Sand pits and stone quarries around Montura
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Garcia 833 Mine, a sand and gravel operation, 6 miles east of Montura. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that shuttle out of a pit that close often stay parked at the pit or a yard beside it, so tell us the gate it sits behind and who holds the key.
North-west of town, PJM Rock Mine & Aggregates, a crushed-stone quarry, is 9.2 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A truck that has hauled rock from there can be collected on site; send photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate so we know what we are coming out to.
Further out, the Boar Hammock Sand Mine lies 15.1 miles north and Star Quarries 22.4 miles east, both named by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your aggregate truck is parked at either one rather than at home in Montura, give us that address instead; we arrange the pickup where it stands.
Hauling to the Clewiston Refinery yard
Montura is 11.9 miles south-west of the Clewiston Refinery rail yard, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map in the North American Rail Network. Tractors that move loads to and from that yard can be sold from wherever they are parked near it.
If your truck works the yard on a contract, have the title, current registration and any service records together before you call. Those three papers answer most of what we ask about a tractor that has served a rail siding.
Reefers and dry vans
Ten of them list general freight, and four each list refrigerated food, meat and fresh produce, so reefer units and dry vans both have a place in this town’s mix.
If you are selling a reefer tractor or a straight truck with a refrigerated box, mention the unit on the back when you get in touch. Photos of the box, the reefer unit and the cab together tell us the whole truck at once.
Intrastate hauls and out-of-state runs from Montura
In FMCSA’s carrier census, 14 of the Montura carriers are intrastate and 2 cross state lines, with 2 counted as private fleets. The same census shows 10 carriers with drivers who stay within 100 miles and 12 with drivers who go beyond that radius.
That spread means a truck for sale here may be home in Montura or out on a run when you decide to sell. Tell us where it will be parked on the day you want it gone, and we work to that location.
The biggest Montura fleets in FMCSA’s census are small: one with 6 power units and 6 drivers, then two single-truck operators. An owner-operator selling a lone tractor can handle the sale directly with us, with the title in hand and the registration in the same name.
Trucks stopped for inspection near Montura
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records log 215 trucks from this area. Those same inspection records give a median model year of 2012, with 66.5 percent ten or more model years old at inspection.
Whatever year your truck is, the paperwork is the same: the title, the registration and any inspection reports you have kept. Send a recent roadside inspection report along with photos, since it records the truck’s details from an official stop.
Contractor yards and Hendry County cattle farms
Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from contractors can be collected from a job site or a contractor’s yard, so long as someone there can show it to our driver.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 392 farms in Hendry County, with cattle, horses and honey named first among them. Livestock haulers, farm trucks and flatbeds that work those operations are often parked on the property itself; send us the farm address and a contact on site.
If a title has gone missing, the state’s title agency is the office that issues a replacement. Start that request early and tell us it is under way, so the sale is ready to close once the new title arrives.
