Two stone pits within fourteen miles
Alico Road Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 11.1 miles south-east of McGregor. Got a dump truck or tri-axle that hauls rock out of that pit? We collect it at your yard off the quarry route, and it never has to be driven into town.
Thirteen miles due east, the Fort Myers Mine is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a second crushed-stone quarry, 13.1 miles from town. Owners whose trucks split their week between the two pits should send the VIN, a photo of the door plate and a shot of the body or bed, and tell us which site the truck sits at on the day you want it gone.
Further inland
Bell Mine and Corkscrew, out east
Bell Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 19 miles east of McGregor. A haul truck or tractor kept near that site can stay put; give us the gate contact and the hours the yard is open, and our driver works to that.
The Corkscrew sand and gravel operation is 21.3 miles east, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. For a truck parked out that way, put the Florida title and current registration in one envelope, and if the title has gone missing, say so on the first call so the replacement can be started before anyone heads east.
Contractor rigs parked around McGregor
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 1,931 jobs in McGregor, and 209 of them, or 10.8 percent, were in construction. Contractors and owner-operators in that group run dump bodies, flatbeds and box trucks between job sites across the Fort Myers side of the county.
If you work construction here and the truck is parked on a building site rather than at home, tell us the street and who holds the keys. Service records, if you kept them, belong in the cab or attached to the email with your photos.
Growers nearby
Corn, cattle and honey around the county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 813 farms in Lee County, with corn, cattle and honey as the leading products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the flatbeds that move hive pallets all fall within what we purchase from growers here.
Before you reach out, check whose name is on the title: the farm’s, a relative’s or your own. Photos of the cab, the bed or box and the title in the same message keep the questions short.
What to gather before you contact us
Start with the title, the registration and the keys, then add the VIN and odometer reading. A clear picture of each side of the truck, plus one of the dash with the ignition on, covers most of what we would otherwise ask.
Tell us where the truck is: a driveway in McGregor, a contractor’s lot, a farm gate in the county or a pit east of town. We collect from any of those, and knowing the spot lets us plan the trailer and the route ahead of time.
