Ensley’s carriers and what they load
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 110 active carriers based in Ensley, and 56 of them mark general freight as a cargo they accept. If your truck is one of those box or van rigs, note the trailer type and the hitch setup when you write to us.
Among the same Ensley registrations in the federal carrier census, 25 carriers list machinery and large objects, 17 list metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 15 list logs, poles, beams and lumber. Flatbed and lowboy owners should photograph the deck, the tie-down points and any coil racks or bunks, since those fittings describe the work the truck was set up for.
New registrations have held level, with 8 carriers added in 2024 and another 8 in 2025 according to FMCSA’s census. A carrier formed in either year that is now selling a tractor should keep its USDOT number and the truck’s title together, since both will be asked for at pickup.
Private and for-hire
Company trucks, local routes and long ones
In FMCSA’s census, 70 of the carriers registered in Ensley are private fleets carrying freight that belongs to them. For a contractor or supplier whose truck was a tool of the business, the title may sit in the company’s name, so have whoever signs for the company ready to sign the transfer.
The FMCSA census splits Ensley operations into 51 interstate carriers and 57 intrastate ones. If the truck only ever ran inside Florida, an intrastate registration is all you need to show; if it crossed into Alabama or beyond, bring the apportioned cab card along with the title.
Drivers working out of Ensley carriers number 292 within a 100-mile radius and 362 beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier filings. A tractor that spends its weeks on the road may be parked out of state when you decide to sell, and that is fine: give us the address where it sits and the name of someone on site.
Ensley tractors by unit count, mileage and year
At the top of FMCSA’s carrier census for Ensley, one operation fields 190 power units with 210 drivers, followed by outfits running 31 and 25. Whether you are retiring a single tractor or several units from a yard that size, send a list of VINs so each truck can be matched to its title.
For the 35 Ensley carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 16,667 miles per truck in a year. Have the current odometer reading ready with your photos; it is one of the first questions on any truck.
Across 364 Ensley trucks stopped for roadside inspection from September 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA’s records show a median model year of 2023, and 16.76 percent were built ten or more years before. Whatever the model year of yours, the registration and the most recent inspection report make useful companions to the title.
Yards and terminals south of town
The North American Rail Network places the Goulding rail yard 5.3 miles south-east of Ensley and the Pensacola yard 8.1 miles south. A drayage or transload tractor parked near either yard can be collected where it stands; tell us which gate and who holds the keys.
Liquid cargo moves through two terminals close together: the Energy Information Administration lists the Pensacola TPSI petroleum product terminal 8.8 miles south, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Trans Montaigne liquid bulk terminal 8.9 miles south. Fuel and tank haulers should include the tank’s last inspection certificate with the paperwork.
Saufley Field lies 5.6 miles south-west and Corry Station 8.6 miles south, both military installations named by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored on or near a base yard needs gate access arranged ahead, so give us the contact who can sign a visitor in.
Gravel, construction and county farms
Sand and gravel come out of the Quikrete Mine 14.9 miles east and the Molino Pit 16.1 miles north, two operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that work those pits can be picked up at the pit lot if the operator allows it, so check access with the site first.
Construction accounts for 1,721 of the 9,227 jobs in Ensley in 2023, an 18.7 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, while County Business Patterns records 67 construction establishments. Mixer, dump and flatbed owners from that trade should have the title and the registration in the same name before the sale.
Escambia County had 515 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cotton, cattle and honey. A farm truck or livestock hauler from the county counts as a commercial truck to us; photos of the bed or trailer, plus the title, are the place to start.
Routes and freight
Bridges and wholesale freight around Ensley
The National Bridge Inventory counts 16 bridges in and around Ensley, with none posted for load and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall reefer or a loaded lowboy can come out of most locations here without a detour, so the pickup address you give us is usually the address we use.
Wholesale trade holds 695 Ensley jobs and transportation and warehousing 238, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023. Straight trucks and day cabs from distribution work are welcome; a title with no open lien is the main thing to sort out before you call.
The questions we get asked in Ensley
- Can my tractor stay parked by the Goulding rail yard until collection?Goulding sits 5.3 miles south-east of Ensley on the North American Rail Network, and the truck can stay right there. Give us the lot address and someone who can unlock it.
- The title for my truck kept in Ensley has gone missing; which office in Escambia County replaces it?Florida’s title agency issues duplicate titles, so request one from its office serving Escambia County before the pickup is scheduled. Once the duplicate arrives, send us a photo of it with the VIN showing.
- Do you take dump trucks from the Molino Pit?Molino Pit, 16.1 miles north on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is the kind of site whose dump trucks we collect. Tell us whether the truck sits inside the pit gate or on a road outside it.
- Will you collect several units from an Ensley private fleet together?Seventy of the 110 carriers in FMCSA’s Ensley census are private fleets, and several of them could have units to retire at once. Send the VINs together and we will match each to its title.
