Taft and West yards, just south of Edgewood
A day cab that shuttles loads off those tracks often spends its nights on a lot near the yard gates rather than in town. Give us the street address where it sits and who holds the key, and the pickup gets planned around that lot.
Drivers who work transload runs out of Taft usually keep the truck’s annual inspection sheet in the cab. Snap that sheet along with the VIN plate and the door sticker, then send all three with your first message so we can identify the tractor before we ask anything else.
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal listed as ORLANDO stands 4.1 miles south of Edgewood. Tank trucks and tractors pulling fuel trailers load there, and many owners in this part of Orange County run exactly that equipment. If yours carried fuel, tell us whether the tank stays with the chassis or the tractor is being sold on its own.
Five miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a liquid bulk terminal. Hazmat tractors that worked between that site and the southern fuel terminal can be collected from either end; let us know which yard it is parked in and whether a gate code or escort is needed to reach it.
Dump trucks and the Four Corners sand operations
West of Edgewood, Mine Safety and Health Administration records show Center Sand Company at 19.3 miles and Four Corners Sand Mine at 19.4 miles. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers that haul sand from those pits back toward Orlando job sites are trucks we buy. A dump body, a tag axle or a tarp system all belong in the description, so list them.
If the dump truck lives out near the pits rather than at your house, we collect it there. Photos of the bed raised, the hoist and both sides of the chassis tell us what the listing alone cannot.
Construction crews make up a fifth of local employment
Among the 2,100 jobs counted in Edgewood for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), construction holds 429, a 20.4 percent share. Contractors on those crews run flatbeds, dump trucks and service bodies, and a contractor winding down a crew can sell several units at once. Send a list with each VIN and we will go through them together.
Wholesale trade accounts for 141 of those positions, or 6.7 percent, under the same LEHD figures. Box trucks and straight trucks from distribution work qualify too; have the registration and the liftgate details to hand when you reach out.
Foliage growers and the trucks behind them
Orange County holds 600 farms, and foliage plants, propagative material and potted flowering plants top the list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Growers shipping plants out of the county rely on reefer box trucks and enclosed straight trucks. If your nursery truck carries a refrigeration unit, photograph its control panel and note the unit’s make.
A grower’s truck often stays parked at the greenhouse between seasons. That is fine: tell us the property name and the nearest cross street, and we come to the greenhouse to collect it.
For Edgewood, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the Orange County motor vehicle service center - Orlando at 730 Sand Lake Road, Suite #106B, Orlando, 32809, 2.4 miles from town. A misplaced title gets replaced at that counter.
Bring photo ID and the VIN when you visit the service center, plus a lien release if a lender once held the truck. Once the duplicate title is in your hands, send us a photo of its front and we can move ahead with the sale.
