What the jobs along the shore look like
Ormond-by-the-Sea counted 669 jobs in 2023, a figure from the LODES series in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A truck for sale here may be kept at a home address rather than on a fleet yard; tell us the street address and where on the property it sits, and we arrange the collection there.
Construction held 53 of those 669 jobs in 2023, a 7.9 percent share, according to the same LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that serve local contractors all fit what we buy. Have the title in hand and note the body type when you first contact us.
Greens and cattle
Ferns, foliage plants and cattle in the county
Volusia County had 1,374 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its leading products were cut flowers and cut cultivated greens, foliage plants, and cattle. Refrigerated box trucks and straight trucks that carry greens and potted plants between growers and shippers belong on our list, and so do the livestock haulers that move cattle.
If your truck has run between greenhouse operations or pastures in the county, it may be parked at a farm gate rather than in Ormond-by-the-Sea itself. Give us the farm address and a name for whoever can let a driver in. Photos of the reefer unit or the livestock body help us understand the truck before we arrive.
Rail access
The rail yard at New Smyrna Beach
The nearest rail yard, New Smyrna Beach, sits 24.5 miles south-east of town, as the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows. Tractors that shuttle freight to and from that yard are a fit for us whether they are day cabs or sleepers.
A truck tied up near the New Smyrna Beach yard does not need to be driven back north before you sell it. Send us the yard or lot address, the VIN and a recent odometer reading, and the pickup is planned around where the truck already stands.
Getting the Florida title and records together
Florida titles are issued by the state’s title agency, and a duplicate for a lost one comes from that same agency. If the title shows a lender, bring the lien release with it. If the title is lost, request the duplicate before you contact us so the sale is not waiting on it.
Registration, any service logs you kept and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires round out what we ask for. Owners who bought the truck second-hand should keep the bill of sale with the title; it closes the gap in the chain of ownership.
How it works
From first call to pickup by the sea
Start with the form or a phone call: the year, make, model, VIN and where in Ormond-by-the-Sea or the county the truck is parked. We look at the photos you send and ask what we still need to know.
When we agree, a driver or carrier collects the truck from the address you gave, whether that is a driveway in town or a Volusia County farm. You sign the title over at pickup and we handle the transport from there.
The questions we get asked in Ormond-by-the-Sea
- My truck hauls ferns for a grower inland in Volusia County. Is a fern truck something you would take?Cut cultivated greens and foliage plants lead the county’s farm products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the box trucks and reefers that carry them are trucks we buy. Send the body type and photos of the cooling unit.
- The truck is near the rail yard at New Smyrna Beach. Must it come back up the coast first?New Smyrna Beach’s rail yard is 24.5 miles south-east of town on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from there directly. Pass along where near the New Smyrna Beach tracks it is parked and who can let our driver reach it.
- The Florida title for my truck has gone missing; who replaces it?A Volusia County owner asks Florida’s state title agency for a duplicate title. Start that request first, and tell us when you contact us that it is under way.
