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

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 499 active motor carriers based in Melbourne, and 254 of them list general freight as cargo. If your tractor or straight truck has been moving general freight around Brevard County, send the VIN, the title and a few clear photos of the cab and frame, and we can start from there.

Of those Melbourne carriers, 400 are registered for intrastate work and 98 for interstate work, according to the same FMCSA census, and 219 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title; if so, have the person who can sign for the business on hand when we arrange collection.

Seventy-six carriers here haul machinery and large objects, 65 haul motor vehicles and 49 haul garbage and refuse, per FMCSA’s census figures. Lowboys, car haulers and roll-off or rear-load refuse trucks all fit what we buy, so tell us the body type and the trailer, if one goes with it, when you first get in touch.

Melbourne carriers report 916 drivers who stay within 100 miles of home and 1,201 who go beyond that, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Whichever kind of run your truck has done, the logbook or ELD records help us see where it has worked, so keep them with the registration.

For the 71 local carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 17,586 miles per truck per year. Write down the odometer reading the day you contact us and photograph the dash, so the figure we discuss is the one on the truck.

The three biggest fleets in the city run 64, 58 and 28 power units, FMCSA’s census shows, with 82, 28 and 28 drivers respectively. If you are selling several units from one operation, a single list with each VIN, plate and parking spot lets us plan one visit for all of them.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026 put the median model year at 2021.5 across 108 Melbourne-based trucks. Whatever year yours is, the model year on the title and registration is what we work from, so check that both match the VIN plate.

In that same set of FMCSA roadside inspection records, 25.9 percent of the inspected trucks were ten or more model years old. If you kept your own inspection reports or annual inspection stickers, add them to the folder with the title; they give us the history directly.

New registrations keep arriving as well: FMCSA’s census logs 28 new Melbourne carriers in 2024 and 38 in 2025. If you started your company recently and are now selling a truck, make sure the title has been transferred into the business name before we collect.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Buck Hammock, an industrial-mineral mine 14.3 miles west of Melbourne, along with Brisbane Pit 18.5 miles south and the Sunshine Mine sand and gravel operation 19.5 miles south. A dump truck or tractor that works one of those pits can stay there for collection; just give us the gate contact and the site’s visitor rules.

Seventeen miles north, Cocoa has a rail intermodal ramp listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the COCOA-ROCKLEDGE rail yard sits 16.9 miles north in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle containers off that ramp are trucks we purchase; tell us the yard where the tractor parks between loads.

Up at the cape, the Energy Information Administration lists the CAPE CANAVERAL petroleum product terminal 20.6 miles north, and Port Canaveral’s South Cargo Pier 4, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, is 20.7 miles north on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If a tanker or a tractor is parked inside a secured port or terminal area, arrange access with the facility before we schedule the pickup.

Melbourne counted 60,666 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with manufacturing at 13,092, or 21.6 percent, and construction at 4,459. Box trucks and flatbeds that serve plants and job sites are welcome; list what the body carries and its dimensions when you write to us.

The same LEHD figures put wholesale trade at 1,881 jobs and transportation and warehousing at 797 in the city. On the County Business Patterns side, the Census Bureau records 360 construction establishments, so if your truck belongs to a contractor, bring the company registration along with the title.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 584 farms in Brevard County, and cattle, honey and potted flowering plants top its list. A farm truck, livestock hauler or nursery delivery truck parked out on rural land is fine with us; send directions to the gate and a phone number for whoever will be there.

If the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and you should apply for it before the sale so the paperwork is in your name. Have the registration, your photo ID and any lien release ready too; a lender listed on the title signs off before the sale.

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration lists 22 bridges in Melbourne, with 3 of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the street the truck is parked on, so the route to it and the trailer we bring both suit those posted limits.

• The dump truck I want to sell is still out at Brisbane Pit or the Sunshine Mine; does it have to come into Melbourne first?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Brisbane Pit 18.5 miles south and the Sunshine Mine 19.5 miles south, and we collect from the site. Give us the gate contact and any site safety rules.
• Are roll-off and packer trucks from a Melbourne refuse outfit something you purchase?They are: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 49 Melbourne carriers hauling garbage and refuse, and those bodies are part of what we buy. Send the VIN, title and photos of the body.
• My day cab parks by the Cocoa intermodal ramp between loads; will you collect it from that lot?We will: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Cocoa rail intermodal ramp 17 miles north of Melbourne, and we arrange collection where the tractor is parked. Tell us who controls the lot.
