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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 17 active motor carriers based in Key Biscayne, and the two biggest of them each run a single power unit with one driver. If your truck is one of those owner-operated units, you are the person we deal with from start to finish, so keep the title in your own name and have the registration card in the cab.

Ten of those carriers run intrastate only and seven cross state lines, according to the same FMCSA census, while six operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries the owning business on its paperwork; tell us whose name is on the title before we schedule anything, so the right signature is ready.

New registrations here are few: the carrier census shows two new carriers added in 2024 and one in 2025. A recently registered carrier selling its first tractor should send the USDOT number along with the VIN, which lets us match the truck to the authority it ran under.

General freight is the cargo class twelve local carriers list on FMCSA’s census, with paper products and utility work at four carriers each. Dry vans, box trucks and tractors that pulled them all fit what we buy, so photograph the body or trailer coupling along with the cab and the data plate on the door jamb.

Three Key Biscayne carriers record refrigerated food, as FMCSA’s carrier census shows. If your truck has a reefer unit, photograph its control panel and note the hour meter reading next to the odometer, and include any service records you kept for the refrigeration side.

Utility haulers make up four of the island’s registered carriers on that census. Bucket trucks, service bodies and similar upfits should be listed by type when you contact us, and if the upfit has its own serial plate, a photo of it saves a question later.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Port of Miami roll-on/roll-off terminal 5.5 miles north of Key Biscayne, with the POMTOC rail intermodal ramp at 5.6 miles. A day cab that shuttled containers between those docks can be collected wherever you keep it now, on the key or on the mainland; give us the street address and a gate contact.

Fisher Island’s petroleum product terminal sits 7.3 miles north on Energy Information Administration records, and Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, lies 11.3 miles to the north-west per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tank-hauling tractors from those runs are welcome; send the trailer type it pulled and any terminal access or inspection documents you still hold.

Two rail yards in Hialeah, one on the FEC and one on CSXT, sit 12.7 and 13.1 miles north-west of the village in the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The Miami intermodal ramp is 13.2 miles out on BTS records. A drayage truck parked near those yards stays where it is; we arrange the pickup there.

Epic Stoneworks, a dimension-stone quarry 10.9 miles north-west of Key Biscayne, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. Flatbeds and straight trucks that carried cut stone from a site like that should come with the title, the registration and clear photos of the deck and tie-downs.

Five bridges serve the village on the National Bridge Inventory, and the single load-posted one matters more here than height, since none of the five clears less than 14 feet. Tell us the truck’s gross weight and whether it will leave on its own wheels or on a trailer, so the route off the island is planned around that posted structure.

With zero low-clearance bridges on the Federal Highway Administration’s inventory for the village, height is rarely the limiting factor for a tall box or reefer. Weight is the item we will ask about, so have the registered gross weight from your registration card to hand.

Of the 3,935 jobs located in Key Biscayne in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 145 in wholesale trade and 85 in construction. Delivery trucks and contractor vehicles from that work are the kind we collect; a construction truck parked at a job site on the key can be picked up there once you confirm access.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 2,664 farms across Miami-Dade County, led by foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers and greens. Nursery box trucks and reefers that moved plants from county growers to the port qualify too; send the title, photos and a note on where the truck is parked.

• My truck worked the Port of Miami docks but is parked in Key Biscayne. Does it have to come off the island first?The Port of Miami terminal is 5.5 miles north of the village on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, but the truck can stay where it is parked. Give us the address on the key and we come to it.
• My business runs a single truck as a private fleet. Does a one-truck private carrier on the key qualify?Six of the 17 Key Biscayne carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, and a one-truck business is handled the same way as any of them. Have the title in the business name and someone who can sign for it.
• Is there anything on the island that limits pickup?One of the five bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in Key Biscayne is load-posted. Send the truck’s registered gross weight so we can plan how it leaves the key.
