Kathleen Mine, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 6.2 miles north-east of Zephyrhills South. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled rock out of there can be sold from the spot where it now sits; give us the street address, the VIN and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Head west instead and the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Central State Aggregates LLC, another crushed-stone operation, 6.6 miles out. If your truck split its working weeks between that pit and the Kathleen site, mention it in your first message, and include clear photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab.
Van Fleet pit
Van Fleet sand and gravel, east of town
Van Fleet, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a sand and gravel site, is 22 miles east of Zephyrhills South. Trucks that cycle between that pit and job sites around Zephyrhills often end up parked at a yard rather than at a home driveway, so tell us which gate we come through and who can unlock it.
Owners who ran gravel loads for a few seasons and then parked the rig usually still have the registration in a glovebox or a desk drawer. Pull out the Florida title and the current registration card, photograph both, and send them with your inquiry; a title in your own name keeps the paperwork simple at collection.
Tank terminals south-east and south-west of town
A liquid bulk terminal stands 15.1 miles south-east of Zephyrhills South on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and Transflo CSXT, a second liquid bulk site, is 23.2 miles to the south-west by the same federal agency’s figures. Tractors that pulled tank trailers between those two points are trucks we buy, with or without the trailer attached.
If you are selling a tanker tractor, gather any terminal entry paperwork, the latest annual inspection sheet and whatever service invoices you kept. Those records, together with a photo of the dash showing the odometer, answer most of what we would otherwise ask by phone.
Rail yards and the ramp south-west toward Tampa
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Winston rail yard 18.2 miles south-east and the Uceta yard 21.5 miles south-west of Zephyrhills South. Between them, 21.2 miles south-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the Tampa rail intermodal ramp, where containers move between trains and tractors.
Day cabs that have pulled chassis off the Tampa ramp or shuttled between Uceta and Winston can stay wherever they were last parked. Send us the VIN, the location and a photo of each side, and if the tractor sits inside a fenced lot, add the name of the person who manages access.
Ranch, stable and nursery trucks around Zephyrhills South
Pasco County holds 1,190 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its leading entries are cattle, equine and potted flowering plants. Livestock haulers, horse transport rigs and the box trucks that carry nursery plants to market all fit what we collect.
A truck that lives on a ranch or a nursery property off a county road is no problem to reach; tell us whether the ground near it is firm enough for a tow vehicle and describe the turn-in from the paved road, so the pickup crew knows the approach ahead of time.
Work inside the town line
Employment inside Zephyrhills South
Inside Zephyrhills South itself, 226 positions are on record for 2023 in the LEHD job counts (LODES) that the Census Bureau publishes. A truck garaged here may have spent its shifts at Kathleen Mine, at Van Fleet or on the Tampa ramp, all outside the town line; tell us which of them yours served.
Wherever it worked, gather the title, the registration, the keys and a few photos, and give us the Pasco County address where the truck is parked so collection can be arranged around that spot.
