Quarry trucks around the Mazak and St Catherine pits
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Mid-Coast Aggregates LLC-Mazak Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, 4.2 miles east of Webster, and the St Catherine Mine another crushed-stone pit 7.2 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls rock out of either one is often parked at the pit or a yard nearby when the owner decides to sell, and we collect it from there.
Before calling, photograph the dump body, the hoist and the cab, and note the VIN from the door jamb. If the truck sits inside a quarry gate, tell us who can open it and on which days, so the pickup can be arranged with the site.
Bulk haulers between Sumterville and Brooksville
Ten miles north, give or take, the Sumterville Cement Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records at 9.9 miles from town, and the Brooksville South Cement Plant sits 22.8 miles west. Pneumatic tankers and mixer trucks that shuttle between those two plants and job sites are welcome, with or without the trailer.
Toward the east, the same Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the Okahumpka industrial-mineral mine 13.5 miles north-east, the Astatula Sand Plant 20.4 miles east and the Independent Mine 22.1 miles east. If a sand hauler is kept at one of those operations, give us the plant name and the gate it enters by; that tells our driver where to go.
According to the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the WILDWOOD rail yard lies 18.2 miles north of Webster. Day cabs that move freight on and off that yard fit what we purchase.
Have the registration and any service records together in one folder before we talk. A tractor that has run yard moves is easier to describe when the paperwork shows its maintenance history, and the folder travels with the truck when we load it.
Owner-operators in town
Seventy-nine registered operators near Webster
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 79 active carriers based around Webster; 66 of them run intrastate, 11 cross state lines and 29 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Florida-only work is the norm here, so the truck is usually within reach of the county when we pick it up.
General freight is listed by 40 of those carriers, farm supplies by 17, and logs, poles and lumber by 15, with machinery and large objects also at 15, all on the federal census. Flatbeds, log trailers and lowboys built for that cargo are trucks we buy.
Fleets in town are small: the federal census shows the biggest at six power units and four drivers, with two others at five. An owner-operator selling one truck is the typical seller here, and we handle a single unit the same way as a set.
Webster’s split between short and long hauls
Among carriers reporting to FMCSA, 58 keep drivers inside a hundred-mile radius and 57 send them beyond it. Thirteen carriers report annual mileage, and FMCSA’s figures put their median at 52,000 miles per truck.
Read the odometer and photograph it with the dash lit up. That one picture, along with the VIN, answers most of what we ask first.
Pasture and nurseries
Cattle pots and nursery box trucks
Sumter County holds 1,117 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, potted flowering plants and horses at the top of its list. Cattle pots, pickups that tow horse trailers and box trucks carrying nursery stock are all trucks we purchase where they are kept.
Webster itself is a small job market: the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 284 jobs located in town in 2023. A farm truck parked in a pasture or barn is fine to sell from there; send us the farm address and a note on the gate.
Florida’s titles are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and Sumter County sellers deal with it through a county tax collector service center or license plate agent. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the nearest as the Sumter County motor vehicle service center - Bushnell, at 220 E McCollum Ave, Bushnell, 33513, about 5.5 miles from Webster.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate there before we schedule collection, and bring your ID and the VIN. Should a lender still hold a lien, bring the release letter to the Bushnell counter as well.
