Gravel, stone and minerals within twenty miles of East Brewton
Cedar Creek Pit, a sand and gravel operation 11 miles south-west of East Brewton, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled out of that pit can stay parked on the site or at your yard; give us the gate contact and the exact spot, and we plan the collection there.
At 14.9 miles north, toward Castleberry, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Pit 31 Castleberry as an industrial-mineral mine. Before you call about a truck that served it, write down the VIN, the odometer reading and whose name is on the title. Those three answers cover most of what we ask first.
Two more sites show up at 19.4 miles in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records: a crushed-stone quarry also named Cedar Creek Pit to the north-east, and the Sardine sand and gravel operation to the west. Photograph the bed, the frame and the tires as well as the cab, so the pictures show the whole truck that worked those runs.
Flomaton’s two yards to the west
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a Flomaton rail yard 11.5 miles west of East Brewton and a second one 13.4 miles south-west. If your day cab or sleeper shuttled freight to or from either yard, tell us which one and where the tractor is parked today.
A tractor kept near the Flomaton tracks does not need to be driven back across the county line to sell it. Send the address, a phone number for whoever holds the keys, and a note on whether a trailer is still hooked up, and the pickup is arranged around that spot.
Module haulers, grain trucks and cattle rigs off Escambia farms
Escambia County’s 326 farms, tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lead with cotton first, corn second and cattle third. Grain trucks, module haulers and livestock rigs that work those fields are trucks we buy, and a farm truck can be collected from the barn or the field edge where it sits.
For a truck registered to a farm operation rather than to you personally, have the farm’s name exactly as the title shows it and a signature from whoever can sign for it. Send service records from planting and harvest seasons if you kept them; if not, describe what the truck hauled from one season to the next.
Town and Navy fields
Work inside East Brewton and the Navy fields nearby
Only 349 jobs were located within East Brewton’s limits in 2023, going by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Many of the trucks owned here are single units kept in a driveway or a small lot, and that is exactly where we collect them from.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NOLF Brewton, a military installation, 3 miles south of town, and NOLF Evergreen 22.4 miles north. Should your truck be parked near either field, tell us whether getting to it needs a pass or an escort so the visit can be set up properly.
Find the title and current registration before you reach out, and check that the name on both matches yours. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency handles a replacement, and it helps to start that request early.
Where a lender still holds a lien on the truck, have the lender’s name and your account number ready. A lien release, or the payoff details from the lender, lets the title move cleanly when the truck leaves Escambia County.
