Tank work toward the Tampa waterfront
Two petroleum product terminals, Tampa Pt Ybor FL Asphalt and Tampa North, appear in Energy Information Administration listings at 6.1 miles south-east of Egypt Lake-Leto. If your tractor pulled asphalt or fuel trailers off those racks, tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays behind so we send the right equipment.
A short way past them, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records two liquid bulk terminals: Transflo CSXT at 6.8 miles and the CITGO Petroleum Corporation terminal at 7 miles. A truck that ran product from those gates may still sit in a yard down there rather than at your house, so give us the street address and the name of whoever controls access to that lot.
For any tanker or tractor from this corridor, have the title, the current registration and whatever inspection sheets you kept in one folder before you call. Photos of both sides of the cab, the tank or deck and the data plate let us confirm the VIN without a second visit.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Port Tampa rail yard 5.9 miles south-east of town and the UCETA yard at 8.3 miles. Day cabs that dray between those yards and nearby warehouses are part of what we collect, and the cab’s odometer reading plus the VIN are the two figures to send us first.
Berths 201 through 203 at Port Tampa Bay’s Hooker’s Point are listed as a roll-on/roll-off terminal by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 7.4 miles out. If a truck you own is staged inside a port gate, we need the gate contact and any pass rules before a driver can reach it, so pass those along with your photos.
Cement, aggregate and job-site trucks
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant 6.8 miles south-east of Egypt Lake-Leto. Mixers and bulk cement haulers that load there can be sold to us straight from the plant lot or from wherever they are parked between pours.
Construction accounts for 1,220 jobs located in Egypt Lake-Leto, 7.2% of the 16,897 counted for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 215 construction establishments for the area, so a dump truck or flatbed may be sitting on a job site; a site address and a phone number for whoever runs that site is enough for us to arrange collection.
Wholesale trade holds 1,032 local jobs and manufacturing 817 in the same LEHD tally for 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks from those businesses are welcome too; list the body type and the box length when you write to us.
A 2014 median on the roadside sheets
FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-08-31 to 2026-08-24 cover 376 trucks tied to this area, with a median model year of 2014. In those same FMCSA records, 59.8% of the trucks were ten or more model years old.
Whatever the model year of yours, the same short list applies: title in your name, matching registration, service records if you have them, and clear photos. If several of your trucks need to go, send one list with each VIN and where each unit is parked.
Nursery, cattle and aquatic-plant haulers
Aquatic plants, cattle and transplants top the farm output of Hillsborough County, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 1,992 farms. Stake-bed trucks, cattle haulers and nursery delivery trucks from those operations are trucks we buy.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or a back pasture, so describe the ground it is on and whether a tow truck can get close. If the title shows a farm or business name rather than yours, send a copy so we can confirm who signs it over.
Getting the title ready
A missing title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and the duplicate needs to be in hand before the sale closes. Start that request as soon as you decide to sell so it does not hold up collection.
If a lender is still on the title, tell us the lender’s name with your first message. Keep the lien release letter with the title so both arrive at pickup together.
