Attapulgite country
Clay plants a short run west of Havana
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Quincy Plant and Mines 9.8 miles west of Havana and the Active Minerals Attapulgite Division at 11.3 miles in the same direction. Both are mineral processing plants, so a dump truck or tractor that shuttles between them and the highway may be parked at a plant lot when you contact us.
Two sand and gravel operations, Silver Lake 1 at 14.6 miles south and A-Mining Group II LLC. at 17.8 miles south-west, also appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck hauls aggregate from either pit, send photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate, and note the pit name so we know where the trip to collect it begins.
Ninety-nine registered outfits around a small town
Ninety-nine active carriers are on FMCSA’s carrier census for Havana. Of those, the same census shows 47 listing general freight, 25 machinery and large objects, 23 logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 22 motor vehicles. A log truck, a lowboy tractor and a car hauler are all trucks we buy here.
Seventy of the ninety-nine run intrastate only and 28 cross state lines, the federal census shows, while 42 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often stays registered to a farm or a business rather than a person, so have the name on the title match the name signing the sale, or bring the paperwork showing who can sign for the company.
Across 52 trucks stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2016, and about 46 percent were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, a photo of the door-jamb sticker or the registration card gives us the exact model year in one step.
On mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census has 19 Havana carriers reporting a median of 11,185 miles per truck in a year. Per that census, the top fleet in town lists 35 power units and 25 drivers, and the next two list 13 and 11. If you are selling several trucks from one yard, give us a list of VINs and we can arrange them together.
Fields and forest
Farm and timber work in the hills north of Tallahassee
Havana’s job base in 2023 came to 628 positions, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show, with agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting holding 158 of them, a 25.2 percent share. Manufacturing added 133 on the same LEHD count, or 21.2 percent. A grain truck or a log trailer tractor that works those jobs may be parked at a farm or a woodlot, and we collect from either; tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a truck to reach it.
Gadsden County had 489 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that census ranks corn, milk and goats as its top products. A milk tanker tractor or a farm truck that hauls feed and corn should come with its title and current registration. If it carries farm tags, mention that when you first get in touch.
Fifteen miles south-east of town, the North American Rail Network lists the TALLAHASSEE rail yard, and the CHATTAHOOCHEE (AN) yard sits 24.5 miles west. A tractor that drays freight to either yard can be collected from a yard lot or from home in Havana; just tell us which.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NRC-MCRC Tallahassee, a military installation, 14.6 miles south. Base access rules apply to anyone coming on post, so if your truck is parked inside, arrange to have it moved outside the gate before pickup.
Florida’s title agency works through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents.
If the title has gone missing or still names a lender, that Quincy office is where a duplicate is issued or the lender’s name is cleared. Bring photo ID, the VIN and the lender’s release letter if one applies.
