Starkey Road, Largo
A title office four miles up the road
Florida titles are handled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents, and the closest one to Belleair Bluffs is the Pinellas County motor vehicle service center - Largo at 13025 Starkey Road, Largo, 33773, which that department places 4.1 miles from town. Should the title be missing, or should it still list a lienholder you have since cleared, the Largo counter is where the replacement or release is handled.
Before you call us, find the title and check that the name on it matches the registration. A truck titled to a business you have since closed, or to a relative, needs that settled at the Largo service center first, and it helps to know that before we schedule anything.
Keep the current registration card with the truck and gather any service invoices you still have. Together with the VIN, those let us describe your truck back to you accurately on the first call.
Small town, steady local trade
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 1,099 positions inside Belleair Bluffs itself. Shops, offices and service businesses in town keep cargo vans, small box trucks and contractor pickups moving on short local loops.
If your vehicle spent its working life on those local errands, it is most likely parked behind a storefront, in a driveway or in a rented space nearby. Tell us which, and whether a gate or a landlord is involved, and the pickup is planned around it.
Photos taken in daylight from all four corners, plus the cab interior and the odometer, give us the clearest picture of a truck that never left the peninsula.
Fuel terminals and the cement plant near Port Tampa
Due east of Belleair Bluffs, two petroleum product terminals sit less than a mile apart on the Energy Information Administration’s register: PORT TAMPA BLENDING TERMINAL at 17 miles and TAMPA TERMINAL at 17.7. A tractor that pulled a fuel tanker out of those gates is something we buy; name the terminals you served when you reach us.
Slightly further on, at 22.9 miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the CITGO Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant at 23.1 miles. Mixer trucks and bulk haulers serving that plant belong on our list too; keep any site access or inspection records with the truck.
Living in Belleair Bluffs with the tractor still parked over in Tampa is fine; we collect from the Tampa yard itself. Pass along the Tampa lot’s street address and the name of whoever holds its key.
Yards and air bases
St. Petersburg yard, Port Tampa yard and two military sites
To the south-east, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the ST PETERSBURG rail yard at 13.2 miles; the same network lists the PORT TAMPA yard 22.7 miles east. Straight trucks and day cabs that shuttle freight from those yards to Pinellas warehouses are typical of what owners here have to sell.
Pinellas Park AFRC lies 10 miles south-east and MacDill Air Force Base 20.2 miles east, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of military installations. If your truck is stored inside a controlled area at either one, move it outside the gate or tell us who can escort a driver in.
For any of these routes, start with the VIN, the engine make and the body type; the rest of our questions follow from those three.
Nursery stock and beehives around Belleair Bluffs
Around Belleair Bluffs, potted flowering plants top the list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of honey and cattle, across the 115 farms it counts in Pinellas County. Nursery growers move stock in enclosed box trucks and flatbeds, and beekeepers haul hives on small flat decks.
If a grower’s box truck or a stake-bed has finished its seasons with you, it may well be sitting at the nursery or out on a rural lot. That is fine; tell us the location and whether a refrigeration unit or liftgate is fitted, and send photos of both.
The questions we get asked in Belleair Bluffs
