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

Of the 15 Lighthouse Point carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, 4 hold interstate operations while the other 11 keep their freight inside Florida. If your truck has spent its working life on Florida routes, the Florida title and registration are the two papers to find first; have the title in your own name, with the lien release beside it if the truck was ever financed.

Six of those 15 are private fleets, according to the same federal census, meaning businesses that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. A truck that belonged to a business here may be titled to the company rather than to you, so check whose name is on it and who can sign before you contact us.

The carrier census counts 10 drivers working within 100 miles and 13 running beyond that radius. A tractor that runs long routes may be parked out of town when you decide to sell; tell us the address where it actually sits, and we arrange collection there rather than asking you to bring it back to Broward.

General freight is listed by five Lighthouse Point carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and three list garbage, refuse and trash. A roll-off or rear-loader that served neighborhood routes here is usually parked at a yard rather than a driveway, so give us the yard’s address and the name of someone who can open the gate on the day.

Two carriers in the federal census haul household goods, and two more list metal in sheets, coils and rolls. For a moving van, photograph the box interior, the lift gate and the cab; for a flatbed that has carried coils, photograph the deck, the coil racks and the securement points along with the tractor.

Whatever the body, send the VIN, the odometer reading and a set of photos from all four corners with your first message. Service records help us understand the truck’s history, but if you have none, describe the work it did and we will ask about the rest.

Among the carriers in FMCSA’s census, the fleets listed here run 4 power units with 8 drivers, 2 power units with a single driver, and a single truck with one driver. With so few trucks per operation, selling one tractor can mean selling half of a fleet, so tell us if more than one unit is going and we can plan them as a single collection.

New registrations have been sparse: the federal carrier census records one new Lighthouse Point carrier in 2025 and none in 2024. If you are closing a business you registered here, keep the USDOT number and the company documents together with the title, since we need to see who has authority to sign for the business.

Port Everglades sits roughly 12.7 to 12.8 miles south of Lighthouse Point: the Energy Information Administration lists the Fort Lauderdale-Eisenhower and Port Everglades South petroleum product terminals there, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Northport roll-on/roll-off terminal. A tanker or car hauler that worked those docks can be collected from a port-area lot as easily as from a home address; just tell us who controls access.

Liquid bulk is close by as well, with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics placing the Transflo CSXT terminal 12.6 miles south-west and TransMontaigne Partners 12.9 miles south. For a tractor that pulled tank trailers between those terminals, list which trailers it hauled and keep any tank or hazmat paperwork with the title.

Rail sits a little further on. The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Fort Lauderdale rail yard 13.5 miles south, and BTS puts the Fort Lauderdale intermodal ramp at 13.6 miles. Day cabs that shuttle containers off that ramp are trucks we purchase; the VIN and current registration are the first things we need.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 8 bridges in Lighthouse Point, and 4 of them carry posted load limits, while none has clearance under 14 feet. When you tell us where the truck is parked, mention the street it sits on so our driver can plan the route in around the posted crossings on the canals.

In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,777 jobs in the city, with 220 in construction, or 7.9 percent, and 118 in wholesale trade, 4.2 percent. A dump truck, flatbed or box truck that served building sites or wholesale deliveries here belongs on the list of what we buy; photos of the body, the frame and the tires tell us most of what we need.

Across Broward County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 658 farms, with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine operations at the top. Nursery box trucks and horse-trailer tow rigs from the county are trucks we take too; tell us whether the truck comes with its trailer or on its own.

• My truck hauled refuse out of Lighthouse Point. Is that a kind of truck you buy?Three Lighthouse Point carriers list garbage, refuse and trash in FMCSA’s carrier census, and refuse trucks are among the trucks we purchase. Send the VIN, photos of the body and packer, and the yard address where it is parked.
• The truck is parked at a lot near Port Everglades. Must it come home to Lighthouse Point first?Port Everglades lies about 12.7 miles south on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal listings, and we collect the truck where it sits. Send the port lot’s address and the name of whoever controls its gate.
• The truck is titled to my business, not to me. Which papers matter then?Six of the 15 Lighthouse Point carriers in FMCSA’s census are private fleets, so company titles are common here. Have the title, proof that you can sign for the company, and any lien release ready before we arrange collection.
• Do the canal bridges in Lighthouse Point limit a pickup?None of the 8 bridges the National Bridge Inventory counts in Lighthouse Point is under 14 feet, though 4 carry posted load limits. Tell us the street name so the route in can be planned around them.
