Sell your semi truck for cash in Cape Canaveral the easy and convenient way

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the Cape Canaveral name, one 0.8 miles north of town and another 2 miles to the north-west. Tankers and fuel tractors that load at those racks are trucks we buy. Have the title and the tank’s inspection paperwork together when you call, and tell us which rack the truck loaded at.

VTTI’s liquid bulk terminal stands 1.7 miles north, on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of port facilities. A tractor that has pulled bulk liquid trailers between VTTI and the petroleum racks can be collected at the port gate or at your yard; just name the spot and who holds the gate key.

South Cargo Pier 4 at Port Canaveral, a roll-on/roll-off terminal 0.9 miles north according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, handles wheeled cargo. If your truck has shuttled vehicles or equipment off that pier, send us the VIN, the registration and photos of the cab, frame and tires so we know the truck before we arrive.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 47 active motor carriers registered in Cape Canaveral, and 41 of them run intrastate against 5 that cross state lines. Most Cape trucks, then, stay inside Florida, so the truck you sell is likely parked somewhere on the Space Coast rather than out of state.

Twenty-eight of the Cape outfits on that FMCSA roll are private fleets moving their own goods off the island, not freight for hire. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title; if so, bring proof that you can sign for the business when we collect it.

New registrations stay modest, by the same FMCSA records: two carriers joined in 2025 and one in 2024. If you are one of the newer operators winding down a single truck, the title, your USDOT number and current registration are all we need to begin.

General freight leads the cargo list in FMCSA’s census, with 18 local carriers hauling it, followed by 12 that carry passengers. Box trucks, tractors and buses all fit what we buy, so tell us the body type and the seating or cargo capacity when you get in touch.

Six Cape Canaveral carriers list metal sheets, coils and rolls, and five list chemicals, per that FMCSA census. Flatbed tractors with coil racks and tankers rated for chemicals are both welcome; keep the hazmat inspection records and any tank test dates with the title.

The three biggest fleets registered here run 25, 16 and 15 power units on FMCSA records, with 25, 6 and 30 drivers respectively. Selling several trucks out of a fleet that size works the same as one: list each VIN and where each unit sits, and we schedule collections lot by lot.

Drivers working for Cape Canaveral carriers number 138 inside a 100-mile radius and 40 beyond it, as the FMCSA census records. A truck that stays within that radius is almost always within reach of a Brevard County pickup, so give us the street address and a phone number for whoever can hand over the keys.

Five carriers here reported annual mileage, and the median among them came to 9,431 miles per truck according to FMCSA. Write the current odometer reading down before you call, along with the VIN, since those two numbers start every conversation.

Eight-point-three miles west, the North American Rail Network maps the Cocoa-Rockledge rail yard, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places an intermodal ramp at Cocoa at that same distance. Container chassis tractors that pull boxes from the Cocoa ramp across the causeway are part of what we collect; a truck parked by the ramp can stay there.

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station lies 6.2 miles north and Patrick Space Force Base 11 miles south, both on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of military installations. If your truck is parked at a contractor yard near either gate, arrange base access with the site before the pickup and tell us who signs us in.

Of the 5,132 jobs counted on the Cape in 2023, manufacturing held 641, a 12.5 percent slice, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Transportation and warehousing added 331 jobs that year in the same LEHD figures, wholesale trade 155 and construction 133. Straight trucks serving plants and wholesalers on the island are trucks we purchase, with the title and registration in hand.

Twenty-five building contractors and three warehousing outfits operate from Cape Canaveral addresses, County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau shows. Dump trucks and flatbeds from those contractors can be picked up at the job site or the shop; let us know which, and whether a loader is needed to clear a path.

Inland in Brevard County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 584 farms, with cattle, honey and potted flowering plants at the top. Livestock haulers and nursery trucks from those farms are welcome too, collected right where they stand on the property.

Twelve bridges serve the area in the National Bridge Inventory, none of them load-posted. The National Bridge Inventory shows one under 14 feet: structure 700218, an overpass ramp crossing SR-401 with 13 ft 7 in of clearance.

If your truck is parked past that low ramp and stands tall, mention it so the recovery truck is routed around that overpass. Send the parking address with the title and photos, and we plan the route from there.

• Must my fuel tanker leave the petroleum rack beside Port Canaveral before you collect?The Energy Information Administration places petroleum product terminals 0.8 and 2 miles from town, and we collect at either one. Name the rack, plus whoever at the terminal can wave our recovery driver in past security.
• Do you buy buses and passenger vans from the Cape?Twelve Cape Canaveral carriers in FMCSA’s census list passengers as cargo, and their buses and vans are vehicles we take. Bring the title, registration and the seating capacity.
• Will you collect from a contractor lot outside Patrick Space Force Base?Patrick Space Force Base sits 11 miles south on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and a yard outside its gate is a normal collection for us. If the yard is inside the base, arrange our access first.
• Is there a low bridge we should know about?Structure 700218, the overpass ramp over SR-401, clears 13 ft 7 in in the National Bridge Inventory; tell us if your truck sits beyond it so the recovery route avoids it.
