The Center Point, Texas-based trucking company brings to Armour a robust portfolio of long-term customer relationships, a strong reputation in the local hauling industry, and a dedicated team of experienced professionals. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in Armour’s growth trajectory and strengthens its ability to serve a broader customer base across Kerr County and the surrounding areas.
Deepening Service Capabilities Through Strategic Synergies
Founded with a commitment to quality, safety, and service, Armour Excavating has built a strong reputation in the construction and materials supply sectors, offering dependable excavation solutions and a wide range of aggregate products. The acquisition of Buck Valley Trucking further enhances Armour’s capabilities by integrating a company known for its reliable hauling services, customer-centric approach, and long-standing partnerships with contractors and businesses throughout the Texas Hill Country.
“Buck Valley Trucking cultivated a number of long-term customer relationships in hauling sectors that add to the depth of Armour’s services,” said Stephen Day, owner of Armour Excavating LLC. “We are excited to welcome Buck Valley’s loyal customers and employees into the Armour family. Our goal is to make this a seamless transition, maintaining the high standard of service they have come to expect while offering access to expanded resources and service offerings.”
The acquisition allows Armour to serve a more diverse set of clients by increasing its delivery reach, broadening its equipment fleet, and enhancing its logistics capabilities. Buck Valley’s existing contracts and customer base provide Armour with immediate growth opportunities in the transportation of construction aggregates, fill material, and other bulk goods critical to infrastructure development across the region.
Welcoming the Buck Valley Team
A key element of the acquisition is the integration of Buck Valley Trucking’s experienced team of drivers, dispatchers, and administrative personnel into Armour’s growing workforce. By welcoming these professionals into the Armour team, the company ensures continuity in customer relationships and retains valuable institutional knowledge.
“Armour is an excellent home for the Buck Valley team, customers, and suppliers,” said Eric Roehl, owner of Buck Valley Trucking. “Armour places a high value on customer service and safety and operates one of the newest truck fleets in Kerrville, Texas. Stephen and I have known each other for several years and worked together well. I have complete confidence that this transition will go smoothly, and I am excited to see the Buck Valley legacy continue under Armour’s leadership.”
Eric Roehl’s endorsement of the acquisition underscores the shared values and mutual respect between the two organizations. This collaboration not only supports a smooth integration process but also reflects the long-term strategic vision both leaders have for the continued development of excavating and trucking services in the region.
Investments in Infrastructure and Equipment
In preparation for an increase in demand and to better serve new and existing clients, Armour has made a series of capital investments aimed at expanding its fleet and product offerings. The company recently acquired a 55-ton triple axle lowboy, a 39-foot aluminum end dump, and a new tractor. These additions significantly increase the company’s hauling capacity and flexibility, particularly for heavy and oversized loads commonly required in large-scale construction and excavation projects.
These investments demonstrate Armour’s proactive approach to growth and its commitment to maintaining high standards of efficiency and safety. The new equipment is expected to enhance Armour’s ability to respond to customer needs with greater speed and reliability, ensuring that project timelines are met and transportation costs are kept under control.
In addition, Armour will now be offering extended delivery hours, including evening and weekend deliveries, effective immediately. This expanded availability is aimed at meeting the diverse and often urgent scheduling needs of contractors and construction crews working on tight deadlines. By enhancing service hours,underscores its role as a dependable partner in keeping construction and infrastructure projects moving forward.
Expanded Materials Yard and Product Line
To further support its expanded operations, Armour is also increasing the capacity of its materials yard. Located in Center Point, Texas, the expanded yard will now carry additional products including various grades of sand and 57 rock, which is a popular choice for drainage and decorative landscaping. This broader inventory enables Armour to better meet the needs of customers seeking a one-stop solution for excavation, aggregate supply, and transportation services.
The upgraded yard ensures that contractors and developers have consistent access to essential materials, minimizing downtime and reducing the logistical burden of sourcing from multiple suppliers. By combining excavation expertise, a modern transportation fleet, and a comprehensive inventory of materials, Armour positions itself as a premier service provider in the region.
Strengthening Regional Presence with New Center Point Location
As part of the acquisition, Armour is expanding its geographic footprint with a new office location in Center Point, TX. The new facility, located at 5861 TX-27, serves as a central hub for operations in the eastern portion of Kerr County and improves accessibility for customers in the surrounding communities. The location also provides logistical advantages for fleet coordination and supply chain management, reducing travel times and enhancing delivery efficiency.
With this move, solidifies its presence in a rapidly growing area of Texas, ensuring it is well-positioned to support both public infrastructure projects and private sector developments. The Center Point office complements the company’s existing operations in Kerrville and reflects broader vision of regional leadership in excavating and hauling services.
The acquisition of Buck Valley Trucking represents a forward-thinking move by Excavating LLC to scale its operations, deepen its customer relationships, and expand its market reach. As the construction and development sectors in Central Texas continue to grow, is committed to supporting this momentum with best-in-class service, modern equipment, and a skilled workforce.
“This is an exciting chapter in story,” Stephen Day added. “We’re not just growing in size—we’re growing in capability, in community involvement, and in our ability to deliver value to our clients. We’re proud to build on the foundation Eric Roehl established at Buck Valley and to continue driving progress in our region.”
