Tank work south-east and north-east of Forest City
Heniff, a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 8.2 miles south-east of Forest City, is the closest freight site to town. A tractor that pulls tank trailers in and out of Heniff may be sitting at that yard rather than in your driveway, so give us the exact gate or lot where it is parked and who can let us in.
North-east, at 13.6 miles, is Transflo CSXT, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics also records as a liquid bulk terminal. If your tractor worked between Heniff and Transflo, keep the title, the current registration and any service log in the cab so everything is in one place on collection day.
The Energy Information Administration lists an Orlando petroleum product terminal 17.1 miles south of Forest City. If you haul fuel from there, tell us whether you are selling the tractor alone or the pair, and send photos of each unit’s VIN plate.
Two rail yards south-east and north-east
According to the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the ORLANDO yard lies 10.2 miles south-east of Forest City. If your day cab is parked near that yard, a street address or a dropped map pin is enough for us to find it.
RAND, a second yard on the North American Rail Network, sits 13.7 miles north-east. Owners who switch between the two yards should photograph the cab interior, the fifth wheel and all four sides of the tractor so the photos and the paperwork describe the same unit.
Forest City’s wholesale routes and building crews
Wholesale trade holds 391 of Forest City’s 3,092 jobs, a 12.6 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks on wholesale delivery routes are a fit for us; have the registration card and a recent inspection sheet ready when you call.
Construction accounts for 215 jobs here, about 7 percent of the local total, on those same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks, flatbeds and crew trucks from contractors in town are trucks we collect, and a contractor selling one unit from a yard of several should tell us which VIN is going.
The Astatula Sand Plant to the west
Seventeen point seven miles west of Forest City, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Astatula Sand Plant as a sand and gravel operation. Dump trucks and end dumps that haul from Astatula may be staged at the plant or a contractor’s lot in Lake County, and we can pick up from either.
If your dump truck splits its week between Astatula and job sites in Seminole County, send us a photo of the bed, the hoist and the title’s front side before we schedule anything, and say which county the truck will be in when we come.
Cattle, horses and honey in Seminole County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 320 farms in Seminole County, with cattle, equine and honey listed as the top categories. Livestock haulers, stake beds and farm-plated trucks from those operations are trucks we buy; a farm tag is fine, and the title in the owner’s name is what matters.
If your truck is parked in a pasture or behind a barn, tell us the gate code and whether a tow rig can reach it on a dry track.
Near the Orlando research and logistics annexes
East of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Army Research Lab Orlando Simulations and Training Technology Center at 15.9 miles and Naval Logistics Support Annex Orlando at 16 miles. Contractors whose trucks support those installations should park the truck off base before pickup, since we collect from your lot, not from inside a gate.
If the truck carries contractor decals from that work, leave them on; photograph them with the rest of the truck and we will tell you if anything needs to come off.
