Port of Palm Beach docks and the Palm Beach Terminal ramp
Sixteen and a half miles north of Ocean Ridge, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Port of Palm Beach - Palm Beach Terminal as a roll-on/roll-off terminal and the Palm Beach Terminal as a rail intermodal ramp. A tractor that has pulled chassis or flatbeds between those docks can stay where it is parked when you sell it. Send us the yard address and the name of whoever controls the gate, and the collection is planned around that lot.
Right beside the docks, at roughly 16.4 miles, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places a separate rail yard under the Port of Palm Beach name. If your day cab shuttled boxes between that yard and the ramp, photograph the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the cab interior, and include the VIN in your first message so the questions that follow are about your own tractor.
The West Palm Beach fuel terminal and its neighbouring rail yard
A petroleum product terminal in West Palm Beach, 16.3 miles north of town, appears in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal records. Tank trucks and fuel delivery units that load there and make runs back toward Ocean Ridge are on our list. Keep the registration with the truck and gather any tank inspection certificates you hold; they tell us what the unit carried without a long back-and-forth.
Closer in, at 13.8 miles, the North American Rail Network shows a rail yard at West Palm Beach. Straight trucks and tractors that make deliveries off that yard often sit at a shop or lot near the tracks between jobs. Wherever yours is parked, give us the street address and a phone number for the person who holds the keys.
Inland stone
Rock haulers on the north-west pit run
Out to the north-west, 23.5 miles from Ocean Ridge, Palm Beach Aggregates LLC operates a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and tractors with rock trailers that load at that pit are trucks we purchase from owners in and around Ocean Ridge.
For a dump truck, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab, and note the axle setup in your message. A dump truck parked out by the quarry gets collected at the quarry lot, and one parked at your Ocean Ridge home gets collected from the driveway.
Greenacres paperwork for an Ocean Ridge owner
Titles in this state come from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and its offices are county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists its office nearest Ocean Ridge as the Palm Beach County motor vehicle service center - Greenacres, at 4215 S. Military Trail, Greenacres, 33463, about 7.1 miles away on the same Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles location list.
Bring your identification and the truck’s registration to that Military Trail counter if the certificate is missing or still names a lienholder you have since cleared. Once the replacement is in your hands, put it with the keys and any service records, and the paperwork side of the sale is ready when we arrive.
Potted plants, horses
Foliage growers and horse farms across the county
Palm Beach County held 1,368 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the top listings there were foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine operations. Box trucks with liftgates that carry nursery stock, and stake-bed or gooseneck rigs that serve stables, are both trucks we take.
A nursery truck or horse-farm rig is often kept at the grower’s property rather than in town. Tell us which farm it sits on and whether a gate code is needed, and send photos of the box or bed as well as the cab so we see the whole unit.
Ocean Ridge jobs and the Navy reserve center to the north
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 380 jobs inside Ocean Ridge in 2023, so a truck based here is usually one owner’s working vehicle rather than one of a large lot. A landscaper’s dump truck, a contractor’s stake bed or a single tractor in a driveway all qualify; tell us the make, model year and VIN to begin.
Eleven point six miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NAVRESCEN W Palm Beach as a military installation. If your truck is parked on a base or any site with controlled entry, let us know at the start so a visitor pass or escort can be arranged for the pickup day.
