Log haulers and freight carriers based around Madison
Out of 88 active Madison carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 24 haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, a little over a quarter of the town’s trucking firms. If your tractor has pulled a log trailer, tell us the trailer type and whether it goes with the tractor, so we know what we are collecting.
General freight is the cargo 40 of those Madison carriers report to FMCSA, while 20 list machinery and large objects and 14 list motor vehicles. A car hauler, a lowboy and a dry van tractor all fit what we buy here; send the VIN, the registration and a few clear photos of the cab and the frame to start.
Eleven new carriers registered with FMCSA in Madison during 2025, against four the year before. If you started a small operation recently and are now selling its truck, have the registration and the title in the company name ready, along with anything showing who can sign for the business.
Madison trucks that stay in Florida and those that leave it
Of the Madison carriers in the federal census, 49 run intrastate only and 38 hold interstate authority, FMCSA reports. A truck that stayed inside Florida usually sits close to home between loads, so give us the yard address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Private fleets account for 36 of the carriers counted in Madison by FMCSA, meaning companies that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your business owns the tractor as part of its own operation, a letter or resolution naming the person allowed to sell it keeps the transfer simple.
Drivers at Madison carriers split nearly evenly, with 138 working inside a hundred-mile radius and 146 going farther, according to the carrier census. If your truck is out on a long route right now, tell us where it will be parked when it returns and we will arrange collection there.
Model years seen on trucks stopped near Madison
A 2015 median model year shows up across the 178 Madison-carrier trucks that FMCSA roadside inspection records logged from August 2024 through August 2026. Have the model year, engine make and VIN on hand when you call; those three details open the conversation.
Just over six in ten of those Madison trucks, 61 percent by the same FMCSA inspection records, carry a model year at least a decade back. Whatever year your tractor is, send any inspection reports or service records you kept along with the photos.
Read the odometer before you contact us and include it with the VIN, since we ask for both at the start.
Selling several tractors from one Madison yard
At the top of Madison’s FMCSA census, one carrier fields 65 power units with 50 drivers, a second 56 with 34, and a third 53 tractors with only 18 drivers. If you are moving more than one tractor out of a yard like that, list each unit’s VIN and where it is parked so all of them can be seen together.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 18 construction establishments in the area, and a dump truck or equipment hauler from one of them is a truck we take. Send the unit’s body type, the title and a photo of any attached equipment with your request.
East on the mine road
Hauling for Swift Creek Mine off the Madison road east
Swift Creek Mine, an industrial-mineral mine listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 19.3 miles east of Madison. If your truck has hauled out of the mine and is parked on site, give us the gate contact and the location so the pickup can be scheduled with them.
Mine work often means a truck is parked away from town between jobs. Wherever yours sits, near Swift Creek or in a yard in Madison, we come to it and you leave it parked where it is.
Nursery and row crops
Corn, soybeans and nursery plants around town
Around Madison, potted flowering plants, corn and soybeans lead the farm output across the 645 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Madison County. Grain trucks and nursery delivery trucks from those farms are on our list; tell us the body style and send pictures of the bed or box.
Farm trucks are often titled to a family member or a farm business rather than to the driver. Before you contact us, check whose name is on the Florida title and make sure that person is available to sign it at collection.
Pinckney Street
A duplicate Florida title from the Pinckney Street service center
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. In Madison that office is the Madison County motor vehicle service center at 229 SW Pinckney St., Room #102, Madison, 32340, about 0.2 miles from the center of town, per the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office list.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate at that Pinckney Street office before we arrange collection. Bring your identification and the VIN, and if a lender is still listed, ask the lender for its lien release so the new title comes back clear.
