Kathleen Mine and the quarry west of town
Of the stone pits around Crystal Springs, Kathleen Mine sits nearest, 6.1 miles out on the north-east side, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration carries it as a crushed-stone operation. If your dump truck or tractor has hauled stone out of Kathleen, it may be parked at a yard near the quarry rather than at your house; give us that address and we will collect it there.
Heading the other way, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Central State Aggregates LLC as a crushed-stone quarry 8.8 miles west. A truck that has worked both pits can be sold with whatever load tickets or scale records you kept; they help us understand the work it did, and photos of the bed and the frame fill in the rest.
Van Fleet sand and gravel to the east
About 19.9 miles east, the Van Fleet sand and gravel operation shows up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Owners whose trucks split time between Van Fleet and the stone quarries nearer Crystal Springs often keep the truck wherever the last job ended, so tell us which site it sits at today.
Before we arrive at Van Fleet or any pit gate, check that the site lets an outside vehicle in to load your truck. Have the keys, the title and the registration together in the cab or in your hand so the collection is one visit.
South-east freight
Tankers, WINSTON and PRAIRIE rail yards
On the road toward Winston, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Heniff Transportation’s liquid bulk terminal, 12 miles south-east of Crystal Springs. Tractors that pull tank trailers out of that terminal are among the trucks we buy; list the trailer types it hauled and send photos of the fifth wheel along with the cab.
Along the same south-east line, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the WINSTON rail yard at 15.2 miles and the PRAIRIE yard at 20.9 miles. A day cab that shuttles freight between those yards can be picked up at the yard lot if that is where it stays.
Ramp and harbor
Tampa’s intermodal ramp and port to the south-west
South-west of Crystal Springs, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Tampa intermodal ramp 20.9 miles away and the Tampa Port Authority 22.5 miles out. If your tractor pulls containers off that ramp or out of the port, send the VIN and an odometer photo first, since those answer most of what we ask about a container hauler.
Trucks that end their shift near the Tampa docks rather than back in Pasco do not have to be driven home for us. Tell us the street address of the lot and whether a gate code or a contact is needed to reach it.
Missing paperwork and the East Pasco Government Center
Florida titles are handled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and in this part of Pasco its office is the Pasco County motor vehicle service center - Dade City, one of the county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles places it in the East Pasco Government Center, 14236 Sixth Street, Room #100, Dade City, 33523, about 12.7 miles from Crystal Springs.
If the title for your truck is missing or still lists a lienholder, that Dade City counter is where a replacement or an updated title starts. Bring your registration and any release letter from the lienholder, and tell us early so the title is in hand before the truck changes owners.
Local fleet mix
Model years seen at Florida inspections near Crystal Springs
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 through August 2026 cover 58 trucks tied to this area, with a median model year of 2016.5 and 43.1 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whichever side of that median your truck falls on, the same few things help: the VIN, current registration and recent service records.
Construction is part of the local picture too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 19 construction establishments here. Owners of a dump body, a flatbed or a tractor used on building jobs can send photos of the body and the cab together so we see the whole truck at once.
Cattle and nursery
Cattle, horses and potted plants across the county
Crystal Springs is surrounded by farm ground; Pasco County had 1,190 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where cattle, equine and potted flowering plants top the list. A livestock hauler, a horse-trailer tractor or a box truck that moves nursery stock is a truck we will look at.
Farm trucks often sit at a barn or a pasture gate between seasons. Let us know if that is the case and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck to reach it, and keep the farm registration with the title.
