Sell your semi truck for cash in Bay Harbor Islands the easy and convenient way

Down Biscayne Bay, 6.6 miles south of Bay Harbor Islands, sits the Fisher Island petroleum product terminal named by the Energy Information Administration. A tank tractor that has loaded at that rack is a truck we buy, and the useful things to send first are the VIN, the title in the registered owner’s name, and a clear photo of the plate on the door.

Port Everglades, another petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, lies 11.4 miles north of the islands. If the tractor still sits in a yard up near that port, leave it there; give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the collection is arranged around that lot.

Two Port of Miami listings from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics sit 8.3 miles south of town: the POMTOC rail intermodal ramp and the port’s roll-on/roll-off terminal. Day cabs that shuttle boxes between those berths and nearby yards are a fit for us, and a port-pass history or dispatch log helps show where the tractor spent its shifts.

Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 8.5 miles south-west of the islands. For a tanker that has worked that berth, gather the cargo tank inspection reports and the registration card before you call, since those are the first two documents we ask about.

According to the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the HIALEAH (CSXT) yard is 8.1 miles west and the HIALEAH (FEC) yard 11.8 miles west. A tractor that has pulled chassis out of either yard can be collected from wherever it is now parked in Hialeah; there is no need to bring it back over the causeway first.

West of town by 11.4 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a second rail intermodal ramp listed simply as Miami, FL. When you write to us about a drayage tractor from that ramp, include the odometer reading and photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel, so what we see lines up with what you describe.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,339 jobs in Bay Harbor Islands, with 77 of them in construction, a 5.8 percent share. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that serve building sites across Miami-Dade all belong on our list, and the service records you already keep are a good thing to send along with the photos.

Wholesale trade held 58 of those 2023 positions, or 4.3 percent, in the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. A straight truck or reefer that runs wholesale deliveries out of a warehouse can be sold from its loading dock; tell us the hours the dock is open and who can hand over the keys.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms in Miami-Dade County, and it lists foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers with cultivated greens as the county’s top commodities. Reefer box trucks and stake-bed trucks that carry plants from those nurseries are trucks we purchase.

For a nursery truck parked out among the growers, a pin dropped on the yard and a note on how to reach it between greenhouse rows is the most helpful thing to send. Pair that with the title and two or three photos and we can set up the pickup at the farm itself.

• My tank tractor sits in a lot close to the Fisher Island rack. Is pickup possible from that lot rather than from Bay Harbor Islands?The Energy Information Administration lists that terminal 6.6 miles south of the islands, and we collect the truck where it is parked near it. Pass along that lot’s street address and who on site opens its gate for a tractor pickup.
• I hauled containers from the POMTOC ramp but now live outside Florida; is a sale of my day cab parked near PortMiami possible?POMTOC sits 8.3 miles south of Bay Harbor Islands on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and the tractor can stay near it while you handle the sale from wherever you live now. Tell us who holds the keys and where the title is.
• What should I gather before selling a construction truck from Bay Harbor Islands?Construction accounts for 77 of the 1,339 local jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD counts, and for a dump truck or flatbed from that work we ask for the title, registration, VIN and a set of photos showing the cab, frame and bed.
