Quarry trucks from Rock Solid Rock and S & L Materials
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Rock Solid Rock, LLC, a crushed-stone quarry, just 0.9 miles south-west of Port St. John. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked that pit is often parked a few streets from where its owner lives, so give us the yard or driveway address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
A second crushed-stone operation, S & L Materials Inc, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 12.9 miles west of town. If your truck shuttled between both quarries, tell us which one it was based at, and send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab so we can see the whole rig before we talk details.
Port Canaveral, the VTTI tanks and the Cape Canaveral fuel terminal
Canaveral Port District sits 6.2 miles north-east of Port St. John according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also places the VTTI liquid bulk terminal 12.7 miles east. Tractors that pull containers or tankers out of those docks can stay where they are parked on the Cape; we arrange collection at the terminal lot if the gate staff know we are coming.
East of town, at 12.2 miles, the Energy Information Administration records the CAPE CANAVERAL petroleum product terminal. Fuel haulers serving that rack should keep their registration and any tank inspection certificates together and send copies with the photos of the tractor.
Drayage around FRONTENAC and the Cocoa ramp
Only 3.4 miles north-east, FRONTENAC shows up as a rail yard in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that dray between that yard and local customers rarely leave Brevard County, so the truck is usually close by when we come for it.
Ten miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Cocoa rail intermodal ramp, with the COCOA-ROCKLEDGE rail yard at 10.1 miles in the same direction per the North American Rail Network. If your tractor has moved boxes off that ramp, send the VIN and a clear photo of the odometer first, then the title.
In-state carriers, private fleets and lumber haulers
Among carriers based in Port St. John, FMCSA’s carrier census counts 91 active, with 70 running intrastate, 21 running interstate and 25 private fleets hauling their own goods, all in that same census. A contractor or landscaper with one truck on the books sells to us the same way a for-hire outfit does: title in hand, registration current, and photos from all four sides.
General freight is the leading cargo here, carried by 38 carriers in FMCSA’s census, followed by logs, poles, beams and lumber at 14, and both metal sheets, coils and rolls and motor vehicles at 9 each. Flatbeds, car haulers and lumber rigs all fit what we buy, along with the tractors that pull them.
Per FMCSA’s census, the three top fleet sizes registered here are 13, 11 and 6 power units, and 15 carriers reporting mileage logged a median of 48,412 miles per truck. A small fleet selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and we will work through it with one contact.
Building trades, cattle and honey in Brevard
Construction accounted for 113 of the 1,517 jobs located in Port St. John in 2023, a 7.4 percent share, while transportation and warehousing held 65 jobs, or 4.3 percent, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies tied to building work are welcome, and a builder’s truck parked at a job site can be collected there with the site manager’s okay.
Builders are well represented too: 64 construction establishments operate locally in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and their dump and stake-bed trucks are often parked at the contractor’s own yard. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 584 farms across Brevard County, with cattle, honey and potted flowering plants leading; a livestock hauler or nursery box truck from one of those operations can be listed with us by sending the title and a few photos.
Drivers and newcomers
Short-haul routes and new operating authorities
Local carriers report 147 drivers working within 100 miles and 92 going beyond that radius, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your driver is out on a longer route, tell us where the truck will be parked between trips and we will plan the pickup around that address.
New operating authorities keep appearing in FMCSA’s records here: 9 carriers registered in 2024 and 6 more in 2025. An owner-operator who started recently and is now stepping back should have the title, or the lender’s payoff contact if the truck is financed, ready when they reach us.
