Sell your semi truck for cash in Palm Beach the easy and convenient way

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the West Palm Beach rail yard 2.7 miles north-west of town and a Port of Palm Beach yard 5.1 miles north. If your tractor has shuttled between those two yards, tell us which one it last worked out of and where it sits now, and we will plan the collection at that spot rather than on the island.

Palm Beach Terminal, on the port side 5.3 miles up the lagoon, appears twice in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: once for roll-on/roll-off cargo and once as a ramp where rail containers change hands. A day cab that has pulled containers or chassis off that ramp is one we buy; send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and the registration so we can match the truck to its paperwork from the start.

Five miles north as well, the Energy Information Administration lists a West Palm Beach petroleum product terminal. For a fuel tractor or a tank truck based near it, keep the title, the registration and any terminal access or inspection sheets together, and photograph the tank plate along with the cab.

Of the 11 island-based motor carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, 6 are private fleets carrying their owners’ own goods rather than hauling for hire. If your truck belongs to one of those private operations, the title may be in a business name, so have whoever signs for the company ready along with the registration.

Of those 11 carriers, the federal census counts 8 operating intrastate only and 3 crossing state lines. A Florida-only truck will carry Florida registration; an interstate unit may also have apportioned plates and IFTA decals, and those papers belong in the folder you hand over.

General freight is the cargo listed by 6 of the island’s carriers in FMCSA’s records, with household goods, logs and lumber, and machinery each named by 2. Moving vans, flatbeds and lowboys from those lines are all trucks we collect, and a photo of the body or deck tells us what we are looking at.

According to the federal motor carrier census, the biggest fleet registered in town runs 9 power units with 20 drivers, the next 8 power units with 8 drivers, and the third 2 power units with 1 driver. An owner with several units can sell them together; list each VIN and where each one is parked.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 41 in FMCSA’s census for Palm Beach carriers, against 19 who travel further. Most of these trucks stay inside the local radius, so the truck you sell is likely parked somewhere in the county, and that is where we come to it.

New registrations stay sparse here: FMCSA’s records show one new carrier in 2024 and one in 2025. If yours is a recently started operation selling its first truck, the title and the registration in the business’s name are the two documents to locate before you call.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 16,657 jobs in Palm Beach, of which 222 were in transportation and warehousing and 169 in construction. A box truck or a dump truck serving that work on the island can be sold from wherever it is parked; give us the address and a contact who can open the gate.

Wholesale trade accounted for 138 jobs and manufacturing for 63 in the same 2023 LEHD release. Straight trucks used for wholesale delivery count, and so do tractors; tell us the body type and the length when you write.

Eighteen construction businesses operate from addresses in this town, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or crane truck from one of them is a truck we buy, and a short note on what equipment is mounted on it saves a round of questions.

Of the 9 island bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, 2 carry posted weight limits, and not one has clearance below 14 feet. Tell us where the truck is parked so the collection route avoids the posted crossings.

With no bridge in town below 14 feet in the Federal Highway Administration’s inventory, height is not the issue for a tall box or a sleeper here; weight is. If the truck is loaded or carries a heavy body, say so when you send its details.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,368 farms in Palm Beach County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine listed as the top lines. A nursery box truck or a horse-hauling tractor kept on a farm out west can be collected right there; give us the farm address and the gate arrangement.

Palm Beach Aggregates LLC, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 20.2 miles west, sits in the same western county. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauls from that pit, send photos of the bed and the cab along with the title, and let us know whether it is parked at the quarry or at your yard.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics marks NAVRESCEN W Palm Beach, a military installation, 3.2 miles west of Palm Beach. A truck kept on a lot near it is no harder for us to reach than one in your driveway; send the address and who holds the keys.

Wherever the truck sits on the mainland side, the steps are the same: the title in your name or your company’s, the current registration, and photos of each side, the cab and the odometer.

• My truck is parked at the Port of Palm Beach. Does it have to come off the port grounds first?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the port’s Palm Beach Terminal 5.3 miles north of town, and we collect from there. Name the terminal gate the truck sits behind and the person who will walk us to it.
• Do you buy trucks from small private fleets on the island?Six of Palm Beach’s 11 active carriers in FMCSA’s census are private fleets, and their trucks are ones we buy. Have the company’s signer and the title ready.
• Will you pick up a truck from a farm out in the county?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 1,368 farms in Palm Beach County, and a truck on any of them can be collected where it stands. Send the farm address and directions to the barn or yard.
