Pine landings, log trailers and Bonifay tractors
Of the 85 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Bonifay, 29 list logs, poles, beams or lumber among the cargo they haul. If your tractor has spent its years pulling a log trailer out of the pine stands around town, tell us whether the trailer comes with it or stays behind, and send a photo of the tractor and one of the trailer if both are for sale.
General freight shows up on 33 of those carrier registrations and farm supplies on 12, again per the FMCSA census. If the fifth wheel or bunks were changed along the way, list what is fitted now so the photos and your description agree.
Logging tractors here often sit at a landing or a yard out of town rather than in a driveway. Give us the road and the nearest crossroads, plus a name and phone number for whoever can let us onto the property, and we plan the collection around that spot.
Dump trucks near the sand pits and stone quarries
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Panama City Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, 12.7 miles south-east of Bonifay, and Sandhills Plant 2, another sand and gravel site, 22.2 miles to the south. A dump truck or end-dump that has run between those pits and local job sites is a truck we purchase, and it can stay parked where it last worked.
East of town, Jones Pit is a crushed-stone quarry 21.2 miles out and Imperial Rock Mine, a dimension-stone quarry, sits 23 miles away, both on MSHA’s mine records. For a tri-axle or a quad that hauled stone from either one, the VIN, the axle setup and the body length are the three details to send first.
Machinery and large objects appear on 20 carrier registrations in town according to FMCSA’s census. If yours is a lowboy or heavy-haul tractor, include the registration card with your photos.
Job-site dump bodies
Construction crews around the county seat
Construction accounts for 13.9 percent of the jobs counted in Bonifay for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, while manufacturing holds a 2.4 percent share. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies are all trucks we buy, whether they belong to one owner-operator or a crew.
Thirty-five construction firms operate around Bonifay, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns reports, and a truck titled to one of them needs the business name on the title to match whoever signs, along with word of who in the company can authorise the sale.
Cattle, cotton and soybean hauling
Around Bonifay, farm country runs to 629 operations across Holmes County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, cotton and soybeans at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and module trucks that work those farms are all on the list of what we take.
A farm truck is often titled to a family member or registered with farm plates. Before you contact us, check whose name is on the title and whether the plate stays with you, and tell us if the truck is parked in a barn or a field so we know what access looks like.
Twenty-six cross state lines
Holmes County trucks on Florida roads and on interstate runs
Bonifay’s registered carriers split 26 interstate against 59 intrastate, and 44 of them run private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Most trucks here stay inside Florida, so a Florida title and registration are usually the only papers involved.
Drivers are split too: FMCSA’s census records 110 who stay inside a hundred-mile circle of home and 82 who range past it. Among the 16 carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median came to 22,500 miles per truck, so have the current odometer reading ready when you call.
The biggest fleet registered here has 45 power units and 30 drivers, per the same FMCSA census. We buy a single tractor or several from one yard; for a fleet, send a list of VINs and the address where each unit sits.
Model years on the Bonifay trucks pulled over for inspection
FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 42 trucks from Bonifay carriers, with a median model year of 2018, and those same inspection records put 35.7 percent of the trucks at ten or more model years old.
Whatever the year of your truck, the model year, make and VIN are on the title and the door sticker. Send a photo of each along with pictures of the cab, the frame and the tires, and include any inspection or service records you have kept.
Waukesha Street
A lost title and the office one mile from downtown
In Florida, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles handles titles, with county tax collector service centers and license plate agents doing the counter work for Bonifay’s sellers. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the Bonifay office as the Holmes County motor vehicle service center - Bonifay, at 224 N. Waukesha St., Bonifay, 32425, about 1 mile from town by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ location list.
If the title is missing or still names a lender you have since cleared, that Waukesha Street service center is where a duplicate or a lien release starts. Bring your ID and the VIN, and tell us the title is being reissued when you reach out so the rest can be lined up meanwhile.
