Two Hialeah rail yards on either side of the Palmetto corridor
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the CSXT yard at Hialeah 5.1 miles west of Biscayne Park. A tractor that shuttles freight to that CSX yard can be collected from a driveway in the village or from a lot near the tracks; tell us which, and send the street address with your first message.
The North American Rail Network also lists the FEC’s Hialeah rail yard, 8.9 miles south-west of the village. If your truck has run between both Hialeah yards, list the two in your note and attach a photo of the registration card; the plate and VIN on it are what we check before a driver is booked.
Container and roll-on/roll-off work at the Port of Miami
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the POMTOC rail intermodal ramp at the Port of Miami 7.7 miles south of the village. Day cabs that pull containers off that ramp are trucks we purchase from Biscayne Park owners; a clear photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb and the title, front and back, is what to send first.
On the same federal list, a roll-on/roll-off terminal at the port stands 7.9 miles south, and a second Miami intermodal ramp lies 8.5 miles west. If your tractor is still parked on port property, give us the gate it sits behind and the name of whoever can let a driver in.
Fuel and liquid haulers working the bay’s south-west and south-east shores
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, lies 5.8 miles south-west of the village according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that pull tank trailers from that terminal are welcome; tell us whether the trailer goes with the sale or stays behind, and photograph the tractor on its own if it stays.
Across the bay, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal on Fisher Island, 6.8 miles south-east of Biscayne Park. Scan any terminal paperwork a fuel hauler kept from those runs, such as site inspection sheets or service records, and send it alongside the photos.
Foliage and flower growers across Miami-Dade
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms in Miami-Dade County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers with cultivated greens leading the list. Refrigerated box trucks and straight trucks that deliver nursery stock from those growers fit what we buy; send pictures of the reefer unit’s plate along with the cab.
A grower’s truck is often parked at the nursery rather than at home in Biscayne Park. Give us the farm’s address and say whether the gate is locked, and we arrange the collection there instead of asking you to move it.
A small job base, close to military and freight sites
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 222 jobs inside Biscayne Park in 2023, so most trucks kept in the village are registered here but work elsewhere in the county. Have the Florida registration in the same name as the title, or tell us at the start if the names differ.
To the north-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NG Snake Creek TS Miramar, a military installation 9.5 miles from the village. If your truck has been parked near there or at any other secured site, send the contact who controls access before we schedule a driver.
The questions we get asked in Biscayne Park
- My tractor is parked at the POMTOC ramp at the Port of Miami, nowhere near my house in the village, so where would you pick it up?POMTOC sits 7.7 miles south of the village on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and we collect the tractor from the port itself. Tell us the gate and a contact who can admit our driver.
- I can’t find the title for the box truck I registered while living in Biscayne Park, so who replaces it?Trucks registered in Biscayne Park get a duplicate title from the state’s title agency; request one there and tell us it is on the way, and we can start with photos and the VIN in the meantime.
- Do you take refrigerated trucks from Miami-Dade nurseries?Miami-Dade’s 2,664 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture are led by foliage and potted flowering plants, and the reefer straight trucks serving them are trucks we purchase. Photograph the nursery truck’s cab, its insulated box and the reefer unit’s data plate.
