Sand to the north
Two sand pits up the road
Just 4.8 miles up the road from West Vero Corridor, Blue Goose Mine digs sand and gravel, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts loading at that pit can be collected right where it sits; send us the address of the yard or the pit gate and the name of whoever holds the key.
Vero Rock and Sand, another sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 5.5 miles to the north. If your truck hauled fill out of there, photograph the body, the tailgate, the frame rails and the cab, and have the title and current registration in hand before you call. Those two papers settle most of what we would otherwise have to ask.
Capron Trails and crushed rock
Capron Trails Mine is a crushed-stone quarry 7.6 miles south of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tri-axle dumps and belly-dump trailers are the kind of equipment that quarry rock moves in, and both are on the list of what we purchase. Tell us the axle setup and the body length when you first get in touch.
If the truck is still parked inside a quarry fence near Capron Trails, ask the site office whether a visitor needs an escort or a gate pass. Giving us the contact for the gate up front keeps the collection simple for you and for the site.
Brisbane Pit to the north-west
Seventeen miles north-west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Brisbane Pit as an industrial-mineral mine. A truck based there can stay on that property; we come out and load it where it is.
For a truck that has worked the longer run out to Brisbane Pit, gather any service invoices you kept along with the VIN and an odometer photo. Paperwork like that lets us see the truck’s working life before anyone arrives to collect it.
The ramp and the yards to the south-east
A rail intermodal ramp at Fort Pierce, 16.7 miles south-east, appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Day cabs that shuttle containers between that ramp and Indian River County addresses are trucks we buy, with or without the chassis they usually pull.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places two Fort Pierce rail yards at 17.2 and 17.3 miles from West Vero Corridor. If your tractor is sitting in a lot near those yards rather than at home, just give us that lot’s address; it can stay there until we come for it.
Builders and wholesalers in the corridor
Of the 3,916 jobs located in West Vero Corridor in 2023, construction held 80, a 2 percent slice, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A contractor’s flatbed, a stake-bed or a small dump that served those sites is one to tell us about; list the body type and the gross vehicle weight rating from the door sticker.
Wholesale trade accounted for 85 jobs, 2.2 percent of the local total, in that same LEHD release. Box trucks and reefers on wholesale delivery routes fit what we purchase, and if the box has a liftgate or a refrigeration unit, note the make of each in your message.
Groves, cattle and horse farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 492 farms in Indian River County, where the leading categories are aquatic plants, cattle and equine. Livestock haulers, tractors that tow stock trailers and farm flatbeds from those operations all qualify, whether they sit at a barn or in a pasture.
If your truck is parked on a ranch or a nursery property, tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow rig to reach it. A pin on a map of the farm gate helps the driver find a truck that has no street address of its own.
