Two stone quarries within a few miles of Lecanto
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Lecanto Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, 0.9 miles south-east of town, and Maylen Mine, another crushed-stone operation, 3.1 miles to the north. A dump truck or tractor that spends its shifts between those two pits may well be parked at a quarry gate rather than at home when you decide to sell. Give us the site name and who can let us onto the property, and we collect it there.
North-east of Lecanto by 10.1 miles, the Manko Co Sec 5 Mine/Phos appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine. If your truck ran loads out of that site, mention it when you first get in touch, along with any site inspection sheets you kept, so our questions start from where the truck actually worked.
The Brooksville South cement plant to the south
Brooksville South Cement Plant lies 16.9 miles south of Lecanto, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Bulk tankers and mixers tied to a plant like that often sit in a yard down in Hernando County instead of in Citrus County; tell us which side of the county line the truck is on and we arrange pickup at that address.
For a cement hauler, photograph the tank or drum, the frame rails and the tires, then the cab and dash with the odometer showing. Send the VIN with those pictures, and keep the registration and title in the cab or with you for the day we arrive.
Private fleets and for-hire outfits registered in Lecanto
Lecanto has 72 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 35 of which haul only their own goods as private fleets. A contractor or nursery that owns a single truck for its own work can sell that truck to us the same way a for-hire operator would.
In FMCSA’s carrier census, 60 of the town’s carriers run intrastate only and 12 cross state lines. An intrastate truck that never left Florida still needs its Florida title and current registration; have both on hand, along with the USDOT number it ran under if it had one.
New registrations show up in the same federal census: 6 carriers were added in 2025 and 3 in 2024. If you started your outfit recently and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender’s name at the outset so the lien release can be lined up with the title transfer.
Equipment, timber and feed on Lecanto trailers
General freight is the cargo listed most often, by 23 Lecanto carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects next at 14. Lowboys and flatbed tractors that move equipment between job sites fit that second group; include the trailer’s details if it is part of the sale and the tractor’s alone if it is not.
Nine carriers in town list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 10 list farm supplies, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Log trucks and farm haulers are often kept on rural land outside Lecanto, so give us directions to the gate and say whether a lowboy or a tow rig can get in and turn around.
Contractors and haulers among Lecanto employers
Of 2,946 jobs sited in Lecanto in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 295 in construction, a tenth of the total. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 34 construction establishments, so a dump truck or flatbed here is as likely to belong to a small contractor as to a hauler.
Transportation and warehousing held 156 of those 2023 jobs, a 5.3 percent share, with manufacturing at 92, in the LEHD figures. If the truck you are selling was a company vehicle, the owner named on the title is the one who signs it over, so bring that person into the conversation before pickup day.
Small fleets that mostly stay close to home
The largest fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census for Lecanto run 11, 7 and 6 power units. Selling two or three trucks from a fleet that size is one conversation with us; list each VIN, and we schedule the collections together.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 88 drivers working within 100 miles and 51 beyond that radius. A dozen Lecanto carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median came to 7,451 miles a truck. State the odometer reading plainly in your first message; it is a figure we record, nothing more.
Citrus County had 602 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and goats as the leading livestock. A stock trailer tractor or farm truck kept on one of those properties can be collected right where it stands.
The questions we get asked in Lecanto
- Will you collect a dump truck sitting at the Lecanto or Maylen quarry?Lecanto Mine sits 0.9 miles south-east of town and Maylen Mine 3.1 miles north, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and collecting from a quarry yard is routine for us. Name the quarry and the person holding the gate key when you write.
- What if my Lecanto truck never hauled outside Florida?Sixty of the 72 Lecanto carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census run intrastate only, so a Florida-only truck is the usual case here. Have its Florida title and registration ready and we handle the rest the same way.
- Do you buy from a Citrus County business that hauls only its own goods?Thirty-five of Lecanto’s carriers in the federal carrier census are private fleets hauling their own goods, and their trucks sell to us just like for-hire equipment. Whichever business is named on the Florida title does the signing.
- Does a truck stored down by the Brooksville South cement plant qualify for pickup?Brooksville South Cement Plant is 16.9 miles south of Lecanto in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we come to the truck wherever it sits. Send the street address and say whether it is on a plant lot or private land.
