East Palatka minerals
The SRM Materials mine south-west of Butler Beach
SRM Materials East Palatka, an industrial-mineral mine, sits 17.5 miles south-west of Butler Beach in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A dump truck or bulk tractor that loads there can be collected at the mine yard or wherever it is usually parked; send us the street address and the name of the person who will meet our driver.
If your truck hauls material out of East Palatka, put the VIN, make, model and model year in your first message, then add photos of the cab, both sides and the bed or trailer connection. Keep the Florida title and current registration together in one envelope so the paperwork is ready when the truck is.
Rail freight at the PECAN yard to the west
PECAN, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain, lies 25 miles due west of Butler Beach. Tractors that shuttle loads between that yard and St. Johns County customers can be picked up beside the tracks instead of being driven home first.
When a truck is parked on a rail-served lot that belongs to someone else, tell us who controls the gate and which hours it is open. Shipping logs or service records from the yard work are welcome, though the title in your name is what the sale actually depends on.
A small job base and the trucks behind it
Butler Beach counted 1,006 jobs in 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. In a place that size, a work truck is often owned by one person or a family business, and the person or company named on the title is the one who signs.
Owner-operators and contractors in Butler Beach can sell a single tractor, dump truck or service body without winding down anything else they own. Write down where the truck is parked, whether it sits in a driveway, a storage lot or a job site, and we plan the collection around that spot.
Honey, horses and cattle across the county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 223 farms in St. Johns County, with honey, equine and cattle at the top of its list. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and farm flatbeds from those operations are trucks we purchase, and we can come out to the barn or pasture gate.
For a truck that lives on farm ground near Butler Beach, give us directions to the gate it sits behind and a phone number for whoever will be there. A farm-titled truck signs over the same way as any other: the owner on the St. Johns County paperwork puts a name on the transfer.
Papers and pictures to line up in Butler Beach
Start with the title, the registration card and the keys, then collect any inspection or maintenance records you still have. Take photos in daylight from all four corners, plus the dash and the odometer, and send them with your first note.
A lost Florida title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and the request goes in under the registered owner’s name. If a lender still holds the title, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the lien can be cleared at the sale.
