Small fleets with a Cooper City address
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 53 active motor carriers based in Cooper City, and the three biggest run 6, 5 and 3 power units. A one- or two-truck operator here can list every tractor and trailer in a single message to us: VIN, model year and where each is parked.
Of those 53 carriers, 39 are registered for intrastate work and 13 for interstate work, according to the same FMCSA census, while 19 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck belonged to a business that moved its own stock, have the company name on the title match the person signing, or bring a letter showing who can sign for it.
New registrations stay modest: the carrier census records 5 new Cooper City carriers in 2024 and 3 in 2025. If your authority is recent and the truck is still financed, send us the lender’s name and a payoff letter so the title release can be lined up.
General freight, car carriers and refuse bodies
General freight leads the cargo lines on FMCSA’s census, with 24 local carriers listing it, followed by 9 hauling motor vehicles, 6 hauling garbage and refuse, and 5 moving household goods. Box trucks, car-hauler rigs, roll-off and packer trucks, and moving vans all fit what we collect.
For a refuse truck or a car carrier, the body is part of the sale, so photograph the hydraulics, the deck or the packer along with the cab and the plate. A moving van registered under a household-goods authority should come with its registration and the title in the seller’s name.
Miles and range
Local routes around Broward
Seven Cooper City carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 25,767 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and send that figure with the VIN when you first contact us.
Drivers here mostly stay close: the carrier census lists 87 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 46 going beyond that. A truck kept on a local radius is usually parked at a home yard or a job site in the county, and we collect it from wherever it sits.
East to the coast
Port Everglades fuel terminals and rail
The Energy Information Administration lists the Port Everglades East Terminal 8.2 miles east of Cooper City and the Port Everglades petroleum terminal at 8.7 miles. A tanker or fuel truck that loads at those racks can be collected at its yard; tell us whether a gate pass or escort is needed to reach it.
On the rail side, the North American Rail Network places the Fort Lauderdale rail yard 9.3 miles east and the Port Everglades ICTF yard at 9.9 miles, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Fort Lauderdale intermodal ramp at 9.4 miles. A day cab that has pulled containers between those points should come with its registration card and any annual inspection reports you kept.
Liquid bulk transload sites sit nearby too: Transflo CSXT, 8.4 miles north-east, and RSI Logistics, 9.4 miles east, both appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Note which of them your tanker served, and send photos of the tank’s data plate.
Jobs, roads and the county’s farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 8,431 jobs in Cooper City for 2023, with 465 in construction, 278 in manufacturing, 225 in wholesale trade and 177 in transportation and warehousing. Dump trucks, stake beds and delivery straight trucks from those trades are all vehicles we collect from a jobsite or shop lot.
Six bridges in Cooper City appear in the National Bridge Inventory, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall box truck or loaded tractor can be driven or towed out of town without detouring around a posted span.
Across Broward County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 658 farms, led by potted flowering plants, foliage plants and horses. A nursery delivery truck or a horse-hauling rig from one of those operations is welcome; send the title along with photos of the body or the trailer.
The questions we get asked in Cooper City
- My truck is parked near the Snake Creek training site in Miramar; will you pick it up from that spot?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the NG Snake Creek TS Miramar installation 6 miles south of Cooper City, and a truck kept anywhere around it is one we pick up where it is parked. Give us the street address and a contact who can open the gate.
- I live in Cooper City and cannot find my truck’s Florida title; where do I get a replacement?Florida titles are issued through the state’s title agency, so a Broward County owner who has misplaced one should request a duplicate there before the sale. If the paper title is lost, tell us when you first reach out and we will plan around the replacement.
- I run a garbage packer for a small Cooper City outfit; would you buy it?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 6 Cooper City carriers hauling garbage, refuse and trash, and their packer and roll-off trucks are vehicles we collect. Send the VIN, photos of the body, and the name on the title.
