Crawfordville and its surroundings hold 157 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. The same FMCSA census registers 124 of them for intrastate work and 32 for interstate; tell us whether yours carried an interstate number, and we will know which registration and filings to look at alongside the title.
A further 81 of those Crawfordville carriers are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning the truck hauls the owner’s own goods rather than freight for hire. If your rig belongs to a contractor, a farm or a Wakulla County business rather than a trucking company, the paperwork we need is the same: the title in the seller’s name, the current registration and a photo of the VIN plate.
New registrations keep arriving: the FMCSA census records 8 new carriers in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started an outfit in one of those years and are now winding it down, have the operating authority details at hand when you call, so we can match the truck to the carrier it was registered under.
Cargo mix
Lumber, machinery and general freight
General freight is the cargo most often declared here, with 70 local carriers listing it in FMCSA’s census. In that census, machinery and large objects follow at 42, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 25, and motor vehicles at 24. A dry van tractor, a lowboy rig, a log truck or a car hauler from Wakulla County are all trucks we collect.
For a log truck or a lowboy tractor, the trailer question comes first: tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and whether it carries a title of its own. If tractor and trailer are titled separately, each title needs the owner’s signature.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 255 farms in Wakulla County, with cattle, honey and hogs at the top. A livestock hauler or a farm-plated straight truck working those operations can be sold the same way; send photos of the cab, the bed or box, and the plate, and tell us where on the property it sits.
Pits, quarries and the Tallahassee yard
Fifteen and a half miles up the road from Crawfordville, Silver Lake 1 appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls as a sand and gravel operation. Dump trucks and tri-axles that worked that pit can stay parked wherever they finished the shift; give us the site address and a contact who can let us through the gate.
Heading east, CYD Cabbage Grove sits 23.9 miles out and Perry Quarry 24.4 miles out, both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck is still on quarry ground at either one, ask the operator what notice a visitor needs before driving in, and pass that on when we arrange the collection.
North of town, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the TALLAHASSEE rail yard 16.1 miles away, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts NRC-MCRC Tallahassee, a military installation, 16 miles north. A drayage tractor kept near the yard is collected where it stands; just give us the lot address.
Yards and years
How big the Wakulla fleets run, and how old
Most outfits here are small. The fleets at the top of FMCSA’s census for the area run 15 power units with 11 drivers, 15 with 10, and 11 with 10. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard of that size, list each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we will work through them together.
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 90 trucks from local carriers, with a median model year of 2017 and 42.2 percent ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the title, the registration and any service records you kept are what we ask for.
Work patterns
Close to home or hundreds of miles out
Twenty-seven Crawfordville carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck logged 15,000 miles in a year. The same census counts 201 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 557 beyond it, so a Crawfordville truck may be parked at home or out of state when you decide to sell.
If yours is away on the road, you do not need to bring it back to Wakulla County. Give us the city and address where it is parked, plus a photo of the odometer and the VIN, and we arrange the pickup there.
Jobs and building work in the area
Wakulla’s building trades also show up as 99 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a possible home for a dump truck or flatbed.
If your truck has been hauling for a contractor on that side of the ledger, a dump body, a flatbed or a service truck, tell us what is mounted on it and whether any equipment on the chassis goes with the sale, so the description we work from matches what we collect.
The questions we get asked in Crawfordville
- My truck is working a long-haul route out of state. Must it return to Crawfordville before you buy it?FMCSA’s census counts 557 drivers from Crawfordville carriers working beyond 100 miles, so trucks here are often far from home. We collect where the truck is parked; send the address.
