Point Baker payrolls
Site crews on the Point Baker payroll
Of the 223 Point Baker jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, construction held 108, a 48.4 percent slice of local work. Dump trucks, flatbeds and water trucks tied to site work around Point Baker are the kind we collect, so start by telling us what the truck hauled and which job it last sat on.
With nearly half of the 223 local jobs counted by LEHD in 2023 falling under construction, a truck here may be parked at a contractor’s yard or a job site rather than a driveway. Give us that address and a contact who can open the gate, and send the title, the registration and any service records you keep in the cab.
South and west pits
Loading out at the Quikrete and Molino pits
Quikrete Mine, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 7.5 miles south of Point Baker. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer worked the loading face there, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together with the title.
Molino Pit, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists as a sand and gravel operation, is 17.9 miles to the west. A truck that runs between that pit and Santa Rosa County jobs can be picked up at either end, so tell us where it will be parked on the day.
Between two airfields
Parking near Whiting Field or Spencer
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, NAS Whiting Field at Milton is 2.5 miles north-east of Point Baker, and NOLF Spencer is 6.7 miles to the south-west. Both are military installations, and a truck parked inside either one cannot be collected without access, so move it to an outside address first.
Living between Whiting Field and NOLF Spencer means a short drive in either direction, 2.5 miles one way and 6.7 the other on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ listing. Tell us the nearest public road to your truck and whether a tractor and trailer can turn around there.
Fuel racks south-west
Pensacola terminals to the south-west
Twenty-two miles south-west of Point Baker, the petroleum product terminal PENSACOLA TPSI shows up in Energy Information Administration listings as a fuel rack for the area. Tank trucks and tractors that have loaded at a fuel rack like that are on our list; bring the VIN, the odometer reading and any tank inspection certificates you hold.
Trans Montaigne, a liquid bulk terminal 22.1 miles south-west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, sits beside that fuel rack. If your tanker trailer is stored near the terminals rather than at home in Point Baker, give us both addresses and say which unit sits where.
Freight yards
Shuttling to GOULDING and the Pensacola yard
Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, within reach of Point Baker: GOULDING at 19 miles south-west and PENSACOLA at 22.3 miles south-west. Chassis, flatbeds and tractors that shuttle freight to those yards can be collected from wherever they are parked.
Should your rig spend its nights near the GOULDING or PENSACOLA yard rather than in Santa Rosa County, both of which sit south-west on the rail network’s map, send that location along with the title so we can line up the pickup there.
Cotton, cattle and horses in Santa Rosa County
Cotton leads, ahead of cattle and equine, among the 732 Santa Rosa County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and horse trailers pulled by a tractor around Point Baker are all trucks we take, and a farm-plated truck still needs its title in hand.
A farm truck may be kept in a barn or a field lot. Cattle and equine both rank near the top for the 732 Santa Rosa County farms in USDA’s 2022 census, so tell us if the truck is parked behind a pasture gate and who can let us through.
The questions we get asked in Point Baker
- Will you pick up a dump truck at the Quikrete pit south of Point Baker?Quikrete Mine is 7.5 miles south of Point Baker on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we can arrange collection at the pit or wherever you park the truck once the site lets us in. Send the address, the title and photos of the bed and cab.
- How does pickup work if the truck sits on NAS Whiting Field?NAS Whiting Field sits 2.5 miles north-east of Point Baker, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and it is a military installation, so move the truck to an outside address before pickup and tell us where it is.
- My title went missing somewhere around Point Baker; which office issues a new one?In Point Baker a replacement comes from the state’s title agency for Florida; apply there, and send us the registration and VIN meanwhile so the rest of the paperwork is ready when the new title arrives.
- Does Big Ugly Truck take cotton and cattle trucks off Santa Rosa County farms?Santa Rosa County’s 732 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lean toward cotton, cattle and horses, and the grain trucks and livestock haulers those farms use are trucks we collect. Photos of the bed or box and the title are what to gather first.
