Aggregate pits a mile from Crystal River
The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Amrize Crystal River Quarry 0.7 miles north-east of town, with the Red Level Mine, another crushed-stone operation, 5.2 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or tractor that shuttles aggregate between those pits is often parked on or beside quarry ground, so tell us which gate it sits behind and who can let us in.
Farther out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Manko Co Sec 5 Mine/Phos, an industrial-mineral mine 12.5 miles east, and the Brooksville South Cement Plant 23.7 miles south-east. If your rig hauls between Crystal River and Brooksville, it can stay at whichever end it finished the week; give us that address and we plan the collection there.
Site paperwork from these operations helps us understand a truck’s working life. Keep any mine-site inspection sheets or service logs together with the title, and send clear photos of the cab, the frame and the body or trailer before we talk.
Freight, machinery and timber haulers on the Nature Coast
Crystal River is home to 95 active trucking registrations on FMCSA’s carrier census. In that census, general freight is the most common cargo listed, at 38 of them, followed by machinery and large objects at 21, farm supplies at 12, and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 11. Whichever of those your truck has carried, tell us the cargo type up front so our questions match the equipment.
Most of these outfits stay inside Florida: of those 95 registrations, the federal census marks 83 as intrastate and only 12 as interstate, and 54 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. An owner running a private fleet usually has the truck titled to the business, so have the company’s name exactly as it appears on the title when you get in touch.
New authority keeps arriving in town as well. FMCSA’s records show 8 carriers registered here in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started up recently and are now selling a power unit, the registration and the title are the two papers that matter most.
Citrus County loops and annual mileage
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 387 local drivers here who operate within 100 miles and 88 who go beyond that radius. A truck on those local loops is most likely sitting in a yard in Citrus County when you decide to sell, which is where we come to collect it.
When you contact us, read the odometer and note the VIN from the door jamb or dash; those two figures let us identify the exact truck before anything else.
Fleet sizes vary widely in the same FMCSA filings: the biggest operation in town reports 348 power units and 210 drivers, and the next two list 33 and 27 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard, send a list of each unit’s VIN, make and model year.
Whatever model year yours is, keep a copy of its most recent inspection report with the title. Photos of each side, the dash and the data plate give us the rest of what we need to identify it.
Of the 3,587 jobs located in Crystal River in 2023, wholesale trade held 115 and construction 111, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks serving those employers are the kinds of equipment we collect from job sites and warehouses around town.
According to County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau, 54 construction establishments are counted here. A truck that belongs to one of them may be parked at a contractor’s lot rather than at home; tell us the lot’s address and a contact for the gate.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 602 farms in Citrus County, with cattle, horses and goats the leading livestock. A stock trailer tractor or farm-supply hauler kept on a ranch can be collected right there, as long as the title and keys are ready.
