Shell and sand
Pits south and east of Englewood
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Florida Shell & Fill Company LLC, an industrial-mineral mine, 1.9 miles south of Englewood. If your dump truck or tractor loads shell there and is parked near the pit, give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Farther out, Washington Loop Mine, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, sits 24.5 miles east. If your truck is stored near that pit rather than at home in Englewood, leave it there and send us the location along with photos of the bed, cab and tires.
Freight, machinery and refuse on Englewood’s books
General freight is the most common cargo line, claimed by 42 of the town’s carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by 25 that haul machinery and large objects. Owners of box trucks, flatbeds and lowboys from either group can start with the VIN, the title and a set of clear photos.
Fifteen Englewood carriers list garbage, refuse and trash, and 13 list motor vehicles, according to the same FMCSA census. Roll-off trucks, rear loaders and car haulers all fit what we buy; tell us what body is mounted and whether the title shows the truck and body together.
Registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s census shows 7 new carriers in Englewood in 2025 and 6 in 2024. If you bought a truck for a business that started in one of those years, keep the bill of sale with the title so ownership is easy to follow.
Mostly in-state, mostly close to home
Of the 128 carriers on FMCSA’s census, 111 run intrastate and 17 run interstate, and 65 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often stays registered to the business that uses it, so have the company officer who can sign the title ready to do so.
Driver counts lean local as well: FMCSA’s census records 226 drivers working within 100 miles and 104 beyond it. Among the 23 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median is 12,500 miles per truck a year. Put the odometer reading in your first message so we can match it to the photos.
The three biggest fleets in town, by FMCSA’s census, run 22, 18 and 16 power units, with 33, 21 and 16 drivers. If you are selling several units at once, list each VIN and where each truck is parked.
Trucks stopped at roadside around Englewood
Sixty-two Englewood carrier trucks were stopped at roadside between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2018. Send the model year and engine details with your photos so we know which truck we are looking at.
Of those 62 Englewood trucks, the FMCSA roadside inspection records show 45 percent carrying a model year ten or more years back. Whatever the year on your title, the paperwork we ask for is the same: title, registration and any service records you kept.
Job sites in town, nurseries and cattle in the county
Construction accounts for 778 of Englewood’s 5,849 jobs in 2023, or 13.3 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 77 in manufacturing and 61 in wholesale trade. A dump truck, flatbed or service body that has worked local job sites can be collected from the site or from the contractor’s yard.
Englewood is home to 145 construction establishments, a count the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns carries for the town. If your truck belongs to one of those firms, tell us whose name is on the title and who will be on hand when we arrive.
Sarasota County holds 286 farms, and the leading lines there are propagative material, cattle and foliage plants, per the 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA. A stake-bed, cattle hauler or nursery truck parked on a farm can stay where it is; give us directions past the gate.
The questions we get asked in Englewood
- Can you pick up my dump truck where it is parked beside the shell pit south of Englewood?Florida Shell & Fill Company LLC is 1.9 miles south of Englewood on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from where the truck sits there. Pass along the pit-side address and a phone number for whoever opens the yard.
- Do you buy garbage and roll-off trucks from Englewood?Fifteen carriers in Englewood list garbage, refuse and trash in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those trucks are on our list. Tell us the body type and send photos of the chassis and the body.
- My Englewood business hauls its own goods in a private fleet; whose signature goes on the title?FMCSA’s census counts 65 private fleets among Englewood’s carriers, and for those the title is usually in the business’s name. An officer authorised to sign for the company signs it, and we can arrange collection from your yard.
