In-state haulers and private fleets on the Gulf coast
Of those 276 Port Richey carriers, FMCSA’s carrier census marks 221 as intrastate and 55 as authorised to cross state lines. For a seller, that usually means the tractor or box truck is registered in Florida and parked somewhere in Pasco County, so have the Florida title and current registration in hand before you call.
A further 79 of the local operations are private fleets on the same federal census, firms that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belongs to a business like that, have the person who signs for the company ready to sign the title, and keep the company name on the paperwork exactly as it reads on the registration.
Car haulers, tow rigs and lumber loads
On FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is declared by 141 of the local carriers and motor vehicles by 47. Car carriers and the tractors that pull them are trucks we collect; send a photo of the deck or ramps along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Driveaway and towaway work is declared by 31 local carriers, and logs, poles, beams and lumber by 27, according to FMCSA’s census. A rollback, a tow truck or a log trailer rig can be sold with or without its equipment; just tell us which pieces go with the truck so the bill of sale lists them.
Inside the 100-mile circle around Port Richey
Drivers registered here split 467 inside a 100-mile radius and 226 beyond it, as FMCSA’s carrier census records them. A truck that stays inside that local circle tends to be parked at a home lot or a job yard, so give us the street address and say who holds the keys.
FMCSA’s carrier census puts the typical Port Richey truck at 45,761 miles a year, a median drawn from the 50 local carriers that filed a mileage figure. Read the odometer before you get in touch and put that figure next to the VIN in your first message; it is one of the first two things we ask for.
Port Richey’s compact fleets and new authorities
The three biggest operations on the federal carrier census for Port Richey run 16, 13 and 12 power units, with 10, 2 and 12 drivers. A fleet that size selling one unit or several can list them all in one request, each with its VIN, and we handle them together.
New authorities keep appearing, too: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 31 carriers registered here in 2025 and 20 in 2024. If you started a company recently and are now selling its truck, the title may still carry a lender; ask that lender for a lien release and keep it with the title.
Pasco job sites and the Spring Hill quarry road
Construction accounts for 406 of the 2,264 jobs in Port Richey, or 17.9 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, beside 63 in wholesale trade and 52 in manufacturing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those job sites are welcome; photograph the body and any lift or hoist along with the chassis.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists County Line Mine, an industrial-mineral mine about 14.5 miles north-east of town, and the Georgia Stone Spring Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry 16.3 miles out in the same direction. If your truck is still parked at a quarry gate, tell us the site name and a contact who can let us in, and we collect it there.
Cattle, horse and potted-plant farms around Port Richey
Pasco County holds 1,190 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, equine and potted flowering plants head that county’s commodity list. Livestock haulers, horse-farm pickups and nursery box trucks all fit what we buy, and they can be collected from the farm itself.
Farm trucks are often titled to a person rather than a business, so check whose name is on the Florida title before you start. If that title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and that copy should be in your hands before the pickup is booked.
