Tankers bound for the Port Tampa terminals

The Energy Information Administration places the Port Tampa Blending Terminal 13.5 miles south-east of Safety Harbor and Tampa Terminal half a mile beyond it, at 14 miles. A tractor that pulled tankers out of either gate can be sold from wherever it is now parked, so give us that street address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

On the east side of the bay, 16.3 miles out, sits the CITGO Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists among the region’s bulk facilities. If your truck loaded there, mention it when you first get in touch, and have the title and current Florida registration within reach so the paperwork matches the VIN on the door jamb.

Yards and the grinding plant across the water

Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network near town: St Petersburg, 15.2 miles south, and Port Tampa, 15.7 miles east. Drayage tractors and flatbeds that shuttle freight to those yards are trucks we buy. Send a few clear photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires with your first message.

Tampa Cement Grinding Plant, a facility the Mine Safety and Health Administration tracks, lies 16.3 miles east of Safety Harbor. Bulk pneumatic tractors and dump trucks that served the plant fit what we collect; keep any site entry or inspection paperwork in the cab so it travels with the sale.

Freight, moving vans, tow rigs and refuse bodies

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 32 active motor carriers based in Safety Harbor, with 16 of them hauling general freight, 6 moving household goods, 3 in driveaway and towaway work and 3 carrying garbage and refuse. Box trucks, moving vans, rollbacks and roll-off or rear-load refuse units all come out of that mix, and every one of those body styles is something a seller here can bring to us.

That federal census splits the town’s carriers into 27 working only inside Florida and 5 crossing state lines, and 17 of the 32 are private fleets moving their own goods. For an intrastate truck that never left Florida, the state title and registration are usually all we need; an interstate unit should also have its cab card and any IRP plate records on hand.

Nine trucks at the top

Operators running six to nine power units

Going by FMCSA’s carrier census, the biggest local operator runs 9 power units with 9 drivers, and the next two run 6 units each, with 6 and 5 drivers. An owner of a fleet that size selling two or three trucks at once can list each VIN in one message, and we will schedule the collections together.

Driver records filed with FMCSA put 49 local drivers on routes within 100 miles and 34 beyond that radius, while the 6 carriers reporting mileage log a median of 7,667 miles per truck. Those are neutral figures; what helps us most is the odometer reading, the engine make and the VIN, sent along with your photos.

Construction and manufacturing in town

Safety Harbor held 8,895 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, including 778 in manufacturing, 528 in construction and 216 in wholesale trade. Straight trucks, stake beds and flatbeds that deliver materials or finished goods for those employers are units we take, whether they sit at a shop yard or in a driveway.

Safety Harbor’s 56 construction establishments, are tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor retiring a dump truck or a crane-equipped flatbed should gather the title, the registration and any annual inspection sheets, then tell us where on the job site or yard the truck stands so the pickup crew can reach it.

Clearances and nearby bases

Open bridges, air bases and Pinellas farms

All 8 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records for Safety Harbor carry no load posting, and none has clearance under 14 feet. A tall box truck or a loaded tractor parked inside town can be collected without planning a detour around a low or posted span.

Pinellas Park AFRC lies 10.6 miles south and MacDill Air Force Base 16.5 miles south-east, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. In the wider county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 115 farms in Pinellas County, led by potted flowering plants, honey and cattle; nursery delivery trucks and livestock haulers kept near those operations are welcome too.

The questions we get asked in Safety Harbor

  • My tanker sits by the Port Tampa blending terminal; must it be driven back to Safety Harbor first?The Energy Information Administration places the Port Tampa Blending Terminal 13.5 miles south-east of town, and we collect from there as readily as from Safety Harbor itself. Pass along the terminal lot’s address and the person holding gate access there.
  • Would you take a roll-off from a Safety Harbor garbage route?Three of the 32 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census for Safety Harbor carry garbage and refuse, and roll-off and rear-load units from that work are ones we purchase. Have the title, registration and body make ready.
  • Which documents go with a moving van that only ever hauled within Florida?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 27 of Safety Harbor’s 32 carriers as intrastate, and for a Florida-only van the state title and registration in the seller’s name are the core documents. Add photos of the box, cab and VIN plate.
  • Can a high-roof box truck be picked up from a street in town?None of the 8 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists for Safety Harbor is under 14 feet or load-posted, so a tall truck can be reached in town. Give us the street address and any gate or parking details.
