Quarry and cement routes west of Kendall
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Krome Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 7.8 miles west, and Miami Quarry, 9 miles north. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls rock from either pit can stay parked at the yard it works from; give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key.
Miami Cement Plant, 9 miles to the north-west, appears on the same Mine Safety and Health Administration roster alongside Epic Stoneworks, Inc., a dimension-stone quarry 7.1 miles north. Mixer and bulk-cement tractors from these sites sell the same way as any other truck: send the VIN, the title and clear photos of the drum or tank, the frame and the cab.
Rail yards, PortMiami and Homestead
According to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the GENERAL CEMENT rail yard lies 8.9 miles west and the HIALEAH (FEC) yard 10.9 miles north. If your day cab moves loads off either siding, note which yard it works from so we can plan the collection at that spot.
PortMiami is 9.9 miles out on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and Homestead ARB, a military installation, is 11.6 miles south. A container tractor parked near the port or a truck sitting inside a controlled base area needs a contact who can arrange access; put that name and number in your first message.
Kendall’s small-fleet operators and their cargo
General freight is the cargo for 145 of the 238 active Kendall carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census; dry vans and box trucks from those operators are trucks we collect. The same FMCSA census lists 27 Kendall carriers hauling motor vehicles, 17 carrying fresh produce and 16 moving household goods; a car hauler, reefer or moving van from any of them is a truck we collect.
Most of these operators stay inside Florida: the federal carrier census shows 184 intrastate carriers against 54 interstate ones, plus 59 private fleets. For an intrastate truck, have the Florida registration and title in the owner’s name ready before you contact us.
Kendall’s carriers are small outfits. Per FMCSA records, the three biggest run 14, 9 and 9 power units, and 159 carrier filings report drivers working within 100 miles while 179 report drivers going beyond it. A one- or two-truck owner sells the same way a fleet does: one title per truck, one photo set per truck.
What southwest Miami-Dade trucks look like on paper
Between November 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records covered 69 trucks from Kendall carriers, with a median model year of 2013 and 60.9 percent ten or more years old. Any model year is welcome; tell us the year, make and engine when you get in touch.
The median Kendall truck logged 27,778 miles a year across the 45 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census. Read the odometer and photograph it, since that figure is one of the first things we ask for.
New registrations keep coming: the federal carrier census recorded 26 new Kendall carriers in 2025 and 19 in 2024. If your authority is recent and the truck is still financed, tell us who holds the lien so the payoff and title release can be arranged.
Work and growers
Jobs, builders and nurseries around Kendall
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 put 50,401 jobs in Kendall, with 1,041 in wholesale trade, 940 in construction and 768 in transportation and warehousing. Delivery straight trucks and flatbeds from those trades are part of what we collect locally.
Kendall is home to 116 construction establishments, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump body or stake-bed parked at a job site can be picked up there; send the site address and confirm someone can let us in.
Foliage plants top the crop list for Miami-Dade’s 2,664 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, followed by potted flowering plants and cut flowers and greens. Nursery box trucks and reefers that ran plants to market sell here too; include photos of the cargo box and any reefer unit hours.
Clearances on Kendall’s bridges
Of the 63 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in Kendall, none is load-posted and none sits under 14 feet. A tall box or loaded tri-axle can be reached on local streets, so the pickup point is wherever the truck is parked.
For the collection itself, have the keys, the title and a current registration with the truck. If the title is lost, tell us before pickup so the replacement can be requested through Florida’s title agency first.
