Crushed stone and sand east of Iona
ALICO ROAD QUARRY, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 13.1 miles east of Iona, and the same agency places Fort Myers Mine, another crushed-stone quarry, 15.2 miles out in that direction. A dump truck or tractor that has spent its shifts on those haul roads may be sitting at a quarry lot rather than in a driveway in town. Give us the site name and the gate contact, and we arrange collection there.
Farther east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Bell Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, at 21.8 miles and the Corkscrew sand and gravel operation at 23.3 miles. If your truck is parked at one of those yards, photograph the frame, the body and the cab where it stands, and send the VIN with the pictures so we can match them to the title.
Box freight, beams and steel rolls on Iona’s carrier rolls
Half of Iona’s 103 active carriers, 51 on FMCSA’s carrier census, put general freight on their cargo list. Box trucks, day cabs and straight trucks from that kind of work are all trucks we buy, so tell us the body type and the axle setup in your first message.
Fifteen carriers here declare machinery and large objects, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, while 12 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber and another 12 move metal sheets, coils and rolls. If yours is a lowboy tractor, a flatbed rig or a log truck, list the trailer that goes with it and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
New registrations are few in the federal carrier census: 7 Iona carriers were added in 2024 and 2 in 2025. If you started up in one of those years and are now stepping back, keep your USDOT number handy so we can see the truck’s registration history alongside the title.
Staying in state
Mostly Florida routes, close to home
Of Iona’s carriers, 87 run intrastate and 15 interstate in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 44 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the door; tell us whose name is on the title so the paperwork matches the seller.
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 181 against 68 who range farther, on FMCSA’s carrier census figures. A truck that runs local loads around Lee County is usually back in the yard each night, which gives us one fixed address to plan the pickup around.
Seventeen carriers here report mileage to FMCSA, and the median truck among them logs 16,674 miles a year. Read the odometer before you call and include it with the VIN; those two numbers answer most of our first questions.
Iona fleets that match each driver to a truck
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census for Iona run 18, 17 and 10 power units, each with about as many drivers as trucks. Selling several units at once from a fleet that size is something we handle in one conversation; send a list with each VIN and where each truck is parked.
Most other registrations here are smaller outfits, and a single-truck owner gets the same process. Before you call, check that the title names you as owner, find the current Florida registration, and gather whatever maintenance logs the truck has.
How recent the tractors pulled over near Iona tend to be
The middle model year was 2020 for the 27 Iona-based trucks that FMCSA roadside inspection records log from September 2024 through August 2026. Note the model year from the title or the door-jamb sticker when you contact us, since it decides which engine and emissions questions we ask.
A quarter of those stops, 25.9 percent in FMCSA’s inspection records, involved a truck at least ten model years old. Older and newer units are both on the list of what we purchase; tell us the year, make and model, and keep your most recent inspection report with the truck.
Iona job sites, honey farms and cattle pasture
Iona held 4,192 jobs in 2023, of which transportation and warehousing took 353 and construction 291, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Builders show up again in County Business Patterns, which tallies 128 construction establishments for the area. A dump truck, flatbed or mixer from a building job can be collected from the site office or the contractor’s yard; tell us which.
Wholesale trade accounts for 99 jobs and manufacturing for 69 in the same LEHD figures. If your straight truck delivered for one of those employers, send photos of the box, the liftgate and the cab with your first message.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 813 farms in Lee County, with corn, cattle and honey at the top. A farm truck or cattle hauler parked out at a ranch is fine where it is; send the address and tell us whether the gate is locked.
The questions we get asked in Iona
- My dump truck sits at a crushed-stone pit off Alico Road. Must I haul it back to my Iona address before you collect?ALICO ROAD QUARRY is 13.1 miles east of Iona and Fort Myers Mine 15.2 miles, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like those. Tell us which pit and who holds the key to the quarry gate.
- My truck never left Florida roads. Does an in-state-only history matter to you?Iona has 87 intrastate carriers against 15 interstate on FMCSA’s carrier census, so in-state trucks are the norm here. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and your Florida title and we start from there.
- I own a handful of tractors based in Iona. Can I sell all the trucks together?Iona’s three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census run 18, 17 and 10 power units, and fleets that size can sell together. List each truck’s VIN and parking spot, and we arrange them as one sale.
- Which papers should be on the table when I reach out about an Iona truck?With a median model year of 2020 across the 27 Iona trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records, the year is one of the first things we ask. Have the title, the registration, the odometer reading, any service records and a set of photos ready.
