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

Plantation sits in Broward County a short run west of Port Everglades, and the tractors, box trucks and car haulers registered here spend their days between the port terminals, the Fort Lauderdale rail ramps and the neighbourhoods off Broward Boulevard.

Selling a truck in Plantation? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

East to the port

Fuel terminals and tank work toward Port Everglades

Port Everglades East Terminal, a petroleum product terminal 6.7 miles east of Plantation on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and the PT Everglades terminal 8.2 miles out both load tank trucks headed back west. If your tractor pulled fuel from either rack, keep its hazmat placard history and any terminal access records together with the title before you call.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics maps also place a liquid bulk terminal at Transflo CSXT, 5.8 miles east, and a second one 8 miles east. A tanker or tractor parked near either yard can stay put; give us the gate address and a name who can let us in, and we will arrange collection there.

Rail and ro-ro

Container ramps and the Northport docks

Fort Lauderdale’s intermodal ramp sits 8.1 miles east, and the ICTF container transfer facility another mile beyond at 9.1 miles, both per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that drayed boxes off those ramps are the kind of tractor we collect from Plantation driveways and yards, so photograph the cab, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate and send them along with the registration.

The Federal Railroad Administration and BTS, through the North American Rail Network, place the Fort Lauderdale rail yard 8 miles east. Port Everglades Northport, a roll-on/roll-off terminal 8.8 miles out by BTS figures, handles vehicles moving by ship, which matters if your car hauler worked that dock: note the trailer setup and deck count when you describe the rig.

Movers, produce haulers and car carriers

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 517 active motor carriers based in Plantation, with 304 hauling general freight, 53 fresh produce, 50 household goods and 50 motor vehicles. A moving van, reefer box truck or car carrier from one of those outfits is welcome; tell us the body type up front so the right questions come first.

Of those operators, 377 run intrastate and 139 cross state lines, while 127 are private fleets, again according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your unit ran interstate, have its cab card ready alongside the Florida title.

New registrations held steady in the FMCSA census: 45 carriers started in 2024 and 46 in 2025, and the census lists the biggest local fleet at 69 power units and 60 drivers. Whether you run one tractor or a few dozen, we can collect each unit from where it sits.

Long runs from a Broward base

Among 65 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck logged 40,000 miles a year. The same FMCSA census counts 528 drivers working within 100 miles and 907 who go farther, so a Plantation truck may well be parked out of state when you decide to sell; tell us its current location, not your home address.

FMCSA roadside inspection records between August 2024 and August 2026 cover 195 trucks tied to Plantation carriers, with a median model year of 2016 and 46.67% of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, bring the service log and the last annual inspection report with the title.

Bridges and getting a truck out

According to the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, Plantation has 45 bridges, of which 6 carry posted load limits and none sit under 14 feet. A tall tractor can clear every local span, but a loaded unit may need a route around a posted one, so mention what is on the truck when you book collection.

With those 6 posted spans in the National Bridge Inventory in mind, send a clear map pin for the parking spot and name any property manager who must approve access, so the route and the gate are settled before anyone arrives.

Construction, wholesale and nursery work

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts list 51,966 jobs in Plantation for 2023, including 1,564 in wholesale trade, 1,357 in manufacturing, 1,312 in construction and 1,039 in transportation and warehousing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies from that construction share are trucks we buy; have the registration and any DOT number handy.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 315 construction establishments and 3 warehousing ones. Across Broward County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 658 farms, led by potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine operations, so nursery box trucks and horse haulers turn up here too.

The questions we get asked in Plantation

  • My tank truck sits in the lot by the Transflo CSXT terminal east of town; can it be collected there rather than brought back to Plantation?It can stay at the terminal: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts Transflo CSXT 5.8 miles east of Plantation, and we collect from that lot once you give us the gate contact.
  • My car hauler ran vehicles off the Northport ro-ro docks, so would you buy that rig?We would: Port Everglades Northport is a roll-on/roll-off terminal 8.8 miles east by BTS figures, and FMCSA’s census lists 50 Plantation carriers hauling motor vehicles, so tell us the trailer and deck setup.
  • I keep horses in Broward County; will you buy the pickup or tractor that pulled the horse trailer?Horse haulers qualify, since equine operations rank among the top farm categories across Broward County’s 658 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we take the truck that pulled the trailer.
