Contractor trucks on Orange County job sites
Construction fills 711 of the 3,365 Azalea Park jobs tallied for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, or 21.1 percent of them. If your dump truck, flatbed or crew truck works for a contractor out of this neighbourhood, have the title and current Florida registration in one folder before you call us.
A truck that spends its weekdays on Orange County job sites often spends its evenings parked at home or at the yard of the firm it works for. Tell us which of those it is, and whether a gate code or a key holder is needed, so collection can be set up around the job schedule rather than around yours.
Near the ORLANDO and TAFT yards
West of Azalea Park, the ORLANDO rail yard lies 5.5 miles out and TAFT 8.1 miles off to the south-west, as mapped in the North American Rail Network of the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and nearby warehouses are tractors we buy.
For a tractor that has worked those yard moves, send us the VIN, the odometer reading and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel. If the tractor is parked at a yard instead of at your address, give us the yard’s name and someone who can let a driver in.
Tankers and the terminals west of town
Heniff, a liquid bulk terminal, is 6.1 miles west according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Energy Information Administration lists an ORLANDO petroleum product terminal 9.8 miles south-west. Further out, Transflo CSXT appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list as a liquid bulk terminal 18 miles north.
If you own a tanker tractor that has loaded at any of these, keep its tank inspection paperwork and service records with the title. Tell us which terminal it served and whether the trailer goes with the sale or stays with you, and we will ask the right questions from there.
The Naval annex and the Army lab
Two military installations sit 6.5 miles east of Azalea Park on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map: the Naval Logistics Support Annex Orlando and the Army Research Lab’s Orlando Simulations and Training Technology Center. Box trucks and straight trucks that run deliveries to sites like these are on our list too.
If the truck is kept on an installation, move it to your home, a shop or a public lot off base first. Tell us that address, and keep the registration and title with the keys.
Stone and supply
Quarry hauling and wholesale routes
S & L Materials Inc runs a crushed-stone quarry 17.6 miles east, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls stone from that pit to Orlando job sites can be sold from wherever it is parked in east Orange County.
Wholesale trade accounts for 153 jobs here and manufacturing for 108, while transportation and warehousing holds 65, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Owners of straight trucks and reefers on those supply routes should gather the title, registration and any maintenance log, then send photos of each side of the truck.
Foliage and plant growers in Orange County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 600 farms in Orange County, with foliage plants, propagative material and potted flowering plants at the top of its list. Box trucks and reefers that carry plants from those nurseries are trucks we purchase.
A nursery truck often sits at the growing operation rather than in town. Give us the farm’s address, say whether the lift gate or reefer unit comes with it, and tell us who can meet our driver on the property.
A Florida title, registration and photos
Florida titles are handled through the state’s title agency, so if yours is lost, apply to that agency for a duplicate before you send us the truck’s details. If a lender still holds the title, tell us the lender’s name at the start.
Along with the title, have the registration, the VIN and any inspection or service records ready. Photos of the interior, the dash with the odometer showing, and all four sides let us understand the truck before we schedule the pickup.
