Nine miles inland to a Pinellas freight siding
Eastward from the beach town, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the ST PETERSBURG rail yard 9.3 miles away. A box truck or flatbed that shuttles freight between that siding and the beach is something we collect from wherever it is parked, whether that is a driveway in town or a lot near the tracks.
Pinellas Park AFRC, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 8.9 miles east, lies just short of that yard. If your truck has hauled to that reserve centre, keep any gate passes or delivery logs with the title; they show what the truck did, and we ask for them alongside the VIN and a set of clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.
Tank work at Port Tampa and the Tampa Terminal
Across the bay, the Energy Information Administration lists PORT TAMPA BLENDING TERMINAL 16.4 miles out and TAMPA TERMINAL at 17.2 miles, both petroleum product terminals reached by heading east from Redington Beach. Tractors that pull fuel tankers off those racks are on our list, sleeper or day cab alike.
A little further along the same direction, CITGO Petroleum Corporation’s liquid bulk terminal appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records at 24 miles. When you contact us about a tractor that has worked these sites, name the terminals it loaded at and send its registration, and tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind.
Starkey Road, Largo
Duplicate paperwork from a tax collector desk six miles off the beach
A Redington Beach seller with no title in hand deals with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, whose counter work runs through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents. For Redington Beach owners, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles location list names the Pinellas County motor vehicle service center - Largo, at 13025 Starkey Road, Largo, 33773, about 6.2 miles from town.
If the paper title is missing, that Largo service center is where a duplicate is requested before the sale. Bring your identification and the VIN, and if a lender is still shown on the record, bring its lien release too, so the title we receive carries your name alone.
Port, base and pit
Port Manatee, MacDill and the Caloosa Materials pit
South-east of the beaches, the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics rail network shows PORT MANATEE, a rail yard 20.7 miles away. Container chassis tractors and flatbeds that run cargo to that port can be picked up at the yard or at your home in Redington Beach, wherever you keep the keys.
MacDill Air Force Base sits 19.2 miles east according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Caloosa Materials, an industrial-mineral mine, 23.9 miles out. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from mine haul work belong on our list; note the body type, axle count and the VIN when you reach out.
Small farm trucks around Redington Beach
Around Redington Beach, Pinellas County held 115 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with potted flowering plants, honey and cattle at the top of its listed products. Stake-bed trucks, reefer box trucks and livestock haulers that served those growers are trucks we purchase.
Nursery and apiary owners often register a truck under the farm’s name. If yours is titled to a business, have the person authorised to sign for that business available, along with the registration and any service receipts you have kept.
