Rock, block and cement north of West Perrine
Krome Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8.9 miles north-west of West Perrine, is the closest aggregate pit to town. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled rock off the Krome pit is often parked at a contractor’s yard rather than at home, so tell us the yard’s address and who holds the gate key.
Further up, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Miami Quarry at 13.3 miles north and the Miami Cement Plant at 12.9 miles north. Mixers and bulk cement tractors that loaded at those two sites are trucks we collect; have the registration and any service invoices for the drum or the pneumatic tank together before we talk.
Epic Stoneworks, Inc., a dimension-stone quarry 11.4 miles north per Mine Safety and Health Administration records, ships cut block rather than loose rock. Flatbeds and straight trucks with a boom that moved slab from there fit our list too, and photos of the bed and any crane controls help us read the setup.
General Cement and the Hialeah FEC yard
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows a GENERAL CEMENT rail yard 10.4 miles north-west of West Perrine. Pneumatic tankers that shuttle powder between railcars and job sites tend to sit near the siding between loads, which is where we can pick one up.
Hialeah’s FEC yard is 15.3 miles north, according to the North American Rail Network. If your tractor pulled transload freight out of Hialeah, send the VIN, a clear shot of the odometer and a note of which trailer it usually hooked to, and we will start from there.
Between the PortMiami docks and the Homestead base fence
PortMiami lies 8.4 miles from West Perrine on Bureau of Transportation Statistics mapping. Day cabs that dray boxes off the port terminals are usually kept in a South Dade lot between moves; give us that lot’s address and we come to the tractor instead of you bringing it to us.
Homestead ARB, 7.2 miles south by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the military installation closest to town. Contractor trucks that work on or near the base may be parked outside the fence; tell us where, and whether a pass or escort is needed to reach the unit.
Between the port to one side and the base to the other, a South Dade truck may change hands without its owner ever driving it north. Keep the title in the name on the registration and we handle the rest at the truck’s own location.
Crews and shop floors inside West Perrine itself
Of 938 jobs located in West Perrine in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 94 in construction, roughly 10 percent. Pickups with dump bodies, stake trucks and small tippers belonging to those crews qualify, and a current registration plus a few photos of the body is enough for a first look.
LEHD figures from the Census Bureau put another 54 local jobs, about 5.8 percent, in manufacturing that year. Box trucks and straight trucks that carry goods out of those shops are welcome as well; if a lift gate is fitted, mention it and photograph it closed and open.
Reefers among the South Dade shade houses
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms in Miami-Dade County, and the leading items it lists are foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers with cultivated greens. Refrigerated box trucks and reefer tractors that move nursery stock fall within what we buy here.
A grower’s truck is usually parked at the nursery itself, among the shade houses. Tell us the farm’s address and the best gate to use, and have the title and the reefer unit’s service log ready to share.
