Fuel by the port
Fuel racks a few miles east, toward Port Everglades
Port Everglades East Terminal, a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, stands about 3 miles east of Broadview Park, and a second entry it calls PT Everglades is about 4.5 miles out the same way. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers off those racks can be sold from the yard it parks in; send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
About 2.5 miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Transflo CSXT as a liquid bulk terminal, and it lists RSI Logistics, another liquid bulk site, roughly 4.3 miles away. If your tanker or bulk tractor loaded at either one, photograph the VIN plate, the tank’s specification plate and the cab, and keep the title and current Florida registration together for the day of collection.
Rail and roll-on
Container tractors off the Fort Lauderdale ramps
Two rail intermodal ramps appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records within reach of Broadview Park: Fort Lauderdale at about 4.4 miles east and the Fort Lauderdale Intermodal Container Transfer Facility at about 5.4 miles. Day cabs that shuttle boxes between those ramps and the docks are a fit for us, so tell us the VIN, the odometer reading and whether the tractor is still parked near the ramp.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Fort Lauderdale rail yard roughly 4.3 miles east of town. Port Everglades’ Northport Terminal, listed by the BTS as a roll-on/roll-off terminal, is about 5.2 miles out. A car hauler or lowboy tractor that has worked those docks can be collected on site, provided you name a contact who can let us in.
Seventy-six building-trade jobs and their dump trucks
Of the 873 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Broadview Park in 2023, 76 were in construction, a share of 8.7 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer chassis that serve those crews are trucks we purchase, and a contractor selling one should gather the title, the registration and any service records before calling.
Construction trucks in this corner of Broward often sit at a job site rather than at home. If yours is parked on a site west of the port, tell us the cross streets and the hours the gate is open, and send photos of the body, the frame and the cab so the description matches what we find.
Nurseries and horses
Potted plants, foliage and horses across Broward
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 658 farms in Broward County, with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine operations at the top of its list. Box trucks and reefers that move nursery stock, and stock trailers or horse-hauling tractors, are all on the list of what we buy from owners here.
A grower or stable selling a truck can leave it where it is kept, whether that is a greenhouse lot or a barn yard in the county. Send the VIN, a few photos and the name on the title; if the title carries a farm or business name, have the person who can sign for that business on hand when we arrive.
One folder, four photos, then the call
Whether your truck last worked the Transflo CSXT site 2.5 miles east, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, or a nursery elsewhere in Broward County, the paperwork is the same: the title in your name, the registration, and whatever inspection or service records you kept. Put them in one folder before the pickup is scheduled.
If the title has gone missing, start the replacement with Florida’s title agency before you contact us, and tell us it is under way. Photos of all four sides of the truck, the dash with the odometer showing, and the VIN plate let us ask the right questions on the first call.
The questions we get asked in Broadview Park
- Can my fuel tanker stay on its lot by the Port Everglades terminals?Port Everglades East Terminal, on the Energy Information Administration’s list, sits about 3 miles east of Broadview Park, and we collect from lots around it. Give us the address and a gate contact and the tanker stays where it is.
- Do you buy day cabs that pull containers from the Fort Lauderdale rail ramps?The Fort Lauderdale ramp and its Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, at about 4.4 and 5.4 miles east in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, are exactly where those day cabs work, and we buy them. A VIN plus the odometer figure lets us open the file on a container tractor.
- I run a nursery in Broward County. Will you take a box truck or reefer?Potted flowering plants and foliage plants lead the 658 Broward County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the box trucks and reefers that carry that stock are trucks we purchase. The title and registration are what we need first.
