Two Hialeah yards and an intermodal ramp
The North American Rail Network places the HIALEAH (FEC) yard 1.2 miles west of Miami Springs and the HIALEAH (CSXT) yard 3.3 miles to the north-east. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those two railroads is usually parked within a few blocks of one of them, so give us the yard gate or the street where it sits and who holds the key.
Just 1.4 miles north-west, the Miami intermodal ramp is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Container tractors and chassis-pullers that work that ramp are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the plate and clear photos of the cab, the frame rails and the fifth wheel before anything else.
Liquid bulk at Norfolk Southern TBT
About 2.2 miles east of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Norfolk Southern TBT as a liquid bulk terminal. If your tractor has pulled tankers out of that terminal, keep its site inspection sheets and any hazmat paperwork with the title; they tell us where the truck has been without a long phone call.
Tankers and tractors that load there are often kept at the terminal itself. Tell us whether the truck is inside a terminal fence or in an outside lot, since a gate pass or an escort changes how we arrange the collection.
Stone, crushed rock and Pennsuco cement trucks
Mine Safety and Health Administration listings put FEC QUARRY 6.1 miles north-west, Miami Quarry 6.3 miles west and the PENNSUCO CEMENT PLANT 6.3 miles north-west, with the Epic Stoneworks dimension-stone quarry 4.1 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks, mixers and bulk tractors that run between those pits and job sites in the county fit what we purchase.
A rock truck parked at a quarry office is fine where it is. Have the registration in the owner’s name, any service records you kept, and photos of the body, the hoist or drum and the cab, and we will come to the pit gate rather than ask you to move it.
Movers, reefers and in-house fleets of Miami Springs
Of 1,074 Miami Springs carriers active in FMCSA’s census, 900 keep their loads inside Florida and 161 haul interstate, while 389 move only their own goods as private fleets. Whether you own one tractor or a yard of box trucks, a sale starts the same way: title, registration and a list of the units.
General freight is the cargo 695 of those carriers declare to FMCSA, with household goods at 110 and refrigerated food and meat at 91 each. A moving van, a reefer straight truck and a dry-van tractor all belong on the list you send us.
On the same federal census, 3,366 drivers work within 100 miles of base and 2,297 go farther. FMCSA’s census also lists one fleet based here with 440 power units and 220 drivers, and two others with 118 and 110. A fleet selling several units at once can send one spreadsheet of VINs and plates.
Inspection-stop model years for Hialeah-side haulers
Some 1,483 trucks belonging to Miami Springs outfits were stopped from August 2024 to August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2015, with 53.3 percent built ten or more years before. Put the model year printed on the registration next to the VIN in your first note to us.
The 178 hometown carriers filing mileage with FMCSA log a median of 18,875 miles a truck each year. Note the odometer reading in your first message, alongside the engine make, so the details match when we see the truck.
New registrations held level, with 39 carriers added in 2024 and 39 more in 2025 per FMCSA’s census. If you bought a truck from an operator who has since closed, make sure the title was signed over to you before you contact us.
Construction yards and nursery country
Construction accounts for 301 of the 3,946 jobs located in Miami Springs in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, beside 107 in transportation and warehousing and 95 in wholesale trade. Flatbeds, stake bodies and dump trucks from those contractors’ lots can go on one list for us, plates included.
Around Miami Springs, 273 building contractors and 25 warehouses hold establishments, by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. In Miami-Dade County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms, led by foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers; reefer and box trucks from those nurseries can be collected at the grower’s shed.
The questions we get asked in Miami Springs
- Can you collect a tractor sitting inside the HIALEAH (FEC) rail yard?The HIALEAH (FEC) yard sits 1.2 miles west of Miami Springs on the North American Rail Network, close enough that we collect there. Tell us who controls the gate and where the truck is parked inside.
- The dump truck’s title went missing in a move to Miami Springs; what now?Florida’s state title agency issues duplicate titles, and a Miami Springs owner applies through it before the sale. File for the duplicate, and meanwhile email the VIN plus pictures of the body and hoist.
- Do you buy trucks that work the quarries west of town?Miami Quarry, 6.3 miles west in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and FEC QUARRY to the north-west both load trucks we purchase. Send the body type, VIN and registration, and tell us which pit it sits at.
- Are you only interested in big fleets?Of the 1,074 carriers in FMCSA’s census for Miami Springs, 900 run intrastate, and a single truck is enough to start. Send the title and registration details and a few photos.
