Rock pits to the south
Two stone quarries about fourteen miles down the road
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Perry Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 14.3 miles south of Wacissa, and CYD Cabbage Grove, another crushed-stone site just a tenth of a mile farther at 14.4 miles. If your dump truck or tri-axle has been hauling rock out of either pit, tell us which one and what body it carries, so we know the equipment before we see it.
A quarry truck may be parked at the pit gate or a nearby yard rather than at home in Wacissa. Give us the exact spot where it sits now and whether a lowboy can pull in beside it; we collect from wherever it is.
West to the capital
Rail freight and a reserve center on the Tallahassee side
According to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the TALLAHASSEE rail yard sits 19.6 miles west of Wacissa. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a yard like that are the kind of tractor we buy, so mention if yours has done that work and send a photo of the fifth wheel with the cab shots.
Slightly beyond the yard, at 20.8 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NRC-MCRC Tallahassee, a military installation. A box truck or straight truck that has serviced a site like this sells the same way as any other: the VIN, a clear title and a handful of photos from all four sides start the conversation.
Grain trucks and cotton haulers on Jefferson County farms
Around Wacissa, farm work is the steady trade: Jefferson County counted 597 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, cotton and propagative material at the top of the list. Grain trucks, flatbeds that move module cotton and straight trucks with stake beds all come off places like these, and we take every one of them.
A farm truck often lives in a shed or a field edge for most of the year. When you reach out, say whether it is behind a gate, how wide the lane is, and whether the ground is dry enough for a carrier, and include photos of the bed or body along with the cab and the VIN plate.
A duplicate Florida title before the Wacissa pickup
Florida titles are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which handles the counter work through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. A Wacissa owner whose title has gone missing requests the duplicate there before the sale; the agency’s liens and titles page sets out the paper title process.
Start that request as soon as you decide to sell, whether the truck is parked at home in Wacissa or at a quarry gate 14.3 miles south, the distance the Mine Safety and Health Administration gives for Perry Quarry. If a lender still shows on the title, ask the lienholder for the release early, and keep the current registration beside the title for the handover.
A Wacissa checklist
What to gather for a Wacissa truck
For a dump truck from the Perry-area quarries or a tractor that runs west toward Tallahassee, the same short list helps: the VIN, the odometer reading, the title, the registration and any service or inspection records you have kept.
For a truck parked out on a rural lot, good photos do most of the explaining. Shoot the cab inside and out, the frame rails, the tires on every axle and the body or fifth wheel, then send them with the address where we will pick the truck up.
The questions we get asked in Wacissa
- Will you come out to a truck parked near the Perry Quarry?Perry Quarry sits 14.3 miles south of Wacissa on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect trucks at quarry yards like it as readily as from a driveway. Give us the location and access details and we plan the pickup there.
- My truck’s title is lost - which Jefferson County office replaces it?Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents, so a Jefferson County tax collector office is the place to start a replacement before the sale.
- Do you buy farm trucks used for cotton and soybeans?Soybeans and cotton head the crop list for Jefferson County’s 597 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and grain trucks, flatbeds and stake-bed trucks from that work are all trucks we purchase.
