Middleburg’s freight, lumber and car-hauling carriers
Middleburg has 345 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and general freight is the cargo marked on 187 of those Clay County registrations. If your tractor pulled dry vans or flatbeds for one of those outfits, the title and the current registration are the two papers we ask about before anything else.
Machinery and large objects appear on 55 carrier records here, logs, poles, beams and lumber on 52, and motor vehicles on 47, according to that same FMCSA census. Lowboys, log trucks and car haulers are all on our list, so tell us which trailer the tractor last pulled and whether it goes with the sale.
Of those Middleburg outfits, 276 are registered as intrastate and 68 as interstate, with 121 running private fleets, in FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck that stayed inside Florida can be collected from the yard or driveway where it is parked now; give us that address when you first get in touch.
Newer outfits and small fleets around Middleburg
The carrier census from FMCSA shows 29 new carriers registering here in 2024 and 28 in 2025. Owners who started a one-truck operation in those years and are now selling should keep the USDOT number handy, since it lets us match the truck to its registration.
Among local operations, FMCSA lists one with 33 power units and 3 drivers, another with 12 power units and 12 drivers, and a third with 10 power units and 6 drivers. Where a fleet is selling more than one unit, a single list of VINs with each truck’s parking spot lets us plan the collection as one trip.
Driver records filed with FMCSA put 558 drivers here inside a 100-mile radius and 301 beyond it. A seller whose truck is out on a long run can arrange the sale now and point us to where the truck will be parked once it is back in Clay County.
Odometers and VIN plates along the Clay County roads
Seventy carriers in Middleburg reported mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 34,396 miles per truck a year. Write down the odometer reading when you send photos so the figure we have is the one on the dash.
Across 204 trucks checked at roadside between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2017, with 45.6 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, a photo of the VIN plate and one of the inspection sticker are useful to send alongside the cab and frame shots.
Goldhead, Grandin and the yards to the north
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Goldhead Sand Plant 16 miles south of Middleburg and the Grandin Sand Plant 22.3 miles south. Dump trucks that hauled from either pit can be picked up at the plant gate or back home, so tell us which, and name someone who can let us in.
Northward, the BALDWIN rail yard sits 16.4 miles away and the WEST JACKSONVILLE yard 22.1 miles to the north-east, per the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles to those yards does not need to come back to Middleburg for us to collect it.
Jacksonville’s Fowden Intermodal Terminal is 22.3 miles north-east and the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal 21.9 miles out, both on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. For a tanker or a container tractor based near those ramps, send the VIN, the title holder’s name and the yard address in one message.
Collecting behind the gates at Cecil Field NADEP and DLA - DRMS
Cecil Field NADEP lies 12.4 miles north of town and the DLA - DRMS installation 15.4 miles north-east, on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map of military sites. If your truck sits behind a gate at either, tell us early who signs visitors in so the pickup can be booked with them.
Trucks parked off base on a contractor’s lot work the same way: the owner named on the title signs, and the lot manager only needs to know when we are arriving. Keep the title and a photo ID together for the handover.
Building crews and cattle farms that keep Middleburg trucks busy
Construction accounts for 188 of the 1,589 jobs counted in Middleburg in 2023, or 11.8 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Across the area, County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 166 construction establishments; a dump truck or flatbed used by one of them can be sold by whoever holds the title, even if the business has closed.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 326 farms in Clay County, with cattle, propagative material and horses at the top. Livestock haulers, nursery box trucks and horse-trailer tractors parked out on a farm are collected where they stand, so share the farm road and gate details along with the photos.
The questions we get asked in Middleburg
- Our dump truck hauls out of Goldhead Sand Plant and is sitting there now; does it need driving into Middleburg first?Goldhead sits 16 miles south of Middleburg on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from the plant itself.

- We have three or four Middleburg units to let go at once; can they go in one sale?Fleets here range up to 33 power units in FMCSA’s carrier census, and we handle more than one truck at a time. Send one list with each VIN and where each unit is parked.
- Before a pickup off a Middleburg driveway, what title papers and truck photos help most?Clay County trucks checked by FMCSA roadside inspectors have a median model year of 2017, and whatever yours is, start with the title, the registration, the VIN and photos of the cab, frame and odometer.
- The tractor is parked near Fowden Intermodal Terminal in Jacksonville; is that within reach for a Middleburg sale?The Fowden Intermodal Terminal is 22.3 miles north-east of Middleburg on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and a truck parked there or at a nearby yard is collected where it sits. Name the yard and who there holds the keys.
