Goldhead and Grandin sand plants outside town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Goldhead Sand Plant, a sand and gravel operation, about 5 miles north-east of Keystone Heights, and Grandin Sand Plant just under 8 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dumps between those pits and job sites are trucks we buy. If yours is parked at a plant gate rather than at home, tell us which plant and who can let a driver in.
Farther south-east, Edgar Minerals, Inc. and KEUKA SAND PLANT appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings as industrial-mineral mines, 14.3 and 16.6 miles from town. A truck that has hauled from either site can stay where it sits; send photos of the cab, the bed or trailer, the frame and the tires, along with the VIN, and we plan the collection around that location.
Haulers on the FMCSA roll
Intrastate haulers, private fleets and a few that cross state lines
On FMCSA’s carrier census, Keystone Heights has sixty-six active carriers registered. Of those, FMCSA’s records show 53 running intrastate only, 13 crossing state lines, and 26 operating as private fleets that move their own goods. Whichever group your truck belongs to, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title, the current registration, and any service records you have kept.
General freight is the most common cargo, with 27 carriers listing it, while 12 haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, 11 carry farm supplies and 11 move motor vehicles, according to that same federal census. A log truck, a car hauler or a farm-supply flatbed from this corner of Clay County is as welcome as a dry van tractor. Tell us what the truck pulled and which trailer, if any, goes with it.
Fleets here are small: FMCSA’s census shows the biggest local operation with 9 power units and 4 drivers, the next with 5 units and 2 drivers, and a third with 3 units. An owner-operator selling a single tractor and a family outfit selling two or three trucks at once follow the same steps; list each VIN, and we arrange collection for all of them.
Keystone Heights drivers who stay on short routes
Most drivers counted for Keystone Heights carriers work close in: FMCSA’s carrier census records 538 on short-radius operations against 46 who range farther. A truck that spends its days on local routes is usually parked in a yard, a driveway or a job site nearby. Send us that spot along with the name and number of the person keeping its keys in Keystone Heights.
New registrations have picked up lately, with 10 carriers added in 2025 compared with 3 in 2024 on FMCSA’s census. If you bought a truck recently to start an operation and have decided to sell it, bring the title and the bill of sale you received, and if a lender is still on the title, have the lender’s name and contact details ready.
Stock and nursery
Farm trucks from cattle and nursery country
Keystone Heights farm country runs on livestock and plants: across Clay County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 326 farms, with cattle, propagative material such as nursery stock, and horses leading the list. Stock trucks, horse haulers and flatbeds that carry nursery loads are all trucks we take. If a trailer is part of the sale, include its own title or registration.
A farm truck often sits in a pasture or behind a barn rather than in a paved lot. That is fine; tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle in wet weather and whether a gate needs unlocking, and send a photo showing where the truck is parked.
Contractors’ trucks and the jobs base in Keystone Heights
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts the construction trades around Keystone Heights at 35 establishments, from site work to building. Contractors’ dump trucks, stake beds and service bodies are part of what we buy; if equipment such as a crane, a lift gate or a tool body is mounted on the truck, mention it when you reach out.
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) place 425 jobs in Keystone Heights, a town of 1,576 residents. If your business is closing or downsizing and several work trucks need to go, list them together and we will handle each title separately.
Clerk in town
Replacing a lost Florida title without leaving town
Titles in this state are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and the Clay County motor vehicle service center - Keystone Heights, at 7380 State Road 100, Suite #10, is 0.7 miles from the center of town. That office is one of the county tax collector service centers and license plate agents that handle title work for the department. If your title is missing, apply there for a duplicate before the sale.
Bring the truck’s VIN, your identification and, if a lender once held the title, the lien release it sent you. Once the duplicate is in hand, the rest of the sale follows the same steps as any other truck.
