Inland rail
PALM CENTER yard and the rail line inland
Head 7.9 miles west of Limestone Creek and you reach PALM CENTER, a rail yard that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics carry on their North American Rail Network. A tractor that shuttles freight to and from that yard is one we buy, and it may well be parked near the yard rather than at your house when you call.
Give us the street address where the truck actually stands, plus the VIN off the door jamb. With those two details, a pickup at a yard gate west of Limestone Creek is planned the same way as one from a driveway in town.
Chassis between ship and rail
Port of Palm Beach roll-on/roll-off and intermodal traffic
Thirteen miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Port of Palm Beach - Palm Beach Terminal as a roll-on/roll-off terminal, and at that same 13-mile mark it lists Palm Beach Terminal as a rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs that pull chassis between the docks and the ramp fit squarely within what we purchase.
On the North American Rail Network, the PORT OF PALM BEACH rail yard is placed 13.2 miles south-east of Limestone Creek. If your tractor has spent its shifts around the port, send photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel together with the registration so we see the whole rig before we talk.
Tank tractors on the petroleum run toward West Palm Beach
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal named WEST PALM BEACH stands 13.2 miles south-east of town. Tank tractors and straight trucks that load fuel there are welcome on our list.
If yours hauled product out of that terminal, keep any inspection reports and service records with the title. A short note on which loads the truck carried helps us ask the right questions about the tractor rather than about its route.
Sand and gravel haul
Sand and gravel north-west and west of Limestone Creek
Palm City Mine, a sand and gravel operation 14.2 miles north-west, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the same agency lists MC320 Mine, another sand and gravel site, 17.4 miles to the west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that run aggregate out of pits like these are trucks we collect.
A dump truck that lives at a pit can be picked up there. Tell us which gate to use and whether a lowboy or a tow rig can reach it, and have the title and registration ready for the driver who comes out.
Growers and horse barns
Foliage, potted plants and horses across the county
Limestone Creek belongs to a county where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,368 farms, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine listed as the leading products. Box trucks, reefers and horse-hauling rigs serving nurseries and stables sit within the range we buy.
For a farm truck, photos of the body or trailer matter as much as the cab, so take a few of each. A grower’s truck kept on the property is collected from the property, so share the address and the gate code if there is one.
A replacement title from the Westlake tax collector office
In Florida, titles come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, working through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. The office the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists closest to Limestone Creek is the Palm Beach County motor vehicle service center - Westlake, at 16440 Town Center Parkway South, Westlake, 33470, some 16.4 miles away.
If the title has gone missing, that county tax collector service center is where a replacement is requested. Bring your ID and the VIN, and tell us about any lien still on the truck so the paperwork lines up before collection.
