County Line and Spring Hill rock trucks
Drive 6.1 miles north of Meadow Oaks and you reach County Line Mine, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral site. A tandem dump or end-dump tractor that has hauled from that pit can be sold from the yard where it is parked tonight, whether that is beside the county line or in a driveway off a Meadow Oaks street. Send us the street address and a name we can call on the day of pickup.
Georgia Stone Spring Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone site 7.1 miles east according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is a second aggregate source close to town. If your truck carried rock out of Spring Hill, photograph the bed, the hoist, the tailgate and the frame rails along with the cab and the VIN plate. Those shots tell us what kind of body is mounted before we ask a single question.
Kiln trucks and rock haulers toward Brooksville
Further out, Brooksville Quarry is 18.8 miles to the north-east and the Brooksville South Cement Plant sits 19.5 miles away in the same direction, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. Bulk pneumatic tankers and transit mixers that work a kiln site like that one are part of what we purchase, and so is the tractor that pulls the tanker.
For a mixer or a bulk tractor based near the Brooksville plant, gather the title, the current registration and any service log or annual inspection sheet you still have in the cab. A driver who left the company can still sell a truck held in his own name; tell us who holds the keys and where on the property the unit is standing.
Pastures and greenhouses
Stock haulers and nursery box trucks
Pasco County holds 1,190 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its leading lines there are cattle first, then horses, then potted flowering plants. Cattle pots, tractors that pull livestock trailers, flatbeds and straight trucks that run between pastures and sale barns can be collected at the ranch gate, so there is no need to move one into Meadow Oaks first.
Horse operations and nurseries tend to run box trucks and stake-bed straight trucks rather than tractors. If yours carried potted plants or horses, tell us the body length and whether a liftgate, ramp or reefer unit is fitted, and include a photo of the data plate on the door jamb.
The Meadow Oaks title
Getting the certificate of title in order
The certificate of title is the one document every sale needs, and it should carry the seller’s name exactly as it appears on your driver’s licence. If a lender is still shown on it, have the lien release letter ready as well.
A title that has gone missing is replaced through the state’s title agency, so file that request first and then contact us. A registration card, a bill of sale from when you bought the truck and the VIN help us match the paperwork to the unit while the replacement is on its way.
Gate, keys and cab
Collecting from a yard, ranch or pit
A truck in Meadow Oaks may be standing at a home lot, at a farm in the county or inside a quarry gate up toward Brooksville. Whichever it is, give us the exact location, any gate code and the hours when somebody can let a driver in.
Leave the keys with the truck or with the named contact, and clear personal items out of the sleeper or cab beforehand. If the truck sits on a mine property, mention whether visitors need to check in at a scale house, since site rules there are set by the operator.
The questions we get asked in Meadow Oaks
- My dump truck is still parked at the County Line Mine site. Will your driver go in and fetch it from there?County Line Mine is 6.1 miles north of Meadow Oaks on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the site itself. Give us the operator’s contact so the visit is arranged with the people who run the gate.
- My tractor pulls a cattle pot between Pasco ranches. Would you take it along with the pot?Cattle top the Census of Agriculture’s list for the county’s 1,190 farms, and the trucks that move them are ones we purchase. Send the VIN, photos of the tractor and the trailer type it pulled.
