Selling a truck in Mary Esther? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Hurlburt and Eglin gates

Two military installations on the town’s edge

Hurlburt Field lies 2.7 miles north-west of Mary Esther, and Eglin AFB Site 2 on Santa Rosa Island sits 5.1 miles west, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. If your truck is parked on a lot near either gate, give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the keys, and the pickup gets planned around access to that spot.

Moving trucks registered in Mary Esther are part of the picture too: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 4 local carriers hauling household goods. Owners of a box truck or tractor that did that work can send the title, the registration card and clear photos of the cab, the box and the plate, and we start from there.

Sand, gravel and mineral sites west and north-east

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records River Road Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 12.2 miles west of town, and the Quikrete Mine, another sand and gravel site, 24.9 miles north-west. Dump trucks and tractors that have hauled out of pits like these can be collected where they sit, whether that is a yard in Mary Esther or a lot closer to the pit road.

North-east of the city, at 21.8 miles, is G2C Sand Mine, an industrial-mineral mine on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Write down the VIN, take photos of the frame, the bed and the tires, and pull together any service records kept for the truck; with those in hand the questions we ask are short ones.

Terminal across the bay

Tank trucks tied to the bay-side terminal

Per the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal operates at Niceville, 12.7 miles north-east of Mary Esther. A tractor or straight truck that has pulled fuel to or from that terminal is a truck we purchase; tell us which trailer or tank it ran with and include any inspection paperwork on file.

When the truck stays parked near the Niceville side of the bay rather than at home, that is fine. Send the location, a phone number for someone who can open the gate, and photos of the odometer and the data plate, and collection is arranged at that address.

Small local outfits

Twenty-nine registered carriers, mostly tiny ones

Of the 29 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Mary Esther, 9 haul general freight, 3 do driveaway and towaway work and 3 move machinery and large objects. A flatbed tractor, a lowboy setup or a car-hauling rig from one of those operations fits what we buy, and so does a plain van tractor.

Operations here stay small: the census lists the three biggest local fleets at 3 power units with 5 drivers, 3 power units with 2 drivers, and 1 power unit with 2 drivers. A one-truck owner sells the same way a three-truck fleet does, with the title in the seller’s name and the current registration ready.

New registrations keep arriving slowly, with 2 carriers added in 2025 and 1 in 2024 according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you bought a truck when you set up and the title is still with a lender, tell us the lender’s name at the start so the payoff paperwork can be sorted out alongside the sale.

Short-haul and private fleets near the coast

Intrastate carriers make up 23 of the Mary Esther total, with 6 running interstate, and 16 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, all per FMCSA’s carrier census. A private-fleet truck sold out of a business needs a signature from someone authorised to sign for that business on the title.

Within 100 miles is where 27 local carriers report drivers working, while 20 report drivers going beyond that radius, the federal census shows. A truck that is out on a longer run when you decide to sell can be picked up once it is back, wherever it ends the trip.

Building crews in town, cattle and horses in the county

Of the 1,412 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Mary Esther during 2023, construction held 50, or 3.5 percent. Around town, the 28 construction businesses in County Business Patterns figures include contractors who may own a dump truck, a stake bed or a crane truck; send photos of the body and anything mounted on it with the title.

Across Okaloosa County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 444 farms, with cotton, cattle and equine as the leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and horse-trailer tractors from those farms qualify, and if the title has gone missing the state’s title agency issues a replacement before the sale goes ahead.

The questions we get asked in Mary Esther

  • Our rig sits on a lot by the Hurlburt Field gate. Does it have to come off base country first?Hurlburt Field is 2.7 miles north-west of Mary Esther on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the truck can stay where it is near there; a gate contact and the lot’s location near the base are what the pickup driver needs.
  • My dump truck loads out of River Road Pit west of Mary Esther. Can pickup happen right at the sand pit?River Road Pit, 12.2 miles west of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is a pickup point like any other. Send the location, the VIN and photos, and we arrange collection there.
  • The Florida title for a truck kept in Mary Esther has gone missing, so which office issues a replacement copy before the sale?For a truck titled in Florida, a duplicate comes from the state’s title agency. Apply for it first, then send us the replacement with the registration.
