Roll-on ships and rail at the Port of Palm Beach
Head south about 6.2 miles from Cabana Colony and you reach the Port of Palm Beach - Palm Beach Terminal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a roll-on/roll-off terminal. A tractor that has shuttled freight off those ships can be collected from your driveway or a yard near the docks; give us that address and any gate rules.
That same 6.2-mile mark carries Palm Beach Terminal, an intermodal ramp in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing, and the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the PORT OF PALM BEACH rail yard at 6.3 miles. If your day cab has pulled containers between ship and train there, send the VIN, a current registration and photos of the cab, the chassis and the fifth wheel.
Fuel and freight yards
A petroleum product terminal named WEST PALM BEACH appears in Energy Information Administration records 6.4 miles south of town. Tank tractors and bobtails tied to that terminal are trucks we buy; have the title, the registration and any terminal inspection records together before you call, so the paperwork matches the tractor.
Farther down the line, at 8.8 miles, the North American Rail Network shows a second yard under the WEST PALM BEACH name. Straight trucks and tractors that run between those yards and local customers usually sit at a lot or a home address in town, and a photo set that shows the plate, the door and the odometer is the best start.
Stone to the south-west, sand to the north-west
Dump trucks and tractors with end-dump trailers that haul from a pit like that can be picked up on site or at home; tell us which, and send photos of the body and the hoist along with the cab.
On the opposite bearing, Palm City Mine is a sand and gravel operation 20.8 miles north-west, again according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck splits its week between the two, list the axle setup and the trailer that goes with it, so we know exactly what we are collecting.
Palm Beach County held 1,368 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that census names foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine as the county’s leading lines. Box trucks and reefers that carry plants from growers, and the pickups and tractors that pull horse trailers, are all on the list of what we purchase.
Nursery and stable trucks around Cabana Colony are often kept on the farm itself rather than in town. Tell us the farm road and gate details, and keep the title and registration with the truck so the handover goes cleanly.
Titles here come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For a lost title, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the Palm Beach County motor vehicle service center - West Palm Beach as the nearest office, at 301 North Olive Avenue, First Floor, West Palm Beach, 33401, about 9.9 miles from town.
Bring the VIN and your registration to that service center when you ask for a duplicate. If a lender is still on the title, tell us at the start; the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles handles paper liens and titles, and a lien release is part of what we need before collection.
Trucks near the naval reserve center
Service and delivery trucks that call on the installation are part of the mix in this corner of the county.
If your truck carries a gate pass or base decal, mention it when you contact us and remove any credentials before pickup. Everything else stays with the truck: the keys, the title and the registration.
