Two stone quarries east of Pebble Creek
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Central State Aggregates LLC, a crushed-stone quarry, just 4.2 miles north-east of Pebble Creek. A tri-axle or end dump that loads stone there is often parked at home between shifts, so tell us whether it sits on a residential street or in a gated lot and we will plan the collection around that access.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Kathleen Mine, a second crushed-stone operation 16.3 miles east of town. If your dump truck has split its loads between the two quarries, gather the title, the current Florida registration and a few clear photos of the bed and cab before you call; those three things answer most of what we ask first.
Fuel south-west
Tanker work at the Tampa petroleum terminals
Two petroleum product terminals, TAMPA PT YBOR FL ASPHALT and TAMPA NORTH, appear in Energy Information Administration records 15.5 miles south-west of Pebble Creek. A tractor that pulls fuel or asphalt tankers out of those racks can be sold from your driveway rather than from the terminal.
Asphalt and fuel haulers usually keep terminal paperwork: loading tickets, hazmat endorsements on file, annual inspection reports. Keep copies with the truck when you contact us; they let us see where the tractor has worked alongside the photos.
Containers and tank cars around Tampa’s yards
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Tampa intermodal ramp lies 14 miles south of town. Day cabs that dray containers off that ramp are trucks we buy, with a chassis or without one; say which when you first get in touch.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the UCETA yard is 14.2 miles south and the YEOMAN yard 14.4 miles south. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal, 15.3 miles out. If your tanker tractor has worked that terminal, the VIN and the title in your name are the starting point; we handle the paperwork from there.
Nursery growers and cattle ranches nearby
Across Hillsborough County, where Pebble Creek sits, the 1,992 farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture are led by aquatic plants, then cattle, then transplants. Nursery stock and plant growers lean on box trucks and reefers, while cattle operations run livestock trailers behind conventional tractors.
A farm truck is often registered to the farm rather than to a person. Check whose name is on the Florida title before you call, and if it is a business, have someone who can sign for that business available on the day we collect.
Construction jobs in Pebble Creek itself
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 1,423 jobs located in Pebble Creek in 2023, and 119 of them, or 8.4 percent, were in construction. Contractors working those jobs use flatbeds, dump trucks and service bodies, and many of those trucks belong to small outfits with one or two vehicles.
For a one-truck contractor, the useful things to have ready are the title, the registration, any service records you kept and photos of whatever body or equipment is mounted. Tell us whether it carries a crane, a dump bed or a utility box, so the carrier we send is set up for it.
If the Florida title is missing
Florida titles come from the state’s title agency. If the original for your truck cannot be found, start a duplicate title request with that agency before you sell and keep the receipt with the truck.
If a lender still shows on the title, ask the lender for a lien release first. With the release and a clean title in hand, the sale itself is mostly a matter of signatures and arranging where we meet the truck.
The questions we get asked in Pebble Creek
- Will you collect a dump truck that works the quarry north-east of Pebble Creek?Central State Aggregates sits 4.2 miles north-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from homes, yards and job sites around it. Tell us where the truck is parked and how a carrier can reach it.
- My tractor hauls tankers out of the Tampa terminals; is that a truck you take?Tractors that serve the TAMPA NORTH and Ybor asphalt terminals, 15.5 miles south-west on Energy Information Administration records, are trucks we buy. Have the title and registration ready, along with any inspection reports you keep.
- The truck is registered to my farm, not to me; does that stop the sale?With 1,992 Hillsborough County farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, a truck titled to a nursery or ranch here is nothing unusual. Whoever is authorised to sign for that business signs the title, and the sale goes ahead the same way.
- Do I have to bring the truck down to Tampa?The Tampa intermodal ramp is 14 miles south on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, but you do not need to drive there or anywhere else. We come to Pebble Creek, or to wherever the truck is parked.
