Spring Hill stone and the County Line pit
Only 4.1 miles south-west of Masaryktown, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Georgia Stone Spring Hill Quarry as a working crushed-stone site. If your dump truck or tri-axle has hauled rock out of that gate, tell us the body length and the axle setup when you first get in touch, and send photos of the bed, the tailgate and the cab from both sides.
Farther west, the County Line Mine sits 6.6 miles out and is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral site. A truck that worked either pit may still be parked at a yard near the haul road rather than at your house; give us that address and we will collect it from there.
Cement and crushed stone north of Masaryktown
Heading north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Brooksville Quarry 10 miles away and the Brooksville South Cement Plant just beyond it at 10.4 miles. Mixer owners and bulk-tanker drivers who ran loads from that plant can sell to us directly; note the drum or tank make and its serial plate in the photos you send.
Owner-operators who split their week between the Brooksville quarry and jobs down in Spring Hill often keep the truck at a job site. Wherever it sits, have the keys, the registration card and any service log in one place so the person who comes for it can confirm the VIN and load it without a second trip.
The tax collector counter on Brooksville’s Main Street
In Hernando County, as across Florida, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles hands title work to county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For a Masaryktown seller, the nearest one the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists is the Hernando County motor vehicle service center - Brooksville, at 20 North Main St., Room #112, Brooksville, 34601, about 9 miles from town.
A missing certificate can be replaced at that Brooksville counter before the sale. If a lender still appears on your title, bring the lien release along; the Main Street office records it and prints a title in your name, and that title is the document we need in hand at collection.
Masaryktown’s goat, horse and cattle trailers
Around Masaryktown and the rest of Hernando County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 761 farms, and it ranks cattle, equine and goats as the leading livestock there. Ranch hands and horse owners here often run a heavy-duty pickup or a medium-duty flatbed to move animals, hay and fencing, and we purchase those as readily as a tractor-trailer.
If the truck you are selling pulled a gooseneck or a livestock trailer, say whether the hitch stays with it or comes off. Send a photo of the bed, the hitch plate and the door sticker carrying the VIN, and add the farm gate’s location.
Gravel lots and gates
Handing over a truck off the Masaryktown back roads
Between the pits to the south-west and the plant to the north, many trucks here sit on gravel lots or open pasture, so a short note on how the gate opens and whether a lowboy can turn around saves the crew guessing. A pin dropped on a map works as well as a street address on these county roads.
On the day itself, the signed Florida title, a photo ID that matches the name on it, and the keys are what we take. Leave personal items out of the cab and pull the plate if you want to keep it or surrender it to the Brooksville tax collector counter.
