Freight, refuse and car-hauling outfits on the peninsula
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 252 active motor carriers with a Pinellas Park address, and 123 of them list general freight as a cargo they carry. If your tractor or box truck spent its working life on general freight runs out of a Pinellas Park yard, tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled, and send the VIN with your first message.
Machinery and large objects appear on 33 of those carrier registrations, motor vehicles on 31, and garbage, refuse and trash on 26, according to the same FMCSA census. Lowboys, car haulers and roll-off or rear-load refuse trucks all fit what we collect; tell us what the truck carried so the photos you send cover the body as well as the cab.
On FMCSA’s figures, 213 of the city’s carriers run intrastate and 38 run interstate, while 103 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck may still be titled to the parent business, so check whose name is on the Florida title before you contact us, and have someone who can sign for that business ready.
What roadside inspections show about local tractors
FMCSA roadside inspection records from 30 August 2024 to 26 August 2026 cover 237 trucks from Pinellas Park carriers, with a median model year of 2019. The model year is printed on the title and the registration, so read it off the paperwork and include it with your photos.
Of the 237 Pinellas Park trucks in that FMCSA inspection window, 29.1 percent carried a model year at least a decade back. Whatever the year of yours, the documents we ask for are the same: the title, the current registration, and any service records you kept.
Among the 43 carriers here that report annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 14,687 miles per truck. Give us the odometer reading as it shows on the dash today; a photo of the cluster with the ignition on settles it.
Small outfits and fleets near fifty trucks
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census for Pinellas Park run 48, 47 and 46 power units, with 56, 35 and 57 drivers. If you manage a fleet near that size and are retiring several units, send one list of VINs and the yard address where they sit, and we will plan the collection as a group.
Carriers here report 750 drivers who stay within 100 miles of base and 286 who go further, according to FMCSA’s census. A truck that ran local routes is usually back in its yard at night, so give us the yard address and the hours someone can open the gate.
New registrations continue: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 23 new carriers in Pinellas Park in 2024 and 12 in 2025. If your authority is newer and the truck is still financed, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready; the lien on the title is released before it transfers.
Manufacturing and construction jobs in town
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 45,683 jobs in Pinellas Park, 8,918 of them in manufacturing and 5,629 in construction. Flatbeds, stake beds and dump trucks that served job sites and plants here are trucks we collect, and a photo of the bed and any lift or hoist helps alongside the cab shots.
County Business Patterns, from the Census Bureau, lists 281 construction establishments in Pinellas Park and 8 in warehousing. A contractor’s truck is often parked at a job site rather than at an office, so tell us exactly where it is and whether a tow vehicle can reach it.
Wholesale trade accounts for 2,656 local jobs and transportation and warehousing for 1,642, on LEHD’s 2023 count from the Census Bureau. Straight trucks used for wholesale deliveries usually carry a commercial registration; send a photo of the registration with the VIN visible.
Rail yards, fuel terminals and bases across the bay
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the St. Petersburg rail yard 5.6 miles south-east of Pinellas Park and the Port Tampa yard 17 miles east. If your truck is parked by a rail-served lot, tell us who controls access so the pickup can be arranged with them.
To the east, the Energy Information Administration lists the Port Tampa Blending Terminal 9.7 miles away and the Tampa Terminal at 10.5 miles, both petroleum product terminals. A tanker tractor that worked those racks can be collected where it stands; keep any terminal inspection reports with the title.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Pinellas Park AFRC 2.1 miles east and MacDill Air Force Base 12.7 miles east, with the CITGO liquid bulk terminal 16.9 miles out. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant 17.1 miles east, so a mixer or bulk tractor parked near there needs nothing more than an address and a contact on site.
Bridges, farms and a missing Florida title
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration records 37 bridges in Pinellas Park, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the street address where the truck sits and any gate or overhead limits on the lot itself.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 115 farms in Pinellas County, led by potted flowering plants, honey and cattle. A nursery or farm truck stored on rural land is collected from the property; give us directions to where it is parked and a phone number for whoever will be there.
If the Florida title is lost, the replacement comes from the state’s title agency before the sale can close. Start that request early and tell us when you contact us, so the paperwork and the collection line up.

- My tractor is near the Tampa fuel terminals across the bay. Should I move it back over to Pinellas Park before you collect?The Energy Information Administration places the Tampa Terminal 10.5 miles east of Pinellas Park, and a tractor parked near it is picked up on that side of the bay; tell us whose lot it is on.
