Washington Loop and the mines past it
Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dump trailers that load there may well be parked at a yard out that way when you call, and we can collect it from the yard rather than from your driveway.
Two industrial-mineral mines sit at almost the same distance: Bermont Materials Alico about 7.7 miles east and DSF Bishop Mine about 7.7 miles north-east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck has hauled between either of them and town, send us photos of the body, the cab, the tires and the VIN plate, and tell us which of the three pits it ran to.
None of those three pits is more than eight miles from the neighbourhood on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Tell us whether the truck is kept at home or at the pit, and whether a loader or other equipment blocks it in.
Shell and stone, east
Farther east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Jayrock, a crushed-stone quarry about 18.4 miles away, and the Highlands County Shell Pit at roughly 18.8 miles. Bluegrass rock sand and shell llc, a sand and gravel operation, sits about 19.1 miles east in that same Mine Safety and Health Administration record. A truck parked at any of these does not have to be driven back toward the coast for us to see it.
Haulers who split their week between those eastern quarries and the closer pits often keep paperwork in the cab. Gather the registration, any service invoices and any inspection reports in one place before the pickup, and photograph the odometer so the reading is on record when you first contact us.
Florida titles are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents.
If the title is in a drawer somewhere, find it before you reach out; if it is gone, that Taylor Street office is where a duplicate is requested. When a lender’s name still appears on the title, keep the lien release with your identification and take both to the service center.
Tell us at the start whether the title is in your name, in a business name or in a late relative’s name. Each of those needs different signatures, and knowing which one applies lets us send you the right forms before the collection date.
Charlotte County had 263 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that survey ranks cattle, equine and foliage plants as the county’s top three agricultural products. Stock trailers, flatbeds carrying hay and box trucks moving potted plants all belong on the list of trucks we buy from owners here.
A ranch truck is often parked in a pasture or behind a barn rather than on pavement. Tell us the gate code or who will meet the driver, and say whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck to reach it in wet weather.
If the truck is registered to the ranch or the nursery rather than to you personally, have someone with signing authority for that business ready on the day of the pickup, with the title and the registration together.
A small workplace base
Workers based in the neighbourhood
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023 put the total jobs located in Charlotte Park at 226, for a population of 1,966. In a neighbourhood that size, the person selling a work truck is often the one behind its wheel.
If that describes you, there is no fleet office to clear the sale through. Your name on the title, a photo ID, the keys and a clear set of pictures are what we ask for, and we come to the address you give us in Charlotte Park or out at the pit.
