Sand, shell and stone south-east of Harbour Heights
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Washington Loop Mine, a sand and gravel operation, 4 miles south-east of Harbour Heights, with DSF Bishop Mine at 5.1 miles and Bermont Materials Alico at 5.7 miles in that same direction. A dump truck or tractor that has spent its days on those haul roads can be collected right where it is parked on site. Pass along the pit’s entrance at Washington Loop or Bermont and someone who can unlock it for our driver.
Further out, Watermelon Pit sits 15.2 miles east and Highlands County Shell Pit 15.5 miles east, while Jayrock, a crushed-stone quarry, is 19.5 miles south-east, all on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck is kept at one of those pits rather than at home, that is fine with us. Photograph it where it stands, cab and chassis both, and tell us which pit it is at.
Refuse, car-hauling and general freight carriers in Harbour Heights
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 56 active carriers here; 40 of them run intrastate only, 16 cross state lines, and 11 are private fleets moving their own goods. A Florida-only hauler selling a tractor should have its Florida title and registration together before we talk. An interstate carrier should add the cab card so the truck’s paperwork is complete in one pass.
Among those carriers, 33 list general freight, 8 haul garbage, refuse and trash, 7 move motor vehicles and 6 carry farm supplies, by FMCSA’s carrier census. Whether yours is a roll-off, a car hauler or a box truck, tell us the body type up front along with the VIN. That lets us ask about the right equipment from the first call.
Smaller operations
Harbour Heights fleets, from single trucks upward
The three largest fleets registered here run 14, 6 and 4 power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, with 7, 2 and 6 drivers respectively. A fleet that size can sell one unit or several at once. List each truck’s VIN and where it is parked, and we will arrange collection for each location.
New registrations appear steadily in FMCSA’s carrier census: 7 carriers started here in 2025 and 6 in 2024. If you are a newer operator stepping back from trucking, the title in your name and your current registration are what we need first. If the title is still with a lender, tell us which one so the release can be arranged.
Mostly short-radius driving
Drivers attached to carriers here split 187 working within 100 miles and 55 going beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For thirteen of these carriers, the census reports a median of 31,593 miles per truck in a year. Have the odometer reading ready when you contact us, together with the VIN, so the truck is described accurately from the start.
Your truck is likely parked at home, at a yard or at a job site somewhere around Charlotte County. Tell us which, and whether a tow truck can reach it without moving other equipment. Send service records, if you keep them, along with the photos.
Jobs in 2023
Harbour Heights contractors and their dump and flatbed trucks
Construction accounts for 158 of the 332 jobs located in Harbour Heights in 2023, a share of 47.6 percent in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A contractor’s dump body, flatbed or service truck from that work is one we would like to hear about. Note any attached equipment, such as a crane or liftgate, when you describe it.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts the construction establishment count at 34 for this area, and many of those firms hold their trucks in the company name. When that is so, have an officer of the company ready to sign, and bring proof that they can sign for it.
Cattle, horses and foliage plants
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 263 farms in Charlotte County, with cattle, equine and foliage plants leading the list. A ranch’s stock hauler or a nursery’s box truck parked on a farm can be collected from the property itself. Give us directions to the gate and say whether the ground is passable for a tow.
Farm trucks are sometimes titled in a family member’s name or registered with farm plates. Check whose name is on the title before you call, and if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement. A copy of the registration helps us confirm the VIN in the meantime.
