Stone up the road
Two stone pits on the north-east side of Brookridge
Just 3.9 miles toward the north-east, on a short drive from Brookridge homes, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places a crushed-stone pit called Brooksville Quarry. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer rig has been loading there, it may well be parked at a yard between the two. Give us that yard’s address, the VIN and a few photos of the body and chassis, and we can plan the collection from there.
Another stone site, the Calcium Plant, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 7.3 miles out in the same north-east direction. A truck that alternated between these two pits still has one owner and one title, so the paperwork we ask for is short: the title in your name, the current registration, and any service records you kept.
Neither quarry has to be where the sale happens. Should the truck be sitting inside a gated pit area, tell us who holds the key and when the gate opens, and we will set the pickup around those hours rather than asking you to move it.
Kiln and mine sites
A cement kiln north-east, a mineral mine south-west
At 4.8 miles to the north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Brooksville South Cement Plant. Bulk pneumatic tankers and concrete mixers are the trucks that serve a site like that, and both fit what we purchase. For a mixer, send a photo of the drum and the chute along with the cab, and mention whether the drum stays mounted on the chassis.
Going the other way, County Line Mine is an industrial-mineral mine 9.2 miles south-west of town according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. That puts it on the opposite side of Brookridge from the cement plant and both quarries. If your truck works out of the south-west site, say so when you call, so the route we plan heads the right way from the start.
Plant and mine sites usually keep their own sign-in sheets and safety checks. Hand us copies of any inspection reports you hold for the truck; they tell its working story in a way photos cannot, and if you have none, a plain description of the hauls it ran does the same job.
Cattle, horses, goats
Livestock farms across Hernando County
Across Hernando County, 761 farms raise mostly cattle, then horses, then goats, in figures from USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Stock trailers, flatbeds carrying hay and the tractors that pull them are what a farm owner here is most likely to have in the barn or the back pasture.
A farm truck often sits on the property for long spells between jobs, and that is fine with us. Tell us the gate, the track to the barn and whether the ground is firm enough for our recovery vehicle, and send a picture of where the truck stands now.
If the farm is held by a family and the title names a relative, the name printed on that title is the one that counts. Get the owner on the title to sign it, or have the estate papers ready, before collection day so the transfer goes through cleanly.
Brookridge driveways and side lots
Brookridge held 430 workplace jobs in 2023, a figure the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) report for this small Hernando County community. If your truck is parked at home in a driveway or side lot here rather than at a terminal, that is where we collect it.
When the truck lives at your house, we come to the house. List the street address, note anything that blocks the driveway such as a low branch or a soft verge, and tell us whether someone will be home to hand over the keys and the signed title.
Ready for collection
Getting a Brookridge truck ready for pickup
Whether the truck came off the stone run to Brooksville Quarry or the cattle work across Hernando County, the same three things carry the sale: a signed title, current registration and the keys. Put them together in the cab or in one envelope so nothing is missing on the day.
Photos help most when they show the whole truck. With the Mine Safety and Health Administration listing four quarry, cement and mineral sites within about nine miles of town, many trucks here carry a body or attachment; take one shot of that equipment, one of the cab interior, one of the dash with the odometer and one of each side.
The questions we get asked in Brookridge
- Can you collect a dump truck sitting at a yard by Brooksville Quarry instead of in Brookridge itself?Brooksville Quarry is 3.9 miles north-east of Brookridge on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from there or wherever else the truck is parked. Send the yard’s street address and the name of whoever unlocks it for trucks.
- Do you buy livestock haulers and farm trucks from Hernando County?Hernando County has 761 farms under USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, horses and goats, and the trucks and trailers that serve them are on our list. Send photos of the truck and tell us where on the property it is standing.
- Which details matter first for a mixer that hauls from Brooksville South Cement Plant?Brooksville South Cement Plant sits 4.8 miles north-east of town per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and for a mixer from there we start with the VIN, a photo of the drum and the title in your name. Our remaining questions about the mixer build on those three items.
