Intrastate haulers and private fleets by the refinery yard
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 641 active carriers based in Clewiston, set against a population of 7,348. If yours is one of them, the USDOT number on your registration is the first thing to send us.
Of those Clewiston carriers, 572 are listed as intrastate and 67 as interstate in the same FMCSA census, with 123 registered as private fleets. A Florida-only tractor and one that has crossed state lines are both trucks we take; just tell us which kind yours is so the registration we ask to see matches its authority.
New registrations keep coming in this Hendry County town: FMCSA lists 56 carriers that started here in 2025 and 44 in 2024. A recently registered owner-operator selling a first truck needs the same short list as anyone else here: title, registration and a set of clear photos.
General freight, farm supplies and fresh produce
General freight is the cargo class named by 431 Clewiston carriers in FMCSA’s census, followed by farm supplies at 77, fresh produce at 76 and machinery or large objects at 66. A van tractor, a reefer unit or a lowboy setup each fits one of those lines, and we look at all of them.
If your truck has hauled produce off the fields around Clewiston, send photos of the reefer unit and the trailer coupling along with the cab. For a machinery hauler, a shot of the deck and the ramps alongside the tractor tells us what the rig was set up to carry.
Farm-supply trucks here often sit at a ranch or a shed rather than a yard. Give us the address and a note on how a recovery truck reaches it, and we collect from there.
Field jobs and the cattle ranches of Hendry County
According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, 1,184 of Clewiston’s 3,617 jobs, or 32.7 percent, were in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. Trucks attached to that work tend to be parked out at the farm itself, so the pickup point is wherever the truck stopped last season.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 392 farms in Hendry County, with cattle, equine and honey listed at the top. Stock trailers, hay haulers and flatbeds that served those ranches are trucks we buy; keep the title with the tractor, and if the trailer goes too, bring its paperwork as well.
The same LEHD figures put 171 jobs in construction, 83 in wholesale trade and 82 in manufacturing in Clewiston. A dump truck or a delivery straight truck from one of those employers needs nothing special beyond the title and current registration.
The refinery rail yard and the pits west and south
Just 1.3 miles south-east of Clewiston lies the Clewiston Refinery rail yard, with Canal Point yard another 20.5 miles east, both mapped in the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle to and from that yard can be collected right where they park.
Garcia 833 Mine, a sand and gravel operation 8.9 miles south-west, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, as does Boar Hammock Sand Mine at 14.1 miles north-west. A dump truck or end-dump trailer from either pit is something we take; a photo of the bed and the hoist helps us size it up.
Rock moves from two crushed-stone quarries nearby, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration: Star Quarries, 13.6 miles east, and PJM Rock Mine & Aggregates, 16.1 miles west. Tell us which site your truck hauled from so the pickup can be routed straight to it.
Local runs, long hauls and the fleets behind them
FMCSA’s census records 757 Clewiston drivers working within 100 miles and 891 working beyond it. Whether your truck stays on Hendry County roads or runs out past that radius, we pick it up from wherever it is when you call.
Across 133 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck here logged 22,636 miles a year in FMCSA’s figures. Have the odometer reading ready when you get in touch, alongside the VIN.
Clewiston’s top three fleets by size field 27, 20 and 20 power units on FMCSA’s register, the first of them with 74 drivers. An owner retiring several units at once can send one list of VINs and titles, and we work through the whole group together.
The questions we get asked in Clewiston
- Do you collect trucks from ranches outside Clewiston?Hendry County has 392 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from ranch gates and sheds as readily as from town. Point us down the ranch road to the truck and it gets loaded where it sits.
- Will you buy a dump truck that hauled from the local sand mines?Garcia 833 Mine and Boar Hammock Sand Mine are both within about 14 miles of Clewiston in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks from pits like those are part of what we buy. Send the title and photos of the bed.
- Is a Hendry County truck that never left the state a problem for you?Intrastate operators make up 572 of Clewiston’s 641 active carriers in FMCSA’s census, so a Florida-only truck is the usual case here. We need the title and current registration, the same as for any truck.
- Before I call, what do you need about my Clewiston rig?With 641 carriers on FMCSA’s register in town, the details that identify your truck are the VIN, the USDOT number, the title, the registration and a few photos of the cab, frame and tires.
