Yards and the intermodal ramp by the waterfront
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places two rail yards, listed as FT PIERCE and FORT PIERCE, 1.4 and 1.5 miles east of the city. If your tractor shuttles boxes off those tracks, give us the yard or lot address where it stands and we will collect it there.
A rail intermodal ramp named Fort Pierce, FL appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list 1.5 miles to the north-east. If your day cab has pulled containers from that ramp, send the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, and we can start from there.
Quarries to the west
Capron Trails, Fort Pierce Mine and the sand pits
Two crushed-stone quarries are on file with the Mine Safety and Health Administration close by: Capron Trails Mine 10.7 miles north-west and Fort Pierce Mine 14.3 miles south-west. Dump trucks and tractors with end-dump trailers working those pits often stay on site between shifts, and we can pick one up from the quarry gate if someone there can let us in.
Further out, Blue Goose Mine sits 21.3 miles north-west and Vero Rock and Sand 22 miles north-west, both sand and gravel operations according to MSHA. For a truck based at either one, keep the registration and any service records with the title so everything changes hands at once.
If your aggregate truck carries a body or hoist that was added after it left the factory, list it when you write to us, along with photos of the bed raised and lowered.
Seven hundred carriers and what they move
Out of 785 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census for Fort Pierce, a 409-strong group names general freight as what fills their trailers. If you run a box truck or a dry-van tractor in that general-freight group, send the VIN and title details along with photos of the cab.
Motor vehicles are hauled by 99 carriers here, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 89, and machinery or large objects by 83, according to that same federal census. Car haulers, log trailers and lowboys each carry their own paperwork, so have the trailer title ready as well if the trailer is part of the sale.
The census also records 59 new carriers registering in 2025 against 38 in 2024. A newer operator selling a first truck needs only the title in hand, a photo ID and the truck’s location to get started with us.
Florida-only runs and company-owned rigs
Of the active carriers on FMCSA’s books, 643 operate intrastate and 139 interstate, while 279 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries the owner company’s name on the doors, which is fine; just tell us whose title it is under.
Driver counts filed with FMCSA show 1,226 drivers working within 100 miles and 1,175 going further. A truck that runs long routes may be away from home when you contact us, so let us know where it will be parked once it is back home in Fort Pierce.
Among the 128 carriers reporting yearly mileage to FMCSA, the median is 20,000 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading ready with the VIN; those two numbers frame every other question we ask.
What the inspectors wrote down
Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 310 trucks belonging to Fort Pierce outfits; FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2020, with 27.7 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the year of yours, the same short list applies: title, registration and clear photos from all four sides.
Fleet sizes in the federal carrier census reach 145 power units with 145 drivers, followed by 77 power units with 56 drivers and 40 power units with 18 drivers. A fleet owner retiring several units at once can send one list of VINs and parking locations, and we will plan a single collection around it.
Paychecks, contractors and ranch land
LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 33,581 jobs in Fort Pierce for 2023: 1,841 in manufacturing, 1,503 in transportation and warehousing, 1,208 in construction and 642 in wholesale trade. Flatbeds, stake trucks and straight trucks working for those employers are all trucks we collect.
County Business Patterns lists 219 construction establishments and 4 warehousing establishments in the area. If a contractor’s truck is titled to the business, bring the paperwork showing who can sign for the company.
Cattle, honey and hogs head the county’s farm output, and its 404 farms are tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock haulers and farm trucks parked out on a ranch can be picked up right where they sit; send directions to the barn or gate.
Clearances between the highway and your lot
Of the 35 Fort Pierce spans listed in the National Bridge Inventory, a single one is load-posted and not one drops below 14 feet. That keeps the route to most parking spots open for our equipment, but tell us if the truck is behind a low gate or on a soft lot.
Mention any tight turn, locked fence or overhead line near where the truck stands. Knowing it ahead of time lets us bring the right equipment on the first visit.
The questions we get asked in Fort Pierce
- Our dump truck sits inside the Capron Trails Mine fence; can it stay out there for the pickup?Leave it inside that quarry fence. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Capron Trails Mine 10.7 miles north-west of the city, and we can collect the truck at the quarry once someone there can open the gate for us.
- My day cab hauls boxes from the Fort Pierce intermodal ramp; would you meet it near the tracks?We would, at whatever lot it occupies. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places that intermodal ramp 1.5 miles north-east of town, so give us the lot address near it and the name of whoever controls access.
- Selling the cattle hauler off our ranch west of Fort Pierce, which papers and photos do you want?The title, the registration, photos of the truck and trailer, and directions to the ranch. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 404 farms in the county, and we pick up from farm gates as well as yards.
