Beckmann and Helotes quarries close by
Rock trucks leaving Beckmann Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 8.6 miles south-east of Scenic Oaks, pass close to town. A tandem dump or end-dump tractor hauling rock out of that pit counts among the trucks we buy, and it can stay at the yard or on your lot while we arrange collection. Send a photo of the bed and the cab, plus the VIN plate, and tell us the gate hours.
Helotes Quarry is 10.6 miles due south, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck splits its week between Helotes and Beckmann, name both sites when you write to us, so we know where to look for it on a given weekday. Keep the title in the name on the registration; if those two differ, say so up front.
Drums and gravel beds east of the hills
Two cement plants appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register to the east and south-east: Capitol Cement Plant & Quarry at 18.5 miles and the 1604 Quarry & Plant at 18.8 miles. Ready-mix drums and bulk pneumatic tankers that load at either one are welcome here. Give us the drum or tank make along with the chassis VIN, and include any service log you keep for the mixer itself.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Smithson Valley Quarry, a sand and gravel pit, 16.3 miles east. A gravel truck that shuttles between Smithson Valley and the cement plants can be collected at whichever end it is parked, as long as someone there can sign it out.
Builders and haulers who work in town
Construction filled 125 of the 802 Scenic Oaks jobs tallied for 2023, a 15.6 percent slice, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Contractors here run flatbeds, roll-offs and stake-bed trucks, and a builder winding down can sell one unit or the whole yard to us. List each truck with its VIN and attach photos of all four sides.
Transportation and warehousing held 96 of those positions, or 12 percent, in the 2023 LEHD release, and wholesale trade added 56 more at 7 percent. Box trucks and day cabs from delivery and distribution work fit what we purchase. Have the registration current and the title in hand before we schedule the pickup.
Tankers near the terminal and Joint Base San Antonio
A petroleum product terminal sits 19.1 miles south-east of town, per the Energy Information Administration. Fuel tankers and the tractors pulling them out of that terminal are trucks we take on; mention the tank’s capacity and any inspection certificates on file, since those papers travel with the trailer.
Joint Base San Antonio, 10.9 miles south-east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map, lies along the same south-east side of town as the terminal. If your rig parks near a base gate, tell us the nearest public access road for our driver.
Stock, horse and grain rigs on Bexar ranches
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture recorded 2,107 farms in Bexar County, with cattle, equine and corn at the top of the list. Stock trailers, horse haulers and grain trucks from those operations are part of what we collect, from a barn or a pasture gate as easily as a paved lot.
A truck kept on a ranch can be collected where it is parked. Bring the title, and give our pickup crew the ranch road and the gate where it stands.
Stone Source and the north-west hills
Stone Source, a dimension-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 19.8 miles north-west, cuts block rather than crushed rock. Flatbeds and boom trucks that move cut slabs from there qualify too; photograph the crane or boom and note its rated lift from the plate.
Whether the truck sits in Scenic Oaks or out at a Hill Country quarry, the steps stay the same. Send the VIN, the photos and the address, keep the title ready, and we arrange the collection where it stands.
