Stock Island job sites
Construction trucks on Stock Island
Construction accounts for 170 of the 1,122 jobs located on Stock Island in 2023, a 15.2 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer chassis are the kind of equipment that sort of work keeps on the island. If yours is one of them, photograph the body as well as the cab and note what it hauled, whether fill, block or materials for a job site.
A contractor’s truck here is often parked at a yard or a site rather than at a house. When you contact us, give the street address on Stock Island where it sits and the name of whoever holds the key or the gate, so the collection can be set up with them directly.
Have the title in your name and a current registration in the cab. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency handles a replacement; start that request before the truck is collected.
Lower Keys freight
Freight and storage work on the island
The LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau show 54 transportation and warehousing jobs on Stock Island in 2023, 4.8 percent of local employment. Box trucks, straight trucks and tractors working the Lower Keys sit within that group, and each one is a truck we collect from the island.
For a delivery or freight truck, the paperwork that helps most is the title, the registration and any service records you kept. Send the VIN with your photos, and tell us whether the truck is still in daily use or parked for good on the island.
Military installations a few miles away
Dredgers Key-Sigsbee is a military installation about 2.4 miles north-west of Stock Island, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored near the Sigsbee side can be collected where it stands; just tell us whether a pass or escort is needed to reach it.
According to the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing, NAS Key West FL lies around 3.1 miles east. If your truck is parked on or beside the air station, give us the access rules for that gate along with the address, and a contact who can meet the driver.
Monroe County
Nurseries and aquatic growers
Aquatic plants lead the crop list for Monroe County’s 39 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of corn and potted flowering plants. Nursery and growing operations like those use pickups, stake beds and small box trucks to move stock.
If a farm or nursery truck in the county is the one you want to sell, list what it carried and send photos of the bed or body. A title in the farm’s name needs a signature from whoever is authorised to sign for the operation.

Getting a Stock Island truck ready
Start with the VIN, the odometer reading and clear photos of all four sides, the cab and the frame. Add the address on Stock Island or elsewhere in Monroe County where the truck is parked.
Keep the title and registration together and ready to hand over. Inspection reports or service logs from island work are useful too, since they show us what the truck did before we see it.
The questions we get asked in Stock Island
- My dump truck sits at a job site on Stock Island instead of my driveway. Will the driver go to the site?Construction makes up 15.2 percent of Stock Island’s 1,122 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, so trucks parked on sites are common here. Give us the site address and a contact who can let the driver in, and we collect it where it stands.
- My tractor is stored close to the air station gate east of Stock Island. Can a driver still reach it near the base?NAS Key West FL is about 3.1 miles east of Stock Island in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing, and a truck stored near it can be collected there. Tell us the gate or access rules up front so the pickup is arranged around them.
- My Florida title disappeared somewhere in a Keys move. Which office reissues a lost Florida title?A Monroe County truck carrying a Florida title gets its duplicate from the state’s title agency. Lodge that application, and meanwhile email the VIN plus a set of photos so everything else on the sale moves along beside it.
