Quarry routes
Stone and sand to the north and north-east
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Jayrock, a crushed-stone quarry about 17.4 miles north-east of Cape Coral, and SRM Materials Punta Gorda, another stone quarry roughly 18.1 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls aggregate from those pits may be parked at the quarry yard rather than at home in Cape Coral. Give us the exact gate or lot address and the name of someone who can let us in.
Further north, Bermont Materials Alico and DSF Bishop Mine appear as industrial-mineral mines at 21.2 and 21.8 miles in MSHA’s listings, with the Washington Loop Mine sand and gravel operation at 22.5 miles. If your tractor has been loading at any of these, photograph the body, the hoist and the cab, and keep the registration and title together so pickup at a mine lot is one visit.
Cape Coral’s intrastate haulers and car carriers
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 2,659 active carriers based in Cape Coral, and 2,103 of them are registered intrastate only, against 555 that cross state lines. Most sellers here will therefore have a Florida-registered truck that has stayed inside the state. Have the Florida registration and the title in the owner’s name before you reach out.
General freight is the cargo listed by 1,683 of those carriers, with motor vehicles named by 318, according to the same federal census. Car haulers and wedge trailers from Cape Coral are trucks we purchase; send the VIN, a photo of the deck and the ramps, and a note on whether the trailer goes with the tractor.
Another 467 Cape Coral carriers in FMCSA’s register operate as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belonged to a business you own, tell us which name the title is in; the signature on the sale has to match it.
Building trades
Construction work across Lee County
Construction accounts for 7,049 jobs in Cape Coral, about 15.8 percent of the 44,755 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023. Flatbeds, stake trucks and dump bodies that serve those job sites often end up stored on a lot or a builder’s yard between contracts, and we collect from either.
County Business Patterns, compiled by the Census Bureau, records 899 construction establishments. If your truck carried a company logo or a contractor’s decals, mention that when you write; a lettered door is fine to leave as it is, and the photos simply need to show both sides of the cab.
Machinery and large objects are listed as cargo by 186 Cape Coral carriers in FMCSA’s census, and 175 haul metal sheets, coils and rolls. For a lowboy or step-deck setup, include the trailer’s own title and plate along with the tractor’s paperwork.
Short-radius and long-radius drivers in Cape Coral
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 3,039 in the federal carrier census for Cape Coral, while 2,739 range beyond that radius. A long-haul tractor may be out on a run when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be parked when it returns and we plan the collection around that spot.
Among the 736 local carriers reporting annual mileage to FMCSA, the median is 30,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN, since those two numbers start every conversation about a truck.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 1,351 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2013 and 61.66 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the model year, bring the service records you have kept; they travel with the truck.
New and farm
New operators and Lee County farms
New carriers registered in Cape Coral numbered 287 in 2025 and 207 in 2024, per FMCSA’s census. An owner-operator who has bought a tractor in the last couple of years and now wants out should have the bill of sale and any lien release ready, so the title can transfer cleanly.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 813 farms in Lee County, with corn, cattle and honey at the top of the list. A farm truck or livestock hauler parked on rural land outside the city is one we come to; send a pin or directions to the gate along with photos.
Getting ready to sell in Cape Coral
The largest fleet based in Cape Coral runs 125 power units with 125 drivers, according to FMCSA, and the next two run 42 and 37. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a fleet that size, list each VIN, its title status and where each unit is parked.
If a title has gone missing, the state’s title agency in Florida issues the replacement, and that duplicate needs to be in hand before the sale closes. Start that request early and tell us it is underway, so the rest of the paperwork can be lined up at the same time.
The questions we get asked in Cape Coral
- My dump truck sits at a stone quarry north-east of Cape Coral; will you collect it from the quarry lot?We will: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Jayrock about 17.4 miles north-east of the city, and we collect from quarry lots like that one once you give us the gate details and a contact on site.
- My truck has only ever carried Florida plates; does an in-state-only history matter when I sell?It does not, since FMCSA’s carrier census shows 2,103 of Cape Coral’s 2,659 active carriers operating intrastate only, so a Florida-only truck is the usual case here; keep its Florida title and current registration together for the pickup.
- Will you take a farm truck that works fields or cattle ground in Lee County?A truck serving one of the 813 Lee County farms counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture is one we purchase, so send photos and the location of the field or barn where it is kept.
