Limestone pits west and north-east of the Newberry town line
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Newberry Cement Plant as a crushed-stone quarry 0.7 miles west of town, and NEWBERRY MINE- LIMESTONE MATERIALS as a second one 1.7 miles to the north-east. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauled from either site, tell us whether it now sits on quarry ground or at your own yard before we schedule a pickup.
If the truck is inside a quarry fence, we need a name and phone number for whoever can let a driver through, plus the site’s own entry rules if it has any. Gather the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, and send them together so the details about a limestone hauler arrive in one message.
General freight, heavy machinery, timber and coil out of Newberry
Seventy active motor carriers list Newberry as home on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 39 of them mark general freight as cargo they handle. The same FMCSA census shows 21 declaring machinery and large objects; if your tractor pulled that kind of load, say so and send a photo of the hitch and any trailer that goes with it.
Timber shows up plainly as well: 14 carriers on the federal census record logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 12 record metal sheets, coils and rolls. A log truck with its own loader, or a flatbed set up for coil, should be described with that equipment named, since a knuckle boom or coil racks are part of what we look at when you send the VIN.
Mostly in-state, mostly short runs
According to FMCSA, 61 of the town’s carriers operate intrastate only, against 9 authorised to cross state lines, and 36 are private fleets hauling their own goods. For a truck that has stayed inside Florida, the Florida title and registration are the two documents we ask for first, so locate both before you call.
Seventeen carriers here reported annual mileage to the federal carrier census, and their median comes to 31,889 miles per truck. Have the current odometer reading written down along with the VIN when you get in touch; with those two numbers we can start on any tractor or straight truck from Newberry.
Newberry outfits running thirteen to forty-one power units
Registrations on FMCSA’s census show three of the bigger outfits in town running 41, 39 and 13 power units, with 23, 30 and 11 drivers respectively. A business with a dozen or more units to sell can send a single list of VINs, unit numbers and yard locations, and we will work through the whole group in one conversation instead of truck by truck.
New authorities keep appearing too: the carrier census logged 6 new carriers based in Newberry during 2024 and 4 during 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now selling the truck you started with, the title in your name or your company’s name is what matters, along with any lien release if it was financed.
Newberry tractors at the checkpoint: a 2021 middle year
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 through August 2026 caught 74 Newberry-based trucks at checkpoints, with 2021 as their middle model year. Those same inspection records show 35.1 percent of the units were ten or more model years old; whichever side of that line yours falls on, the year, make and model off the title are what we need to begin.
Keep your most recent inspection report and any service invoices in the cab or in a folder you can photograph. They give us the truck’s history in its owner’s own records, and they help when a unit has changed hands inside a family business or between two local companies.
Contractor yards, plant floors and cattle pasture around Newberry
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 4,427 jobs in Newberry for 2023, with 461 in construction and 437 in manufacturing; County Business Patterns from the same bureau lists 69 construction establishments. If a contractor’s dump truck or flatbed is parked at a job site rather than the shop, give us the site address and a contact on site.
In the 2022 Census of Agriculture, USDA counted 1,712 farms across Alachua County, with cattle, propagative material and corn leading the list, and LEHD shows 86 local jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. A cattle hauler, grain truck or nursery delivery truck on a farm outside town can stay right where it is; send a pin or directions to the barn and tell us if the gate is locked.
Getting a Newberry truck’s Florida title in hand
A Florida commercial truck changes hands on its Florida certificate of title, signed by every owner listed on it. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues duplicates, and you can apply for one before you contact us so the sale is not waiting on it.
Alongside the title, have the registration, the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of all four sides and the cab interior ready. For a truck that has spent its working life between the Newberry quarries and Alachua County farm roads, those six things are enough for us to begin.
The questions we get asked in Newberry
- Our dump truck still sits beside the Newberry Cement Plant pit; does somebody have to haul it out first?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places that quarry 0.7 miles west of Newberry, and we collect from there or from any yard nearby. Give us a contact who can open the gate and tell us where on the property the truck is sitting.
- Would you take a Newberry log truck with a loader still mounted on it?Fourteen Newberry carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber on FMCSA’s census, and their trucks are among those we purchase. Send the VIN, the title details and photos showing the loader or bunks along with the cab.
- Which papers matter for a Newberry tractor that never left Florida on its runs?Like 61 of Newberry’s carriers on FMCSA’s census, an intrastate-only truck sells on its Florida title and current registration. Have both ready, plus the odometer reading and the VIN.
- Can a Newberry fleet hand over a whole row of trucks in one sale?Newberry fleets on FMCSA’s census run as many as 41 power units, and we handle a group in one go. Send a list of the VINs, the unit numbers and where each one is parked.
