Rock north-west of Andrews
Dixie County Pit, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 13.8 miles north-west of Andrews, is the closer of the two pits to town. A tri-axle or tandem dump that hauls rock out of there is the kind of truck we buy, and if it is still parked near the pit when you call, tell us the gate and who holds the key so collection can be planned at the quarry rather than in town.
For a dump body, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab and the frame. Add the VIN and the odometer reading, and say whether the box or the hoist was ever swapped, so our questions start from the truck you actually have.
Rock hauling toward the Levy County Pit
Heading east, the Levy County Pit sits 15.5 miles from Andrews according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which records it as a crushed-stone quarry too. Owners who split their loads between both pits often keep the truck in a yard at home between jobs; give us the street address of that yard and we come to it there.
Belly dumps, end dumps and the tractors that pull them all qualify. If you run the tractor and trailer as a pair, say whether you want to sell both or only the tractor, and send the trailer’s title or registration if it is included.
Stock trailers and farm tractors around Andrews
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 993 farms across Levy County, and it ranks cattle first, then equine, then corn. Around Andrews that points to cattle pots, gooseneck stock trailers pulled by heavy pickups or day cabs, horse haulers, and grain trucks that move corn at harvest.
Around Andrews, a cattle hauler may carry the ranch’s name on its title instead of an owner’s. If that is the case for yours, tell us whose name is on the title and who can sign for the farm, and we will ask for what that signature needs before collection day rather than on it.
Plant trucks and the Andrews job base
Manufacturing accounts for 53 of Andrews’ 218 jobs in 2023, roughly a quarter at 24.3 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that serve a plant are as welcome as the rock and farm trucks, whether they are titled to a business or to you.
When a business owns the truck, have a letter or resolution ready that names who may sign for it, along with the registration and any service records the shop kept. Photos of the cargo area or deck help us see what the truck carried.
An Andrews title gone missing
Andrews sellers deal with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, whose titles are handled at county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For Andrews owners the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ nearest office is the Levy County motor vehicle service center - Chiefland at 226 N. Main St., Chiefland, 32626, which the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles location list puts 5.1 miles from town.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate at that Chiefland counter and tell us you have done so. If a lender still holds a lien, give us the lender’s name; the release has to reach the title before the sale can close.
