Construction on Anna Maria Island
Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that serve island job sites are the kind of equipment we buy here, and the truck can stay at the site or the yard where it is parked between jobs.
If one of those outfits is retiring a truck, have the title in the company name ready, along with the registration and whoever signs for the business, so the paperwork matches the owner on record.
A small contractor on the island may keep a single truck in a driveway or a beachside storage lot. Tell us the street address and any gate code or height limit at the lot, and send photos of the cab, the body and the VIN plate so we know what we are coming to see.
Fuel and freight across the bay at Port Manatee
Port Manatee holds a petroleum product terminal 13.1 miles north-east of Holmes Beach, according to the Energy Information Administration. Tankers and tractors that load fuel there qualify for a sale to us; keep any terminal access papers or inspection reports that travel with the truck, since they tell its working story alongside the photos.
A Port Manatee rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 14.4 miles north-east of town. Day cabs that shuttle between the yard and nearby warehouses can be sold where they sit, so long as someone can let us onto the property.
Further east, 22.1 miles from Holmes Beach, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Manatee County Port, FL. An island owner with a truck at that waterfront can leave it parked there.
Ten point three miles east of town, the North American Rail Network shows a rail yard named BRANDENTON. Tractors that pull trailers between that yard and island addresses fall within what we purchase, and the VIN plus the odometer reading are the two details to send first.
A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled from a mine site like that is welcome; tell us whether it is parked at the pit or at your home so we can plan the collection.
Mine and rail sites often control who comes through the gate. Before we schedule a visit, name the person who can sign us in, and keep the truck’s keys and title together with them.
Box trucks and reefers that move nursery stock, along with livestock haulers and farm flatbeds, are part of what we buy from county growers and ranchers.
A farm truck often lives in a barn or a field lane rather than a paved lot. Send a pin for the gate, say whether the ground holds a tow truck, and include photos of the plates, the VIN and the body so the visit is planned around the property.
A clean title in your name, or in your company’s, is the main document we need. If the title for a Manatee County truck has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request early keeps the sale moving once we agree on the truck.
Along with the title, gather the current registration, any lien release if the truck was financed, and service records if you have them. None of the records beyond the title is required, but each one answers a question before we have to ask it.
Pinellas Park AFRC, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 23.8 miles north of Holmes Beach. Owners who live on the island but keep a truck parked up toward Pinellas Park can sell it from home; the truck does not need to come south.
Give us the address where it is parked and a phone number for whoever holds the keys there. With that, the photos and the title, we have what is needed to arrange the pickup.
The questions we get asked in Holmes Beach
- Do you buy nursery delivery trucks and cattle haulers from Manatee County farms?Manatee County’s 692 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lead with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and cattle, and we buy the box trucks, reefers and livestock haulers that serve them.
