Punta Gorda road quarries
SRM and Jayrock, eight miles up the road
SRM Materials Punta Gorda, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 7.6 miles north-west of Olga according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A tri-axle dump or a tractor with an end-dump trailer that has spent its days loading there is exactly the kind of equipment we collect. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the VIN off the door jamb before you call.
Jayrock, another crushed-stone quarry, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration at 8.1 miles in the same north-west direction. If your truck is still parked at a quarry yard rather than at home, tell us whose gate it is behind and who can let a driver in, so the collection is set up with the site and not just with you.
Sand, gravel and mineral sites around the county line
Bermont Excavating Site 2, a sand and gravel operation, is 16.4 miles north of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, while Tomahawk 29 Mine, also sand and gravel, is 17.4 miles east. Haulers that shuttle fill between pits like these and Lee County job sites often stay parked near the pit between loads. Send us that address; the truck can stay where it sits.
Bell Mine sits 13.4 miles south-east of Olga and Halls Mine 17.2 miles north, each recorded as an industrial-mineral mine by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Water trucks, lowboys and service bodies that worked those sites are welcome. Gather whatever logs or inspection sheets came with the job and keep them with the title.
Builders and distributors on the Olga payroll
Of Olga’s 791 jobs in 2023, construction held 124, a 15.7 percent share, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. That points to dump trucks, flatbeds, crew cabs and small cranes. Whatever body sits on the chassis, describe it plainly and include a photo of the plate or the manufacturer tag on the equipment.
Wholesale trade accounts for another 67 jobs, 8.5 percent of the total, in those same 2023 LEHD figures. Box trucks, reefers and straight trucks with lift gates fit that kind of work. Have the registration handy and tell us the gross weight rating printed on the door sticker.
Groves, herds and hives
Ranch, field and apiary trucks around Olga
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 813 farms in the county around Olga, with corn first, then cattle and honey; grain trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds that move hives or feed all belong in that picture, and we collect from a barn lot or a pasture gate as readily as from a paved yard.
Around Olga, a ranch or apiary truck may still be titled to a relative or a farm partnership rather than to the person driving it. Before you contact us, check whose name is printed on the title; if it is not yours, the state’s title agency handles transfers and replacement copies, and sorting that out first keeps the sale simple.
What to have ready before the call
The title in your name, the current registration and a handful of clear photos cover most of what we ask. If the title has gone missing, apply for a duplicate through the state’s title agency; it serves Lee County owners the same as anyone else in Florida.
Service records and any inspection reports are useful but not required. If the truck has hauled stone out of the Punta Gorda quarries or fill from the Bermont pit, mention it when you get in touch, along with where the truck is parked today.
The questions we get asked in Olga
- Will a driver come out to SRM or Jayrock for a dump truck left in the quarry yard?SRM Materials Punta Gorda and Jayrock sit 7.6 and 8.1 miles north-west of Olga on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a quarry yard is a normal pickup spot for us. Pass along the name of whoever runs the scale house or yard so access is settled ahead of the visit.
- Is a cattle trailer rig from a Lee County ranch something you buy?Lee County has 813 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, cattle among the top three, so livestock haulers and farm flatbeds come up often here and we take them. Bring the title and a few photos of the body and frame.
- Where does an Olga owner get a duplicate of a misplaced title?Olga owners apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate, as everyone in Lee County does. Start that application, tell us it is under way, and we can talk through the rest of the sale in the meantime.
