Zolfo Springs haulers: produce, farm supplies, freight
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 81 active carriers with an address in or near Zolfo Springs, and 54 of them declare general freight. If your truck is one of those general-freight tractors or straight trucks, tell us the body type and the axle setup when you get in touch, since that is what we plan the pickup around.
Seventeen of the local carriers tell FMCSA’s carrier census they move fresh produce, and fifteen haul farm supplies. A reefer unit or a flatbed that has spent its seasons hauling for local farms is a truck we buy; have the VIN, the registration and any reefer service records together before you call.
Twelve carriers here list machinery and large objects as cargo in that same federal census. Lowboys, tilt decks and the tractors that pull them often sit in a yard rather than a driveway, so give us the yard address and a note on how a rollback or a tow rig can reach it.
Intrastate work out of a small Hardee County town
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 67 carriers near town hauling intrastate only, while 13 cross state lines. A truck that has stayed inside Florida usually carries a Florida title and registration, which keeps the transfer simple on our end.
Twenty-nine of the Zolfo Springs carriers are private fleets, meaning they haul their own goods rather than freight for hire, as FMCSA records them. If your truck belongs to a farm, a grove or a small manufacturer, the title may sit in the business name; check whose name is on it before we schedule collection.
Fifteen carriers here reported their annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them was 37,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading in your first message, alongside the photos, so we can match the truck we see to the truck you describe.
Zolfo Springs outfits from a single truck to a full yard
The biggest operation on file with FMCSA’s carrier census near Zolfo Springs runs 63 power units and 57 drivers; the next two run 15 and 10. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a fleet of that size, list each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we can plan to collect them together.
Five new carriers registered here in 2024 and five more in 2025, per the federal carrier census. A newer outfit downsizing or changing equipment can sell to us the same way an established one does: title, registration and photos of the cab, frame and tires are the starting point.
Mines north of town at Fort Meade and South Pasture
Head 10.9 miles north of Zolfo Springs and you reach South Fort Meade Mine, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration classes as an industrial-mineral mine. Dump trucks and tractors that have worked a mine site often stay parked on or near it, so tell us whether the truck is inside a gated area and who can let us in.
Further out, South Pasture Mine is 14.4 miles north-west, also on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of industrial-mineral operations. If your truck served either site, any site inspection or service records you kept help us understand its history; if there are none, describe the work it did.
Two Hardee-area rail yards up the north-west road
From Zolfo Springs, the Garwood South yard is a 10.8-mile trip north-west, on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from a yard like that are ones we collect wherever they sit, whether at the yard, a shop or your home.
On that same North American Rail Network, South Pierce yard sits 21.1 miles out in the same north-west direction. Send us the truck’s location and a few clear photos of it parked near that north-west rail corridor or at home in Zolfo Springs.
Dairy, cattle and honey
Milk, cattle, honey and a manufacturing payroll
Around Zolfo Springs, Hardee County counts 920 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and milk, cattle and honey top its list of products. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and farm flatbeds from those operations are all trucks we purchase; the title and a current registration are what we need first.
Manufacturing accounts for 86 of the 235 positions counted in Zolfo Springs for 2023, a 36.6 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A box truck or tractor that served a plant here can be sold from the plant lot; just tell us who holds the keys on collection day.
