Fort Lauderdale is Port Everglades: the fuel racks and the Northport ro-ro terminal sit south-east of downtown, with the rail yard and the intermodal ramp to the south. Of 1,501 active carriers with at least one truck based here in FMCSA's November 2026 census, three in four run inside Florida only. After general freight the cargoes they declare most are household goods, motor vehicles and machinery. Two in three of the drivers reported here work within a hundred miles.
So a Fort Lauderdale yard holds a fuel tanker off the port racks, a car hauler off Northport, a moving van and a day cab draying boxes off the ramp. The semi truck with a sleeper runs the interstate from a Fort Lauderdale yard. Construction is the biggest trucking employer in the city, and Broward County's farms lead with potted plants, foliage and equine, so a nursery reefer and a horse hauler work the county too.
Lost title in Fort Lauderdale
Broward County's tax collector runs its Fort Lauderdale motor vehicle service center at 1113 North Federal Highway, with Plantation, Lauderhill and Hollywood close by. A Fort Lauderdale seller can use any of them for a lost title or the title transfer.
A fuel tanker is read through its tank paperwork and its fittings, a car hauler through the headrack, the ramps and the hydraulics. A drayage day cab is read through the fifth wheel and the data plate. Shoot those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer, and say where in Fort Lauderdale it is. Tell us the terminal, the ramp or the lane it worked and whether the trailer goes with it.
Weight limits in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale's own fact is the water: 21 of its 131 bridges carry a load posting and one sits under fourteen feet. That one is Southwest 7th Avenue over the New River at twelve feet four. A loaded truck here has read the signs on every canal road. What Florida allows on its own roads, and the federal table on the interstates, is set out on the Florida page, not on this Fort Lauderdale page.
Tell us where the truck is in Fort Lauderdale, down by the port, south by the rail yard or across the New River, and send photos and the title.
