Sell your semi truck for cash in Jacksonville the easy and convenient way

The Port of Jacksonville’s Talleyrand Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal 2.4 miles east, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings beside the Talleyrand Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, a rail intermodal ramp 2.4 miles north-east. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those ramps and nearby yards can stay parked where it last dropped a chassis. Give us the street address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

Of 6,613 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census for Jacksonville, 792 list motor vehicles as cargo. If yours is a car hauler, photograph the headrack, the decks and the ramps along with the tractor, and note whether the trailer goes with it.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, maps two Jacksonville rail yards 1.2 and 1.5 miles west of downtown. Trucks that dray between those yards and the riverfront rarely leave the county, so collection usually happens at the yard lot or the owner’s home.

On the other side of town, the Energy Information Administration records the Jacksonville South petroleum product terminal 2.1 miles south-east. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads there should come with its tank inspection paperwork and any hazmat placarding records, since those documents answer questions photos cannot.

General freight is the cargo listed by 4,338 local carriers in FMCSA’s census, while 676 haul machinery and large objects and 644 carry metal sheets, coils and rolls. Flatbed and step-deck tractors from the coil and machinery side are as welcome as dry-van units; tell us whether chains, straps and tarps stay with the truck.

Intrastate operations account for 4,444 Duval County carriers in that federal census, against 2,122 running interstate and 1,751 private fleets. A Florida-only truck still needs its title and current registration in hand; an interstate unit should also bring its IFTA and apportioned plate details so the paperwork closes cleanly.

Drivers based here split 12,687 working within 100 miles and 19,679 going beyond, per FMCSA. For carriers that report mileage, the federal census gives a median of 35,000 miles a truck across 1,289 operators. Read the odometer and add it to your first message along with the VIN.

Across 6,689 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 33.4% of them ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the steps are the same: VIN, odometer, title and a set of photos.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s census logged 626 new Jacksonville carriers in 2025 and 514 in 2024. FMCSA’s carrier census also includes Jacksonville operators with 2,296, 721 and 711 power units. Owner-operators and fleet managers selling one tractor or several follow the same process; send a list of VINs if more than one truck is going.

Of 809 bridges the National Bridge Inventory tracks around Jacksonville, 31 are load-posted and 8 clear less than 14 feet. The National Bridge Inventory’s lowest entry is structure 720079, where SR-10A passes over Palmetto Street at 12 feet 0 inches.

If your truck sits on a lot near Palmetto Street or behind one of those posted spans, mention it when you get in touch. Knowing the route in and out lets us send the right equipment to the right gate instead of guessing at the clearance.

Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 credit transportation and warehousing with 49,431 of Jacksonville’s 565,673 jobs, or 8.7%, and construction with 38,083. Manufacturing adds 27,438 and wholesale trade 24,432 in the Census Bureau’s LODES tables.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 2,897 construction establishments and 91 warehousing establishments here. Dump trucks, mixers and roll-off units from those builders can be collected from the job site or the contractor’s yard, with the title and registration ready for transfer.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 314 farms in Duval County, led by cattle, potted flowering plants and horses. A livestock hauler or a straight truck from a nursery operation is collected at the farm itself; just tell us which gate to use.

• My tractor sits in a lot by the Talleyrand Marine Terminal; does it have to come to me first?Leave it on the Talleyrand lot. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Talleyrand Marine Terminal 2.4 miles east of downtown Jacksonville, and we collect there. Tell us whose lot it sits on so pickup is arranged with them.
• Will the low bridge over Palmetto Street get in the way of picking up my truck?Not if we know about it. The National Bridge Inventory lists the SR-10A crossing there at 12 feet 0 inches, so give us the address and we plan a route that avoids it.
• My truck never leaves Florida; can Big Ugly Truck still take it?A Florida-only truck is collected the same way as any other. FMCSA’s carrier census shows 4,444 intrastate carriers in Jacksonville, and we buy their trucks the same way: title, registration, VIN and photos.
