Twenty-one small Oak Hill outfits
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 21 active carriers registered in Oak Hill, and nineteen of those run intrastate only, with just two crossing state lines. A truck from a town like this has usually stayed inside Florida, so the plate, the Florida title and a Florida registration card are the three papers to pull out first.
Ten of the Oak Hill carriers are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning they move their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your rig hauled for your own business, tell us what that business was and send photos of the body or the bed it carries, since that tells us what kind of truck we are collecting.
The biggest operation on the federal carrier register here lists four power units and seven drivers, followed by one with two power units and another with a single truck. Owner-operators and two-truck shops can sell one unit at a time; give us the VIN, the odometer reading and the address where it sits.
Deck, log and car-hauling rigs in Oak Hill
Nine Oak Hill carriers list general freight, eight list machinery and large objects, four list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and four list motor vehicles in FMCSA’s census. That mix points to box trucks and tractors, lowboys and flatbeds, log trailers and car carriers parked around town.
A flatbed or lowboy that moved equipment should come with photos of the deck, the ramps and the tie-down points along with the cab. For a car hauler, show the upper deck and the hydraulics, and mention whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.
Lumber and pole rigs often go out with their bunks and standards fitted. Photograph those from both sides and tell us if the trailer has a separate Florida title; a titled trailer is its own piece of paperwork at signing.
Oak Hill mileage and driver radius
Five Oak Hill carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median was 35,000 miles a truck. Treat that only as a reference point and give us the odometer figure on your own tractor or straight truck when you first get in touch.
On driver radius, FMCSA’s census counts 22 drivers who stay close to home and 17 who range farther out. Either way, the truck can be collected from your yard, your driveway or a job site in town; you do not need to bring it anywhere.
Coastal yards
New Smyrna Beach yard to Port Canaveral
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a rail yard at New Smyrna Beach 10.8 miles north-west of Oak Hill and the Canaveral yard 15.7 miles to the south. If your truck sits near either yard after a final load, leave it there and send us the location with a gate contact.
Twenty-five miles down the coast, the Canaveral Port District appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port listings. A tractor parked at a lot by the port can be picked up where it stands; tell us whose property it is on so access is arranged with them before the visit.
Greens and herds
Fern growers, foliage and cattle
Around Oak Hill, growers ship greens and nursery plants: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,374 farms across Volusia County, with cut flowers and cultivated greens, foliage plants and cattle listed first. Refrigerated box trucks and stock trailers that served those farms are trucks we collect.
For a reefer unit, photograph the cooling unit and its hour meter, and note the make of the refrigeration system. For a livestock trailer, include pictures of the floor and the gates along with the hitch.
Builders and jobs around town
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts eight construction establishments in the Oak Hill area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put local employment at 262 in 2023. Dump trucks, stake beds and service bodies used on building sites are part of what we buy.
If the truck is still parked on a construction site, give us the site address and the name of whoever controls the gate. Keep any service records you have together with the title so they travel with the truck.
Service center
A lost title and the New Smyrna Beach center
Florida titles come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which handles them through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For Oak Hill sellers, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the Volusia County motor vehicle service center - New Smyrna Beach, at 124 N Riverside Dr., New Smyrna Beach, 32168, about 11.5 miles away.
If the title is missing, that service center is where a duplicate is requested before the sale. Should a lender still be listed, bring the lien release with you, and check that the name on the title matches the seller’s ID.
The questions we get asked in Oak Hill
- My tractor ended its last run beside the Canaveral yard south of Oak Hill; can it be collected there?The Canaveral yard is 15.7 miles south of Oak Hill on the North American Rail Network, and we collect the truck where it sits there. Pass along the yard address plus whoever holds the gate key.
- My Florida title went missing; where would an Oak Hill owner get a new copy made up?The Volusia County motor vehicle service center - New Smyrna Beach, at 124 N Riverside Dr., about 11.5 miles from Oak Hill, handles titles for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Ask for the replacement at that counter before we arrange collection.
- My Oak Hill business has a single private truck; is one unit enough to sell?Ten of Oak Hill’s 21 active carriers in FMCSA’s census are private fleets, and many run one or two trucks. A single unit is fine; give us the VIN, the odometer reading and where it is parked.
