Starkey Road, Largo
Starkey Road help when the Redington Shores title is gone
Florida titles are handled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents rather than its own storefronts. For a Redington Shores owner, the nearest one the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists is the Pinellas County motor vehicle service center - Largo, at 13025 Starkey Road, Largo, 33773, about 5.8 miles from town.
If the title for your truck is lost, or still shows a lender whose loan is closed, that Largo service center is where a duplicate or a lien release gets sorted out. Bring the VIN, your registration and an ID, and tell us at the start whether the paper is in hand so we can plan around it.
When the title is already in your drawer, check that the name on it matches yours exactly and that every owner listed is ready to sign. We only need the paperwork to agree with itself.
Blending and bulk racks
Two Tampa racks and a CITGO dock east of town
Port Tampa Blending Terminal sits 17.4 miles east of Redington Shores and Tampa Terminal 18.3 miles east, both listed as petroleum product terminals by the Energy Information Administration. Tank trucks and tractors that load at those racks are on our list, so say which terminal yours worked from when you write to us.
A little farther out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the CITGO Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal 24.7 miles east. Owners of tank trailers or the tractors that pulled them from there should keep any loading-rack inspection sheets with the truck; they tell us its working history better than a photo does.
Send clear pictures of the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and the tank or trailer, plus the VIN plate. If the truck is parked somewhere other than your home, give us that address instead.
Tracks and clinker
St Petersburg yard and the Tampa grinding plant
Ten point nine miles east of Redington Shores is the St Petersburg rail yard, with the Port Manatee yard 22.6 miles south-east, both mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics keep. Day cabs that shuttle freight off those tracks fit what we purchase.
Tampa Cement Grinding Plant, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, stands 25 miles east. Mixers, bulk cement trailers and dump trucks that haul from it belong on our list; name the plant when you write so our first questions are about that kind of work.
For any of these trucks, the VIN and the odometer reading are the two things to send first. Service records, if you kept them, can follow.
Two gates eastward
Contract hauls to Pinellas Park AFRC or MacDill
Two military installations appear in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings near Redington Shores: Pinellas Park AFRC at 9.8 miles east and MacDill Air Force Base at 20.3 miles east. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that have run contract deliveries to either gate are trucks we collect.
If your truck carried a base access decal or a contractor plate, tell us; it helps us match your description to the registration. We pick up wherever the truck is parked, whether that is a driveway in town or a yard near one of the bases.
Seventy-one site jobs
Dump bodies and stake beds for the town’s builders
Census Bureau LEHD job counts (LODES) record 622 jobs based in Redington Shores in 2023, and 71 of them, an 11.4 percent share, were in construction. Dump trucks, stake beds and work trucks with racks that served those crews are trucks we buy.
For a construction truck, note any body or equipment fitted after the chassis left the factory, such as a crane, a liftgate or a dump body, and include a picture of each. A registration that shows the current body type keeps the paperwork straight.
Potted plants and honey
Nurseries and hives around Pinellas
Pinellas County held 115 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with potted flowering plants, honey and cattle at the top of its list. Nursery growers and beekeepers often run a straight truck or a small flatbed, and those count as commercial trucks to us.
A farm truck may carry agricultural tags instead of standard plates. Tell us which kind yours has, and have the title ready in the same name as the farm or the owner.
