Macclenny’s home-based haulers, intrastate and out
Of the 84 Macclenny motor carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, a 56-to-28 split favours Florida-only work over interstate runs. If your tractor stayed inside Florida, have the Florida registration in the cab folder when we look at it; if it ran interstate, add the cab card and any apportioned plate paperwork.
Of those 84 Macclenny outfits, 27 operate as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire, according to the same federal census. A truck that belonged to a farm, a contractor or a supply business in town is exactly the kind we collect, so tell us who owned it on paper and whose name sits on the title.
The largest fleets registered here are modest: FMCSA lists one with 13 power units, one with 11 and one with 7. Owners selling a single tractor out of a small yard like these can send us the VIN, a few photos of the cab and frame, and the address where it sits.
Log loads, car haulers and dry freight
General freight leads the cargo declarations in FMCSA’s census at 36 Macclenny carriers, with 12 hauling motor vehicles and 11 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber. Log trucks and car-hauler rigs both fit what we collect; say which body or trailer goes with the tractor so we plan the pickup for the full unit.
Nine local carriers list machinery and large objects among their loads in the FMCSA census. If your truck pulled a lowboy or step deck for equipment moves, photograph the trailer deck, the ramps and the plate on the neck so we know what comes with it.
Nineteen Baker County seat carriers file yearly mileage with FMCSA, and their middle figure sits at 35,500 miles a truck. Note your odometer reading when you first contact us; it is one of the first two things we ask for, along with the VIN.
How old the local rigs run, per federal inspectors
Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 55 trucks run by Macclenny outfits, and FMCSA roadside inspection records place their middle model year at 2018. Those FMCSA inspection records put 36.4 percent of the trucks at ten or more model years. Put the title’s model year beside the make and model when you first write to us about a Macclenny truck.
Keep any inspection reports from those roadside stops with the truck. Alongside your service records, they give us the truck’s history on paper, which photos alone cannot show.
Yards and ramps along the line to Jacksonville
The North American Rail Network puts the Baldwin rail yard 8.4 miles east of Macclenny and the Pritchard yard 22.4 miles out in the same direction. If your tractor is parked near either yard after its last run, leave it there and give us the gate contact; we come to the truck.
Two Jacksonville rail intermodal ramps sit 22.7 and 24.3 miles east of town, as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records them. Day cabs that shuttled containers between those ramps and Baker County yards can be collected at the ramp lot or at home, whichever is easier to reach.
Liquid bulk moves through Norfolk Southern TBT (RSI Logistics), 24.3 miles east, and Transflo CSXT, 24.4 miles east, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that pulled tank trailers to those transload terminals should come with its hazmat placard history and the tank trailer’s own paperwork if the trailer is part of the sale.
Navy ground between town and the coast
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Cecil Field NADEP 14.9 miles east of Macclenny and OLF Whitehouse at 16.1 miles. If your truck is stored on property near either installation, tell us whether a pass or escort is needed so the collection is set up with whoever controls the gate.
Trucks parked at a home in Macclenny rather than a yard are just as simple: send the street address, note whether a tow vehicle can reach it, and have the title and keys ready on the day.
Cattle, honey and construction work
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 330 farms in Baker County, with cattle, honey and hogs at the top of the list. We pick up farm trucks, cattle haulers and flatbeds at the barn or pasture gate; drop a map pin if the lane to it has no marker.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 44 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments in the area, and the LEHD job counts list 166 construction jobs out of 3,691 in 2023. Dump trucks and service bodies from those contractors fit what we collect; bring the registration and any equipment manuals that go with the body.
The questions we get asked in Macclenny
- Can you collect a log truck left near the Baldwin yard instead of in Macclenny itself?Baldwin’s rail yard sits 8.4 miles east of town on the North American Rail Network, and we collect trucks there or anywhere else around Baker County. Give us the address and a contact who can open the yard.
- Does a tractor that never left Florida still qualify for collection from Baker County?Fifty-six of the 84 Macclenny carriers in FMCSA’s census run intrastate only, so a Florida-only tractor is common here. Keep the Florida title and registration together for pickup day in Baker County.
- Which details help most when listing a Macclenny truck with you?For a Baker County truck, start with the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires, plus the address where it is parked in or around Macclenny.
