Alico Road stone and the pits east of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists ALICO ROAD QUARRY, a crushed-stone operation, 4.4 miles east of San Carlos Park, with Fort Myers Mine, another crushed-stone quarry, 6.4 miles out in the same direction. If your dump truck or tractor has been hauling aggregate between those quarries and Lee County jobs, tell us which pit it loaded at and whether it is parked on site or at home, so we know which gate to come through.
Further out, Bell Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, sits 13.6 miles east and the Corkscrew sand and gravel operation 14.2 miles east, according to MSHA’s mine listings. A truck left at either one can be collected there; send the address, a contact who can let us in, and photos of the bed, the frame and the cab.
South-east of town, 846 Mine LLC, a sand and gravel operation 19.3 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, rounds out the pits within reach. Wherever your rig last loaded, keep the title and registration in hand before you call us, since those two papers settle most of what follows.
A town where four in ten jobs are building
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed 1,753 of San Carlos Park’s 4,303 jobs in construction, a 40.7 percent share that keeps dump bodies and equipment trailers on Lee County roads. Dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers from that work are all trucks we purchase; tell us the body type and the make when you first get in touch.
Lee County builders based in San Carlos Park number 153 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck belongs to one of those outfits and the business is the titled owner, have someone who can sign for the company ready, along with the registration in the business name.
Manufacturing adds 246 jobs and wholesale trade 249, while transportation and warehousing holds 170, per the same LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks from those shops are just as welcome as the heavier equipment from the building trades.
Intrastate haulers and private fleets off Alico Road
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 115 active carriers here, and 102 of them operate intrastate only, against 13 that cross state lines. For a Florida-only operator, the Florida title and registration are usually the only papers we need to begin, plus any service records you kept.
Forty of those carriers run private fleets hauling their own goods, as FMCSA’s carrier census records them. If your truck moves your own company’s materials rather than freight for hire, mention it, and tell us where the truck is usually parked between jobs.
Ten new carriers registered in 2024 and another ten in 2025 on FMCSA’s census. An owner-operator who started recently can sell just as easily; have the title, the lien release if the truck was financed, and clear photos of every side.
General freight, machinery, refuse and lumber
General freight is the cargo listed by 74 local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects listed by 16. A tractor pulling a lowboy or a dry van from either line of work is a truck we buy; give us the VIN and the odometer reading first.
Garbage and refuse is hauled by 10 carriers here, and 10 more carry logs, poles, beams and lumber, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For a roll-off, packer or log truck, send photos of the hoist, the packer body or the bunks as well as the cab, so what we see matches what you describe.
Lee County had 813 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and honey leading. A farm truck or livestock hauler parked on county acreage can be collected from the farm itself; tell us the road and whether a heavy truck can get to it.
Roadside stops, odometers and driving radius
Across 53 trucks inspected here between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020, with 32 percent ten or more years old. Whichever side of that split your truck falls on, the model year, make and engine are the first three things to send us.
Twenty-three carriers here report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, and their median is 35,000 miles per truck. Note your own odometer reading when you contact us, and keep any inspection reports with the truck’s other papers.
The carrier census also counts 120 drivers working within 100 miles and 111 working beyond it. A truck that is out on a run when you decide to sell can be collected once it is back in Lee County or wherever it ends up; tell us where it will be.
The questions we get asked in San Carlos Park
- Our tri-axle sits in the yard at ALICO ROAD QUARRY; does it have to come home before you collect?ALICO ROAD QUARRY is 4.4 miles east of San Carlos Park on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from there. Give us the name of whoever runs the quarry gate on Alico Road and we plan the collection with them.
- I run a small construction outfit here. Can the company sell its truck?The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 153 construction establishments in San Carlos Park, and a company-titled truck sells the same way as a personal one. Have the title, the registration and someone authorised to sign for the business.
- Our San Carlos Park rig has never left Florida; does an intrastate history change anything?Of the 115 active carriers here in FMCSA’s carrier census, 102 are intrastate only, so a Florida-only truck is the usual case. The Florida title and registration are what we need to start.
- Will you collect a corn or cattle truck from a Lee County farm?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 813 farms in Lee County, and farm trucks from any of them are trucks we purchase. Send the location, photos and the title.
