Quarry and cement plant work west of the Palmetto
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Epic Stoneworks, Inc., a dimension-stone quarry, 2.6 miles north-east of Westchester, and Miami Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 4.1 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or tractor that has run loads out of either site can stay where it last worked. Give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the collection is planned around that lot.
Two cement plants appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records near here: Miami Cement Plant, 5 miles north-west, and the Pennsuco Cement Plant, 9.1 miles to the north. Mixer and bulk-tanker owners who served those plants should gather the title, the current registration and any service logs kept for the truck before calling. Those three papers answer most of what we ask about a mixer.
Krome Quarry, a crushed-stone site 9 miles south-west of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits out toward the edge of the county. If your truck is parked out by Krome Avenue, send a few photos taken where it stands, including the cab, the bed and the tires, so we know what to bring for the pickup.
Hialeah yard, the Miami ramp and the bulk terminal
Hialeah’s FEC yard lies 5.9 miles north-east of Westchester on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle containers between that yard and local warehouses are trucks we buy. Have the VIN and the registration card on hand when you first reach us.
At 6.7 miles north-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Miami, FL rail intermodal ramp. A tractor that has pulled chassis off that ramp can be collected at a home address, a shared lot or a terminal fence line; tell us which, and whether a gate pass is needed.
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal 8.5 miles to the north-east, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tank-trailer tractors that worked the terminal often carry site safety paperwork; send those inspection records along with your photos.
Freight, car haulers and refuse carriers in Westchester
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 1,236 active carriers based in Westchester, with 736 of them hauling general freight and 166 moving motor vehicles. Car-hauler owners here should list the trailer type and whether the headrack and ramps go with the tractor. We buy the power unit on its own as well.
Garbage, refuse and trash shows up as cargo for 96 local carriers in the FMCSA carrier census, and refrigerated food for 82. A roll-off, packer or reefer unit is welcome; for a reefer, tell us the trailer unit’s make and keep its own paperwork apart from the tractor’s title.
By FMCSA’s count, 1,021 Westchester carriers run intrastate only, 214 cross state lines and 229 operate as private fleets. A truck registered for in-state work only still needs its Florida title in the owner’s name, or a lien release if a lender is listed on it.
Westchester’s inspected trucks by model year and mileage
Roadside inspections of 493 trucks from August 2024 to August 2026, recorded in FMCSA roadside inspection records, put the median model year at 2015, with 55.8 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year of your truck, the steps are the same: title, registration, photos and the VIN.
Among 217 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 37,800 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer before you call and include a photo of the dash, which lets us match the reading with the VIN without a second trip.
FMCSA’s census also shows 795 carriers keeping drivers within 100 miles and 997 sending them beyond that. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, we can arrange to collect it wherever it ends up, in Florida or out of state.
Construction work around the neighbourhood
Westchester holds 19,682 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, of which 515 sit in construction, 209 in wholesale trade and 125 in manufacturing. Contractors selling a flatbed, a stake body or a small dump should list what the body carries and attach a photo of the plate on the door jamb.
Westchester’s contractors number 237 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A builder retiring one truck from a small fleet can sell it alone; send the title and registration for that unit and leave the rest of the fleet out of it.
Bridges, nurseries and collection routes
Of the 9 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists in Westchester, none carries a load posting and none sits under 14 feet. For collection, that leaves the choice of route to the truck’s location rather than to clearances; just tell us the street and whether a trailer is coupled.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms across Miami-Dade County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers and greens at the top of the list. Box trucks and reefers that move nursery stock out of the county’s growing areas belong on our list; send the body length and the reefer unit details with your photos.
The questions we get asked in Westchester
- Can my dump truck stay parked at the Krome Quarry lot instead of coming into Westchester?Leave the dump truck at Krome: the quarry is 9 miles south-west of Westchester according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from the quarry lot; tell us who can let us through the gate.
- Does it matter that my tractor only ran intrastate routes in Miami-Dade?In-state work makes no difference to us; FMCSA’s carrier census shows 1,021 intrastate-only carriers in Westchester, and we buy those trucks the same way; have the Florida title and registration ready.
- I haul cars. Do you take the tractor if I keep the trailer?The tractor can be sold without the trailer: FMCSA lists 166 Westchester carriers moving motor vehicles, and we buy the tractor alone; tell us up front which pieces are part of the sale.
