Golden Gate stone
A crushed-stone quarry just under eight miles north-east
Golden Gate Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a crushed-stone quarry, lies 7.8 miles north-east of Berkshire Lakes. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls rock out of that pit may well be parked near the quarry gate or in a yard along the way when you call us, and we can collect it right there.
If your truck runs quarry loads, take photos of the body, the hoist and the cab, and note the VIN and odometer reading. With those three things in front of us, the first conversation can be about your truck instead of about what to send next.
Sand pits north-east of town
Federal mine safety records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration place 846 Mine LLC, a sand and gravel operation, 11.8 miles north-east of Berkshire Lakes, and the Corkscrew sand and gravel operation 21.7 miles out in the same direction. Tandem dumps, belly dumps and the tractors that pull them are the kinds of trucks a sand route like that keeps busy.
When a truck from one of those pits is the one you want to sell, tell us which site it works out of and whether we can reach it with a tow or a lowboy. We plan the pickup around the address you give, so a truck sitting at a pit near Corkscrew is no harder for you to sell than one in a Berkshire Lakes driveway.
Northward haul
Fort Myers Quarry and the run up the coast
Twenty-one and a half miles north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Fort Myers Quarry as a crushed-stone quarry. Four mine sites, all within about twenty-two miles, ring Berkshire Lakes to the north and north-east on that agency’s list, and none sits to the south or west.
For an owner here, that layout means a truck could be anywhere along the corridor between Naples and Fort Myers on the day you decide to sell. Give us the location where it actually sits, plus any service records you keep in the cab, and we will work out collection from there.
Golden Gate Parkway
A tax collector counter off Golden Gate Parkway
Titles in this state come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which handles them through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For Berkshire Lakes, the nearest is the Collier County motor vehicle service center - Naples, at 4715 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, 34116, which the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles places 2.2 miles from town.
If the title for your truck is missing or still shows a lienholder, a visit to that Golden Gate Parkway office is where to start sorting it out. Bring your registration and identification, and tell us early if a lien is involved so we know what paperwork the sale will need.
Employers by the lakes
Box trucks and service bodies around the lakes
In 2023 Berkshire Lakes held 571 workplace jobs, a figure the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) report for the community itself. Work trucks here include the box trucks, service bodies and pickups-turned-workhorses that serve those employers and the homes around the lakes.
A medium-duty truck from a local business is as welcome as a quarry tractor. Have the registration, the title and a few clear photos of the cargo body ready, and let us know where the truck is kept.
Collier County livestock and apiary trucks
Across Collier County, 330 farms were counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, equine and honey lead that county’s list. Stock trailers, horse haulers and flatbeds that carry hives are the sort of farm equipment those operations use.
If a ranch or apiary truck inland from Berkshire Lakes is the one you are selling, tell us what it hauled and whether it is kept at a barn or gate we can reach. Photos of the bed or trailer hitch help along with the title.
