Ramps and yards south
Intermodal ramps and rail yards below Nassau Village-Ratliff
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places a Jacksonville rail intermodal ramp 8.9 miles south of Nassau Village-Ratliff and a second one 10.9 miles to the south-east. If your day cab shuttles containers off either ramp and sits at your Nassau County address between loads, give us that street address and the collection is arranged there.
Pritchard yard lies 9 miles south and Simpson yard 11.2 miles south-east, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is staged in a lot near either yard instead of at your house, tell us whose lot it is and who holds the gate key, and have the title and registration in the cab or in your hand when we arrive.
Bulk liquid and fuel loads out of south-east Jacksonville
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists a liquid bulk terminal on the Norfolk Southern line 11.8 miles south-east of town. Tankers and the tractors pulling them out of that site belong on our list; send photos of the tank, the plate and the tractor’s frame along with the VIN so the paperwork matches the unit.
The Energy Information Administration lists a Jacksonville petroleum product terminal 13.7 miles to the south-east. Fuel haulers that load there usually carry tank test certificates, and handing us those with the title lets us close out a tanker sale without chasing records afterward.
Whitehouse field and the Heckscher fuel depot
OLF Whitehouse, a military installation 11.3 miles south, and FLC Fuel Depot Heckscher, 13.2 miles south-east, both appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If your truck has hauled to either site and is now parked off-base, point us to where it is; we do not need access to any installation to collect it.
Contract trucks that serve a base can carry gate passes, decals or permit stickers. Remove those or list them for us ahead of collection, and keep any contract-era maintenance log with the title, since those records describe the truck’s working history in detail a phone call cannot.
Dump trucks and job-site haulers in Nassau County
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts 44 construction businesses in this part of Nassau County, and dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer chassis from those outfits usually finish the week at a contractor’s yard instead of a driveway. Name the yard and a contact who can open it.
For a contractor selling one unit out of several, bring the title for that specific VIN and the most recent registration card. If the truck is still listed under a company name, have someone authorized to sign for the business available when we schedule.
Livestock trucks across the county’s farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 346 farms in Nassau County, with goats, equine and hogs the top categories. Stock trailers, horse haulers and the straight trucks that move animals between those farms are trucks we purchase from owners here.
A farm truck is often kept behind a barn or in a pasture lot rather than on paved ground. Tell us how to reach it, whether a gate needs unlocking, and if the title is in a farm name or a personal one, so the right person signs on collection day.
Sixty-eight inspected trucks and a 2018 median
FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-08-30 to 2026-08-19 cover 68 trucks tied to the area, with a median model year of 2018 and 33.8% of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the steps are the same: VIN, odometer reading, photos of the cab and frame, and the title.
If your truck appears in those inspection files, a copy of its last inspection report is useful to keep with the registration. Without one, describe the routes and loads the truck has handled around Nassau Village-Ratliff and our questions start from there.
