SDI Aggregates and the quarry haul out of North Key Largo
Up the north-west road from North Key Largo, 13.3 miles off, SDI Aggregates LLC works a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. We buy the end-dumps, tri-axle dumps and aggregate-trailer tractors that load at a pit like SDI’s. If yours loads there, tell us so when you get in touch, and send a photo of the body and the hoist along with the cab.
A truck that spends its shifts at a quarry is often parked at the pit or a contractor’s yard rather than at a house on the island. That is fine with us: give us the street address or the yard’s name and a contact who can open the gate, and we bring the pickup to wherever the truck stands.
Mainland side
Homestead ARB, seventeen miles up the road
Homestead ARB, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 17.4 miles due north of town, is the other large site on this stretch of the map. Box trucks, flatbeds and service vehicles that run contract work between the Keys and the base are on our list as well, whatever the body type.
If your truck is kept on the mainland near the base instead of down in North Key Largo, the pickup simply happens there. Send the VIN and the odometer reading first, then four or five clear photos from each side of the truck.
Keys contractors
Builders on North Key Largo and their equipment
Of the 2,519 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place here for 2023, construction accounts for 207, or 8.2 percent. For a contractor winding down a crew truck, a stake bed or a small dump, that is the type of vehicle we take, and one truck from a small outfit is as welcome as several.
In the area, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 86 construction establishments. Many of those firms keep a mix of pickups, flatbeds and dump bodies, and if you are selling more than one, list each unit with its VIN so we can go through them together in one conversation.
North Key Largo trucks at roadside, sorted by year built
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 117 trucks from North Key Largo inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2015. Whether your own truck is older or newer than that midpoint, we look at it the same way, from the photos and the paperwork you send.
Just over half of those 117, 50.43 percent by the count in FMCSA’s roadside inspection records, were ten or more model years old when stopped. Keep the registration card and any inspection or service records in the cab, ready to hand over with the keys.

Overseas Highway is where a lost title gets replaced
In the upper Keys, title work for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles runs through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For sellers in North Key Largo the nearest is the Monroe County motor vehicle service center - Key Largo, at 101487 Overseas Highway, Key Largo, 33037, which the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists 11.8 miles from town.
If the title is missing or still shows a lender, that service center down Overseas Highway is where a duplicate or a lien release gets started. Bring your ID and the VIN, and once the paper is in your name, send us a photo of the front and back so the transfer at collection goes smoothly.
Growers and nurseries
Nurseries and aquatic growers down the Keys
Around North Key Largo, growers raising aquatic plants, corn and potted flowering plants make up the top of the list among Monroe County’s 39 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Nursery operations like those tend to run box trucks and refrigerated straight trucks for moving stock, and we buy both.
If a grower’s truck has a reefer unit or a lift gate, mention it and photograph it with the rest of the truck. Keep the unit’s paperwork with the title so everything goes with the truck on the day we collect it.
