Quarries west and north
Stone, cement and the trucks that haul them
Krome Quarry, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 4.6 miles west of Kendale Lakes, with the Miami Quarry 6.4 miles north. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled aggregate out of those pits can be collected at the yard where it is parked, so send us that address with the VIN.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Miami Cement Plant 5.5 miles north and Epic Stoneworks, a dimension-stone quarry, 7.1 miles to the north-east. Mixers, bulk tankers and flatbeds tied to that cement and cut-stone work are all trucks we buy; photograph the drum, tank or deck along with the cab and the plate on the door jamb.
Nearly seven in every hundred local jobs are in construction, 441 of 6,416 counted for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 94 construction establishments. If your truck belonged to a contractor’s yard, have the registration in the company name and a signed letter from whoever can authorise the sale.
Rail sidings, the Hialeah yard and PortMiami
On the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the GENERAL CEMENT rail yard sits 5.2 miles west, and the HIALEAH (FEC) yard 10.2 miles to the north-east. A tractor that shuttled loads to either siding can stay where it is; give us the gate contact and we plan the collection around their hours.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places PortMiami 8.7 miles from town and the Miami intermodal ramp 10.9 miles north-east. For a day cab that has pulled containers off the docks or the ramp, the title, current registration and any annual inspection reports are the three documents to gather first.
Container chassis work is mostly short-haul, and by FMCSA’s carrier census 203 drivers working for carriers based here stay within 100 miles while 369 travel beyond that. Whichever group your truck falls into, tell us the city it is parked in today rather than where it is registered.
Box trucks, straight trucks and sleeper tractors in that freight work make up much of what owners here can sell to us.
Fifty carriers in the same FMCSA census haul motor vehicles, 23 move machinery and large objects, and 22 carry refrigerated food. For a car hauler, a lowboy setup or a reefer unit, send photos of the trailer equipment and its serial plate as well as the tractor.
According to FMCSA, 268 local carriers work intrastate only, 68 cross state lines and 46 are private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck titled to a business needs an officer of that business to sign, so have that person available when we arrange the paperwork.
Model years and fleet sizes on the road here
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026, covering 188 trucks from carriers here, show a median model year of 2016, with half of them ten or more years old. Whatever year your truck is, the model year, make and VIN on the title are what we ask for first.
In FMCSA’s census the biggest registered fleet here has 95 power units, the next 18, and the third six. Selling one truck from a fleet or several at once works the same way, one title and one set of photos per truck.
Sixty Kendale Lakes carriers report annual mileage to FMCSA, and their trucks log a median of 26,356 miles each. Note the odometer reading in your first message so the details we confirm at collection match what you sent.
A Florida title, nursery haulers and recent startups
New registrations keep coming: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 23 carriers starting here in 2024 and 25 in 2025. An owner-operator who bought a truck recently should check that the title has actually been transferred into their own name before contacting us.
If a title has gone missing, Florida’s title agency issues the duplicate, and the owner shown on the record applies for it. Start that request before arranging a sale, since the signed title is the document that transfers the truck.
Miami-Dade County had 2,664 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers at the top of the list. Nursery box trucks and refrigerated straight trucks from that trade are welcome; tell us whether the reefer unit has its own hour meter and send a photo of it.
The questions we get asked in Kendale Lakes
- I drive containers between PortMiami and the rail ramp. Which documents open the conversation?The VIN, a photo of the title and the current registration. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts PortMiami 8.7 miles away and the Miami intermodal ramp 10.9 miles away, and we can collect near either.
- My company’s truck is registered under the business, so which officer signs the Florida title over?An officer of the business named on the title. FMCSA counts 46 private fleets based in Kendale Lakes, and each of their trucks transfers with a signature from the titled company.
