Palm Beach dockside
Ro-ro decks and an intermodal ramp eight miles north-east
Port of Palm Beach - Palm Beach Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics about 8.2 miles north-east of Pine Air. A tractor that has pulled chassis or flatbeds on and off that dock can stay parked wherever it last dropped; give us the yard address and a contact who can let us in.
Beside it, Palm Beach Terminal appears in the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing as a rail intermodal ramp at the same 8.2-mile distance. If your day cab has shuttled boxes between the ramp and warehouses around Pine Air, send the VIN, the odometer reading and clear photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel before anything else.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, adds a PORT OF PALM BEACH rail yard roughly 8.1 miles out in that north-east direction. Owners who ran drayage around that yard should keep any gate logs or dispatch sheets with the truck, since they tell us where it has worked better than a description can.
West Palm Beach yards up the road from Pine Air
Under six miles away, at 5.9 miles to the north-east, sits the WEST PALM BEACH rail yard on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A straight truck or tractor kept near that yard does not need to be driven down to Pine Air for us; we collect from the lot where it sits.
The Energy Information Administration records a WEST PALM BEACH petroleum product terminal some 8.1 miles north-east of town. Tank-equipped tractors and fuel straight trucks that loaded there are on the list of what we buy, so tell us the tank’s capacity and compartment count, and include photos of the plate on the barrel.
Owners of fuel units should have the registration and any tank inspection records together before we talk. With those in hand, the questions we ask stay about the truck itself and not about missing documents.
A Florida Highway Safety service center just outside Pine Air
Titles here are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles places its Palm Beach County motor vehicle service center - Delray Beach at 501 S. Congress Ave., Delray Beach, 33445, which its locations list puts about 1.4 miles from Pine Air by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
If the title is lost, that Delray Beach service center is where a seller in Pine Air applies for a duplicate, and the agency’s own liens and titles pages explain the forms. Bring your photo identification and the truck’s VIN, and if a lender was ever recorded on the title, ask the counter about the lien release at the same visit.
Once the duplicate is in hand, send us a photo of the front and back along with the registration. A title in the seller’s name, matching the VIN on the door plate, is what lets the sale go ahead.
Stone trucks from Palm Beach Aggregates to the west
Palm Beach Aggregates LLC, a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies about 16.5 miles west of Pine Air. Dump trucks, end-dump tractors and water trucks that have run out of a pit like that are trucks we purchase, and the bed and hoist should show up clearly in your photos.
A dump truck that is still parked at a quarry or a contractor’s lot west of town can be collected from there. Let us know whether the site needs a visitor escort or set gate hours, and we will arrange the pickup around those conditions.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also places a facility named Port of Palm Beach District, FL roughly 23.9 miles west. If your truck sits out that way, give us the nearest cross street so the driver can find it.
Palm Beach County nursery stock and horse country
Around Pine Air, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,368 farms in Palm Beach County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine ranked as its top listings. Refrigerated box trucks, stake beds and horse-hauling rigs that serve nurseries and stables fit what we collect.
For a reefer box, include the make and model of the refrigeration unit and its hour meter in your message. For a horse hauler or a tractor that pulls one, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays behind.
A truck on farm plates is sold on its title like any other, so the Pine Air owner’s name should appear on both the title and the registration before you contact us.
Pine Air at work
Small town, short list of workplaces
Pine Air counted 329 jobs located in town during 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Two and a half miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NAVRESCEN W Palm Beach as a military installation.
With a workplace base of that size, many trucks here belong to owner-operators who park at home. A truck in a driveway or on a residential street in Pine Air is fine for us to collect; just tell us whether a tow truck can reach it and if anything blocks the way.
