Rail-to-truck transload
Liquid loads moving off CSX cars a mile and a half away
Just 1.5 miles below Franklin Park, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Transflo CSXT, where liquid bulk comes off rail cars and onto tank trailers. A tractor or straight truck that shuttles liquid loads off rail cars there is usually parked within a few minutes of home, so give us the yard address when you get in touch and we can plan the collection around the gate hours.
RSI Logistics, another liquid bulk transload site, is listed 3.9 miles south-east in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics inventory. If your tanker has served both terminals, mention it along with the tank’s last inspection paperwork, and send photos of the cab, the frame and the tank shell so the record and the pictures agree.
Gasoline and diesel loading
Bobtails and fuel tractors loading at the Everglades racks
According to the Energy Information Administration, PORT EVERGLADES EAST TERMINAL handles petroleum products 3 miles south of Franklin Park, and PT EVERGLADES sits 3.9 miles to the south-east. Fuel delivery tractors and bobtails that load at those racks are the trucks we expect to hear about from this corner of Broward.
For a fuel hauler, have the registration, the title and any hazmat or tank test certificates in one folder before we arrive. A truck kept inside a port-area lot may need a gate pass, so tell us who signs visitors in and we will bring what the security desk asks for.
Drayage from the south-east
Chassis and day cabs between the rail yard and the ramp
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the FORT LAUDERDALE rail yard 3.8 miles south-east of town. Day cabs that run drayage between that yard and nearby warehouses are a good fit for us, whether you own one tractor or several.
A rail intermodal ramp at Fort Lauderdale, FL, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings 4 miles south-east as well. If your tractor pulled container chassis off that ramp, send the VIN and odometer reading first; the rest of our questions follow from those two details.
Auto transport on the docks
Northport and Midport roll-on/roll-off docks
Port Everglades - Northport Terminal lies 4.1 miles south-east of Franklin Park and Port Everglades - Midport Terminal 4.8 miles out, both roll-on/roll-off terminals in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics inventory. Auto transporters and stinger-steer rigs working those docks can be collected where they stand, at the port or at a home yard nearby.
With a car hauler, photograph the headrack, the decks and the ramps along with the tractor, and note whether the trailer is part of the sale. Knowing that from the start keeps the paperwork for each unit straight.
Potted plants, foliage and horses
Flatbeds and box trucks off Broward farms
Potted flowering plants, foliage plants and horses lead the farm sales of Broward County, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 658 farms. Box trucks moving nursery stock and horse-hauling rigs from those operations are trucks we buy, as are the flatbeds that carry pallets of plants.
If your truck belongs to a nursery or stable, the vehicle title is the key document, not the farm’s paperwork. Send a few photos of the body and tell us whether a liftgate or a horse trailer goes with it.
The Lauderhill counter for a missing or liened title
A Florida truck title is issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and a Franklin Park owner deals with it at a Broward tax collector service center or license plate agent rather than a state building. The nearest one, Broward County motor vehicle service center - Lauderhill at 1299-A NW 40th Ave., Lauderhill, 33313, is 1.7 miles from town on the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office list.
If the title is missing or still lists a lienholder, start the duplicate or lien release at that Lauderhill counter before we collect. Bring your ID and the registration, and tell us where things stand so the sale is planned around the paperwork.
