Fuel at the port
Petroleum terminals just east of town
The Energy Information Administration lists the Port Everglades petroleum product terminal 1.3 miles east of Dania Beach, with the Port Everglades East Terminal 2.3 miles to the north. A tanker tractor that loads at those racks is usually parked close by between runs, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key when you first get in touch.
RSI Logistics runs a liquid bulk terminal 2.5 miles north-east of town, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor has pulled bulk liquid trailers out of that site or the port fuel racks, keep its hazmat endorsements, tank inspection sheets and service log together; those papers travel with the truck when we collect it.
Port Everglades ICTF and the Fort Lauderdale ramps
Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network close to Dania Beach: the Port Everglades ICTF, 2.5 miles east, and the Fort Lauderdale yard, 2.6 miles north-east. Day cabs that drag chassis between the docks and those yards tend to sit in drayage lots near the port, and we can collect from that lot rather than asking you to move the tractor.
Fort Lauderdale’s intermodal container transfer facility, 2.7 miles north-east, is one of two rail intermodal ramps the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places within reach of this city. For a drayage tractor that has worked those ramps, send the VIN, a clear photo of the title, and shots of the cab, frame and fifth wheel; that set lets us start on your truck straight away.
Ro-ro cargo
Southport and the vehicle docks
Port Everglades’ Southport Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off dock 2.8 miles north-east of Dania Beach on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, handles wheeled cargo driven on and off ships. Car haulers and lowboy rigs that work that dock may be staged inside the port area, so tell us whether a pass is needed to reach the truck.
Machinery and large-object haulage is the line of work for 11 Dania Beach carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is a heavy-haul tractor or a lowboy combination, list the trailer separately from the tractor and include the registration for each, since we can take one or both.
General freight, movers and reefers in the city
Of the 142 active carriers FMCSA’s census places in Dania Beach, general freight is the cargo line for 76. The same census lists 18 household goods movers and 11 refrigerated food carriers. Whether you run a single box truck for moves or a reefer tractor on grocery routes, the paperwork we ask for is the same: title, current registration and any maintenance records you have kept.
Of those carriers, 104 operate intrastate only, 34 cross state lines and 49 are private fleets moving their own goods, per the federal carrier census. An intrastate truck that never left Florida still needs its title in the seller’s name, or a lien release if a lender is listed on it.
New registrations reached 12 in 2025 after 7 in 2024, the FMCSA census records. If you started a carrier recently and are now selling a tractor bought on finance, have the lender’s payoff letter ready so the title can be cleared at handover.
Small fleets, local drivers
The three biggest fleets registered in Dania Beach run 17, 12 and 7 power units, on FMCSA’s carrier census, so most operations here are small. Selling two or three units at once is no problem; send a list with the VIN, year and make of each so we can plan a single collection.
Carriers here report 166 drivers working within 100 miles and 530 going beyond that radius, according to FMCSA. For the 14 local carriers that also report mileage, the federal census gives a median of 43,250 miles per truck a year. A long-haul tractor may be away on a run when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked and when, and we will meet it there.
Wholesale, construction and nursery country
Wholesale trade employs 2,084 people in Dania Beach, about 10.1% of the city’s 20,713 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while transportation and warehousing account for 585. Straight trucks and tractors that deliver for distributors here often have liftgates or refrigeration units, so mention those, with their own service records, when you describe the truck.
Construction holds 1,310 jobs in the city on the same LEHD counts, and Broward County’s construction trade has 57 establishments in County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer chassis from those jobs can be collected from a site or a contractor’s yard; send the address and the gate hours.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 658 farms in Broward County, with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine as the leading lines. Nursery box trucks and horse-trailer tow rigs from those operations are welcome too, along with the title and registration for each.
The questions we get asked in Dania Beach
- My tanker tractor is parked near the Port Everglades fuel terminals. Is collection from beside the racks possible?Port Everglades’ petroleum terminal is 1.3 miles east of Dania Beach on Energy Information Administration records, so a tractor parked by those racks is close at hand. Give us the lot address and a contact who can let us in, and we arrange the collection there.
- My drayage day cab works the Port Everglades ICTF; what goes in my first message to you?The Port Everglades ICTF sits 2.5 miles east of town on the North American Rail Network, and drayage tractors from it are a regular part of what we see. Start with the VIN, a photo of the title and photos of the cab and fifth wheel.
- I have a small fleet in Dania Beach. Will you take several trucks together?Fleets in Dania Beach top out at 17 power units on FMCSA’s carrier census, and taking a handful of trucks in one visit suits that size. Send a list of each unit’s VIN, year and make with its title status.
- My finance company still holds the title on my Dania Beach moving truck; how do we clear it at sale?Eighteen Dania Beach carriers haul household goods on FMCSA’s census, and financed moving trucks among them can be sold. Ask your lender for a payoff letter so the lien can be released when the title changes hands.
