Ninety carriers, mostly working inside Florida
Of the 90 Edgewater outfits active in FMCSA’s carrier census, just 12 hold interstate authority while 78 keep their wheels on Florida roads. If your tractor or straight truck only ever ran Florida loads, that is the common pattern here, and the registration you hold for that work is the one we need to see at pickup.
Of those 90 Edgewater carriers, 44 run as private fleets hauling their own goods rather than for hire, according to the same federal census. A business selling a truck from its own fleet should have the title in the company’s name and someone who can sign for the company on the day the truck leaves the yard.
New registrations have been steady and small: two carriers joined the FMCSA rolls from Edgewater in 2024 and two more in 2025. If your Edgewater outfit registered in 2024 or 2025 and is winding down, the title, the USDOT number and the VIN are what to gather first.
Box loads, lowboys, log decks and roll-offs
General freight leads the cargo list, claimed by 42 Edgewater carriers in the federal motor carrier census, so box trucks, day cabs and van-trailer tractors make up much of what is parked around town. Photograph the cab, the frame and the trailer coupling, and note whether the trailer goes with the sale.
Nineteen local carriers list machinery and large objects, while 13 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, per FMCSA’s registry. Lowboys, flatbed tractors and log trucks from that work often sit at a job yard or a timber lot rather than at home; give us the exact location and a gate contact and we collect from there.
Refuse hauling shows up as well, with 11 Edgewater carriers listing garbage, refuse and trash in the census. Roll-off and rear-load trucks carry body serial numbers apart from the chassis VIN, so read both off the plates before you call.
Local drivers on a Volusia radius
Drivers attached to Edgewater carriers split 144 within a 100-mile radius and 83 beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck from the local group is usually parked close to the city when the owner decides to sell, which keeps arranging the collection simple.
Thirteen Edgewater outfits filed annual mileage with FMCSA, and their middle figure lands at 24,500 miles for each truck. Write down the current odometer reading along with the VIN before you contact us; those two figures answer most of our first questions.
In the federal census one Edgewater carrier lists 13 power units and 40 drivers, another 10 power units and 10 drivers, and a third 8 of each. If you are selling several units at once, list each VIN separately so every truck gets its own paperwork.
Model years from thirty-six Edgewater stops
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 36 Edgewater-based trucks between August 30, 2024 and August 19, 2026, with a median model year of 2016.5. If your truck was stopped in that window, keep the inspection report with the title and send us a copy.
In that same set of FMCSA roadside inspections, 44.4 percent of the trucks checked were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your registration, send it with the VIN and we will work from what the truck is.
Factories, builders and growers in Volusia County
Factory work fills 2,675 of Edgewater’s 5,750 jobs, or 46.5 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Trucks that shuttle parts and finished goods for those plants are often owned by the plant itself, so check whose name is on the title before you start a sale.
Construction employs 561 people in Edgewater on the same LEHD figures, 9.8 percent of local jobs, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 86 construction establishments. Dump trucks and equipment haulers from that trade can be sold straight from the site they last worked.
Across Volusia County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,374 farms, with cut flowers and cultivated greens, foliage plants and cattle at the top of the list. Stake-bed, refrigerated and livestock trucks from nursery and ranch work are welcome; have the registration and any service records on hand.
Yards and a bulk terminal near Edgewater
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the New Smyrna Beach rail yard 4.2 miles north of Edgewater and the Canaveral yard 22.3 miles to the south-east. A tractor that drays between those yards can be collected wherever it is parked along that stretch of coast.
South-west of town, 23.6 miles out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal. If your tractor pulls tankers to and from Transflo, tell us whether the tank trailer is part of the sale and send photos of both.
The questions we get asked in Edgewater
- My log truck sits at a timber lot outside Edgewater; will you collect it from the lot?Thirteen Edgewater carriers haul logs, poles, beams and lumber under FMCSA’s carrier census, and those trucks often stay at the lot. Give us the lot address and a contact who can open the gate, and we arrange the collection there.
- We haul our own goods out of Edgewater; what paperwork does selling one company truck take?Edgewater has 44 private fleets in FMCSA’s census, and for each the title must match the business name. Bring the title, the registration and a person authorised to sign for the company.
- The truck is parked by the New Smyrna Beach rail yard; does it have to come into Edgewater first?That yard sits 4.2 miles north of Edgewater on the North American Rail Network, close enough that we simply collect from where the truck is. Send the address and when someone will be there.
- Is a roll-off or packer from an Edgewater trash route something you take?Eleven carriers in Edgewater list garbage, refuse and trash in FMCSA’s census, and their roll-offs and packers are trucks we purchase. Send the chassis VIN, the body serial and photos of both.
