Sand, gravel and mineral pits south-west of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Brisbane Pit, an industrial-mineral mine, 7.2 miles south-west of Grant-Valkaria, and Sunshine Mine, a sand and gravel operation, 7.7 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tractor that hauls out of either pit is often parked close to it between loads, so give us the exact yard address and gate hours when you get in touch.
Further south, Corrigan Ranch Division sits 11.6 miles away on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and Buck Hammock, another industrial-mineral mine, lies 22.9 miles to the north-west. If your truck splits its week between those sites, tell us where it ends the day on Friday, and have the title and current registration in the cab or at hand for the pickup.
Grant-Valkaria’s eleven
Eleven carriers, every one of them in-state
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 11 active carriers based in Grant-Valkaria, and all 11 run intrastate, with none registered for interstate work. A truck registered here carries a Florida title, and if yours has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the duplicate before we collect.
Six of those 11 operate as private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning they move their own goods rather than freight for hire. A business that owns its trucks this way usually keeps them on its own lot, so the yard behind the shop is where we would arrange to meet you and the truck.
Fleet sizes recorded by FMCSA run from a single operation with 20 power units and 20 drivers down to outfits with 3 units and 4 drivers or 2 units and 2 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard that size, a list of VINs and the plate for each unit lets us line up the paperwork in one go.
Deck, roll-off, log
Machinery, general freight, refuse and lumber
Four of the town’s carriers declare general freight and four declare machinery and large objects on FMCSA’s census, so lowboys, flatbeds and box trucks all turn up on Grant-Valkaria yards. For a machinery hauler, send photos of the deck, the ramps and the tractor’s cab along with the VIN.
Two carriers here list garbage and refuse, and another two list logs, poles, beams and lumber, per the same FMCSA records. Roll-off trucks, rear loaders and log trailers are all trucks we collect; tell us the body type and the make of the chassis when you first contact us so we can plan the right equipment for the pickup.
Home by evening
Short-haul drivers and the longer runs
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 22 drivers at Grant-Valkaria carriers who work within 100 miles and 13 who go beyond that radius. A truck on the short circuit is usually back at its home yard each evening, which makes that address the simplest place for us to meet it.
For drivers on the longer runs FMCSA records past 100 miles, the truck may be away when you decide to sell. Tell us the date it returns to Brevard County, and keep the registration and any inspection or service records with it so they travel together to the pickup.
Builders and wholesale routes in Grant-Valkaria
According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Grant-Valkaria held 659 jobs, and construction accounted for 136 of them, or 20.6 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixers tied to that building work are the kinds of trucks we take; a photo of the body and one of the data plate cover most of our first questions.
The same 2023 LEHD figures put 59 jobs, about 9 percent, in wholesale trade, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 12 construction establishments in the area. If your box truck or straight truck served a wholesale route or a building contractor, have the title signed by everyone named on it before the day we arrive.
Brevard pastures
Cattle, honey and potted plants across Brevard County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 584 farms in Brevard County, with cattle, honey and potted flowering plants leading its list of products. Livestock haulers, stake-bed trucks and nursery delivery trucks from those farms are all welcome; tell us whether the truck sits on pasture or a paved lot so we know how to reach it.
Farm trucks often stay registered to the farm itself rather than to a person, and the 2022 USDA figures show how many separate operations that covers in the county. Bring the title in whichever name it carries, and if that name has changed since, Florida’s title agency can set the record straight before the sale.
North toward the base
Deliveries toward Patrick Space Force Base
Patrick Space Force Base, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a military installation, lies 20.9 miles north of Grant-Valkaria. If your truck delivers onto the base, we collect it off base at your yard or a public address you choose, never at the gate.
The road north to the base and the pits to the south-west mark out where local trucks spend their working day. Give us the closest cross street to wherever yours is parked and we will schedule the collection around it.
The questions we get asked in Grant-Valkaria
- Do you buy trucks that work the pits near Grant-Valkaria?Brisbane Pit and Sunshine Mine sit 7.2 and 7.7 miles south-west of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks and tractors from those pits are trucks we buy. Send the VIN and the yard address to start.
- Do you take a dump truck that only hauls inside Florida for a Grant-Valkaria outfit?All 11 active carriers in Grant-Valkaria run intrastate, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so an in-state truck is the usual case here. A Florida title in your name is what we need.
- Where does a Grant-Valkaria owner replace a lost Florida title?Grant-Valkaria trucks are titled in Florida, so the state’s title agency is where a duplicate comes from. Apply for it before the pickup and tell us when you expect it.
- Can you collect from a cattle or nursery farm around Grant-Valkaria?Brevard County has 584 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from farm lots and pastures as readily as from paved yards. Tell us how a truck reaches the spot where yours is parked.
