Produce haulers
Fresh produce out of Immokalee
Of the 412 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census lists for Immokalee, 217 declare fresh produce as a cargo they carry. If your truck hauls produce, tell us whether the reefer unit stays with the truck and send a photo of its hour meter along with the cab.
General freight is the next line on that same federal census, with 143 Immokalee carriers naming it. A tractor that pulls dry vans out of town in the off months is as welcome as one that hauls produce; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the title’s front side, and we can start from there.
Crews and supplies
Buses, crew vans and farm supply trucks
Passengers appear as a cargo for 62 local carriers in the FMCSA census. Crew buses and vans are trucks we buy. Put the bus registration, its title and any inspection sheets in one folder before you call us.
Farm supplies are listed by 37 carriers here under FMCSA’s records, alongside a Collier County count of 330 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and honey at the top. Feed trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds that carry hives or fertilizer to those farms can be collected straight from the ranch gate; just send the address and say whether the gate is locked.
Sand pits and stone quarries around town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Sunniland Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, just 1.1 miles west of Immokalee, with the Immokalee Division sand and gravel operation 4.1 miles to the north-west and the Immokalee Sand Mine 4.4 miles north. Dump trucks and end dumps that load at those pits often sit at a yard off the quarry road; give us that location and we plan the pickup around it.
Further out, Bell Mine, an industrial-mineral site, is 13.7 miles north-west, and Fort Myers Quarry sits 18.2 miles west, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A tri-axle that runs between those quarries and job sites can be bought from wherever it ends the day. Keep its scale tickets or service book in the cab if you have them.
Small outfits and private fleets
Intrastate work dominates the register: FMCSA’s census counts 364 intrastate carriers in Immokalee against 44 that cross state lines, and 181 of them are private fleets hauling their own goods. A grower’s own truck needs nothing extra to sell; the Florida title in the owner’s name and a matching registration are what we look for.
On the 62 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, a truck here covers a median of 16,500 miles a year. Three of the bigger operations registered in town run 96, 50 and 31 power units, per the federal carrier census. Whether you are selling one pickup-and-trailer rig or several units from a fleet, list each VIN and we will treat each truck on its own.
A 2018 median on Collier roadsides
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 125 trucks from Immokalee checked between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2018. Within that group, 36.8 percent were ten or more model years old, according to the same inspection records.
Whatever the year on your truck, the steps are the same: photograph all four sides, the dash and the data plate, and have the title ready. If the Florida title is lost, apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate before the pickup date and let us know it is on order.
Getting out
Roads, bridges and a newer crop of carriers
The National Bridge Inventory records 13 bridges in Immokalee, and none of them is load-posted or under 14 feet of clearance. A lowboy or a tall reefer can come in and out of town without a detour, so collecting your truck from a field edge or a packing shed is straightforward.
New authorities keep appearing in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 21 Immokalee carriers registered in 2025 after 10 in 2024. If you started one of those operations and are now selling a truck, a recent registration and purchase paperwork make the handover simple.
Farm jobs, building and wholesale
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 847 of 5,072 jobs in Immokalee in 2023, or 16.7 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Wholesale trade adds 375 jobs and construction 255 in that same LEHD tally.
Builders keep 40 construction establishments going around Immokalee, by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed parked at a job site in Immokalee can be collected there; tell us the site address and whether a loader or a person with keys will be present.
