Quarry roads south of town and the cement plant north-west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries south of High Springs: 1415 Newberry at 8.1 miles and Newberry Limestone at 9.4 miles. A dump truck or tractor that shuttles aggregate out of those pits may be parked at a quarry yard rather than at your house, so tell us the gate and who holds the key.
Suwannee American Cement, a cement plant 18.8 miles north-west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits on the far side of the county line from the quarries. If your bulk tractor or mixer is kept near that plant, give us its exact location and we will collect it there; it does not need to come back into town first.
For any truck from these sites, photograph the frame, the bed or tank, the tires and the cab, and have the title and current Florida registration ready to show.
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 80 active carriers based in High Springs; 63 of them run intrastate, 16 interstate, and 45 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a business name on the title, so check whose name is on it and have that person or company officer sign.
Of those carriers, the federal census shows 39 hauling general freight, 19 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, 18 moving machinery and large objects, and 13 carrying farm supplies. Log trucks, lowboys and flatbed tractors are all trucks we buy; tell us the trailer setup when you send photos.
New registrations have been steady in small numbers: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 3 new carriers in 2024 and 5 in 2025. If you started your authority recently and are selling the truck now, have the purchase paperwork and title together when you contact us.
The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA’s carrier census run 30, 17 and 6 power units, with 35, 17 and 7 drivers. Owners of a yard with several tractors can list every VIN in one message, and we will go through them truck by truck.
Drivers here mostly work close to home: the same federal census counts 184 drivers operating within 100 miles and 126 going beyond it. If your truck works local routes, tell us whether it is kept in town or at a job site, and we collect it from that spot.
Fourteen carriers reported annual miles to FMCSA, and their median was 50,000 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading written down before you call; it is one of the first things we ask.
Whatever year yours is, send the VIN so we can read the build details straight from it.
Keep any recent inspection reports with the truck. A roadside or annual inspection sheet gives us the truck’s history in its own paperwork, alongside the photos you send.
LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 2,186 jobs in High Springs in 2023, with 197 in construction and 202 in manufacturing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service trucks from contractors’ yards are welcome; tell us which yard yours sits in.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,712 farms in Alachua County, with cattle, propagative material and corn leading. A grain truck, cattle hauler or feed truck kept on a farm can be picked up from the farm itself, so describe the gate and the driveway so we can plan the pickup.
Find the title before anything else and check that the name on it matches the seller. If the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate; start that request early, since the sale closes on the title.
Along with the title, gather the registration, any service or inspection records, and a set of clear photos taken in daylight. With those in hand, a truck from a High Springs quarry run, timber haul or farm lane is ready to sell.
