Pits off the lake road
Moore Haven’s neighbouring sand pits and rock quarries
A dump truck working Boar Hammock Sand Mine, which federal Mine Safety and Health Administration records place 2.8 miles north-west of Moore Haven, is probably parked at a yard or a driveway in town at night. Give us that address and we plan collection around it.
South-west of town, PJM Rock Mine & Aggregates is a crushed-stone quarry 9.2 miles out, and the Stallings Claim quarry is 22.1 miles to the west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck has hauled rock from either one, tell us which site and send photos of the bed, the cab and the frame so we can see the whole truck before we talk further.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Garcia 833 Mine, a sand and gravel operation 15.1 miles south-east. Aggregate haulers from that side of the county can stay where they are; we come out to them.
Refinery spur
The Clewiston Refinery yard down the south-east road
Moore Haven’s nearest rail yard is CLEWISTON REFINERY, 12.4 miles to the south-east on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Trucks that shuttle loads between the yard and the surrounding farms and pits often finish the day near there rather than in town.
If your tractor or straight truck is kept near the Clewiston yard, tell us the nearest road and whether a tow truck can reach it without moving other equipment. That one detail saves a second trip for both of us.
Ninety-three intrastate
Two interstate operators among ninety-five
Only 2 of the 95 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Moore Haven cross state lines; the other 93 run intrastate. For a seller here, that usually means the truck carries Florida plates and Florida registration, so have the current registration card with the title when we come.
Of those 95 carriers, 34 are private fleets moving their own goods, the same federal census shows. A farm or a business that owns one or two trucks for its own work sells to us the same way an independent hauler does: the titled owner signs, and we collect from the property.
General freight is the most common cargo, listed by 49 carriers, with logs, poles, beams and lumber at 19, machinery and large objects at 19, and farm supplies at 14, on FMCSA records. A log truck, a lowboy for equipment or a farm-supply flatbed is as welcome as a dry van; tell us what the truck pulled and what trailer comes with it.
Drivers who stay inside a hundred-mile ring
Across Moore Haven carriers, 236 drivers work within a hundred-mile radius and 124 go beyond it, a split of 236 to 124 drawn from FMCSA’s carrier census. Most local trucks therefore sleep at home most nights, which makes them easy to find on a pickup day.
On FMCSA’s carrier census, the median across 14 local carriers that report annual mileage is 10,800 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading and the VIN written down before you call; those two figures are the first things we ask for.
Multi-unit owners
Three fleets of forty-plus power units
Three fleets based in Moore Haven run 58, 57 and 41 power units, with 40, 22 and 30 drivers, according to FMCSA’s census. An operator with several units to sell can list them together, with each VIN, and we arrange collection unit by unit or all at once from the yard.
Moore Haven added 4 carriers in 2024 and 3 more in 2025, FMCSA’s census shows. A newer operator selling a single truck should have the title in the business or personal name exactly as it reads, since that is the name that signs it over.
Avenue J
A lost title in Moore Haven, half a mile from the center
Titles in Florida come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. Its own office list places the Glades County motor vehicle service center - Moore Haven at 500 Avenue J, Room #101, Moore Haven, 33471, 0.5 miles from the middle of town, per the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
If the title is missing or still shows a lien that has been cleared, a visit to Avenue J for a duplicate or a lien release comes first. Bring the registration and your ID; once the title is in your name and clear, we can collect the truck.
Hogs, soybeans, contractors
Farms, building firms and local jobs
Glades County holds 296 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names hogs, soybeans and sheep as its leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm flatbeds from those operations are trucks we buy; photos of the cab, the bed or body, and the tires are enough to start.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 8 construction establishments here, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put local employment at 464 jobs in 2023. Dump trucks and service bodies from a small contractor can be collected from the job site or the shop, wherever the truck stands.
