosses the low bridge on Cassiano Street. Will that block the pickup?The National Bridge Inventory records 13ft 6in at Cassiano Street over Nogalitos Street, so tell us where the truck is parked and we route the collection around that crossing.
- We run a private fleet in Bexar County. What paperwork does a business sale need?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 1,509 private fleets in San Antonio; for any of them, send the title in the business’s name, the Texas registration and the name of the person authorised to sign.
