Florida's freight is coastal on both sides. Intermodal ramps work at Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Pierce and Cocoa, cement plants run at Brooksville, Medley, Tampa and Coleman, and rail yards sit at Baldwin, Bradenton and Chattahoochee.
That spread is why we don't pick a lane. A Freightliner day cab off a Jacksonville berth, a Mack dump truck near Brooksville, a Kenworth sleeper out of Tampa or a Ford dually out of Ocala are handled the same way: photos and details come to us, an offer goes back, and from there we can collect it, buy it remotely, or you can drive it to us.
And the sections that produce that inversion
Florida sets a gross limit of 80,000 lb including all enforcement tolerances. A separate subsection caps a single-unit vehicle used as a dump truck, a concrete mixer, a waste collection vehicle or a fuel tanker at 70,000 lb — 31.75 tonnes. The divisible-load permit adds ten per cent off the interstate system only and does not reach those vehicles.
Fla. Stat. § 316.535(4), (5) and (6), with § 316.550(4).
Then the title, and a storage clock that runs faster than people expect
The paperwork is what decides how fast a sale closes. We need a title unless the truck is old enough that it never had one; a lost title has a counter replacement, and where none exists there is a bonded route. The one worth knowing before you need it is the storage clock. A towing and storage operator holding a vehicle must give notice by certified mail within five business days, and a vehicle more than three years old can go to public sale thirty-five days after storage. The law draws no distinction by weight, so a class-eight dump truck runs on the same clock as a car. The plate stays in the owner’s name rather than going with the truck — onto a replacement vehicle of the same class, or back to the county tax collector.
