Moving vans, car haulers and freight out of Boynton Beach
Palm Beach County’s southern coast puts 636 active carriers in Boynton Beach on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 340 of those haul general freight. If your box truck or tractor ran general freight around Palm Beach County, have the title and current registration together before you call, since those two documents settle most of the questions about a sale.
Household goods account for 79 Boynton Beach carriers and motor vehicle hauling for 75, according to the same FMCSA census. Moving vans and car carriers from those outfits are trucks we buy; send photos of the box or the deck along with the cab so we can see the whole rig.
Another 55 local carriers, by FMCSA’s count, list machinery and large objects as cargo. A lowboy tractor or a rollback that moved equipment around the county belongs in that group, and the trailer’s paperwork should travel with the tractor’s if you are selling both.
Intrastate work, interstate work and private fleets
Of the Boynton Beach carriers in FMCSA’s census, 466 operate intrastate only and 168 cross state lines, while 180 run private fleets that haul their own goods. If yours is a private fleet truck, the registration may sit under the business rather than your name, so have whoever holds signing authority ready for the transfer.
Drivers working inside a 100-mile radius number 1,156 among these carriers, against 988 who go beyond it, as FMCSA’s carrier census reports. A truck that stays close to home is usually parked at a yard or a driveway in town; tell us the address and the gate contact so the pickup can be arranged there.
For the 89 carriers here that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 24,041 miles in a year. Have your odometer reading and the VIN on hand when you contact us; those two figures open every conversation.
How old the local trucks are and how big the operations run
Across 137 Boynton Beach trucks stopped between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2019, with 37 percent at ten or more years old. Whatever the year on your title, send the model year, make and engine with your first message.
Fleet sizes vary: one Boynton Beach carrier in FMCSA’s census runs 111 power units, another runs 92 and a third runs 23. If you are selling several trucks from one operation, list each VIN and where each unit is parked so every collection can be planned.
The census also logged 50 new carriers registering here in 2025 and 42 in 2024, per FMCSA. If you started an authority recently and are now selling the truck, keep your registration paperwork and the bill of sale from your purchase together.
Port, rail and fuel terminals toward West Palm Beach
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Port of Palm Beach roll-on/roll-off terminal and the Palm Beach Terminal intermodal ramp, both about 16.7 miles north of Boynton Beach. If your tractor pulled containers or chassis off that ramp and is still parked near the port, it does not need to come back into town; give us the lot and the person who can let us in.
Rail yards at West Palm Beach, 14.1 miles north, and at the Port of Palm Beach, 16.6 miles out, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drayage trucks that shuttle between those yards and local warehouses are the kind we collect, so tell us which yard yours worked from.
A petroleum product terminal in West Palm Beach, 16.5 miles to the north, is on the Energy Information Administration’s list of fuel facilities. Tank trucks that loaded there should come with any tank inspection certificates you hold, sent along with photos of the tank and the cab.
Quarry trucks and construction work
A crushed-stone quarry sits 21.9 miles north-west of Boynton Beach, as the Mine Safety and Health Administration records it. Dump trucks that hauled stone out of that pit may still be parked out west; tell us the site and whether a loaded tow truck can reach it.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 318 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD job counts for 2023 put 2,754 Boynton Beach jobs in construction, 8 percent of 34,370. If your dump truck, flatbed or mixer worked those sites, service records and the title are the two things to gather first.
Bridges, nurseries and horse farms in Palm Beach County
Of the 48 Boynton Beach bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, 3 carry load postings and none clears less than 14 feet. When you describe where the truck sits, mention any posted bridge on the route in so the collection vehicle can plan around it.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,368 farms in Palm Beach County, led by foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine operations. Reefer straight trucks that moved nursery stock and stock trailers or horse vans from those farms are welcome here; send photos of the body and the cab together.
Wholesale trade holds 933 local jobs and manufacturing 883 in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, with transportation and warehousing at 767. Delivery trucks from those employers are part of what we buy; if the title is lost, apply to Florida’s title agency for a duplicate before we arrange the pickup.
