Sell your semi truck for cash in St. Augustine Shores the easy and convenient way

Thirty active carriers are registered in this community, and FMCSA’s carrier census splits them into 13 with interstate authority and 17 that stay inside Florida. If your truck carries an intrastate registration only, have that Florida registration card with the title when you call, so the paperwork we ask about matches the operation you ran.

Of those 30 outfits, 12 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. A private-fleet truck often sits at a business yard rather than a home driveway; tell us the yard address and who holds the gate key, and we arrange the collection with them.

New registrations have held steady: five carriers were added in 2024 and another five in 2025, the FMCSA census records. If you started hauling in one of those two years and are now stepping away, a recent title in your own name keeps the handover short on paperwork.

General freight is the most common cargo listed, with 17 local carriers declaring it in FMCSA’s census, while 9 haul motor vehicles. Car-hauler owners should photograph the ramps, deck and headache rack along with the cab, and note whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.

Six St. Augustine Shores carriers list machinery and large objects, and five list household goods, per the FMCSA carrier census. For a moving van, send pictures of the box interior and the liftgate; for a heavy-haul tractor, include the fifth wheel and any lowboy that goes with it.

The biggest local fleet in the FMCSA census runs 12 power units with 8 drivers, the next 9 units with 9 drivers, and a third 5 units with 5 drivers. Selling several units from one of these operations works best with a single list of VINs and the lot where each truck is parked.

Drivers here mostly stay close to home: FMCSA’s census counts 121 working within 100 miles and 43 going farther. A local-route truck is usually parked in or near town, so we collect it from where it already sits.

Across the 8 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 55,553 miles per truck in a year. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN ready at the start of the conversation; most of what we ask next follows from those two numbers.

Roadside inspection records kept by FMCSA cover 68 trucks from St. Augustine Shores checked between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2019. If your truck was one of them, the inspection report is a useful record to keep with the title.

Just under a quarter, 23.5 percent, had a model year a decade or more back, again per FMCSA’s roadside inspection records for this community. Whatever the model year on your registration, send us that year along with the make so we can identify the truck correctly.

Heading 15.3 miles south-west brings you to SRM Materials East Palatka, an industrial-mineral mine the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists. Dump trucks and tractors that run to the mine can be collected from a contractor’s yard nearby; give us the location and a contact on site.

Out west, 22.5 miles from the community, sits the PECAN rail yard on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If a drayage truck you own is parked out near that yard, it can stay there while you deal with us by phone from St. Augustine Shores.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 1,282 jobs in this community, 446 of them, or 34.8 percent, in manufacturing and 60 in construction. A straight truck or tractor that served a plant here may carry service records from that employer’s shop; gather them before pickup.

Across the county, 150 construction establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck or flatbed that worked those job sites should come with its title, current registration and any shop invoices you still hold.

Honey, equine and cattle lead the 223 county farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A stock trailer rig or a farm-plated truck from one of those operations needs the title in the farm’s or owner’s name, matching whoever signs it over.

• Can you pick up a dump truck left by the East Palatka mine instead of in town?That mine sits 15.3 miles south-west of town by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s location, and we collect from there. Name the landowner or contractor whose ground it sits on, and we set the collection up through them.
• Do you take car haulers from this part of the county?Nine local carriers list motor vehicles as cargo in FMCSA’s carrier census, so car haulers are a familiar sight here and we buy them. Send photos of the deck and ramps with the cab, and say whether the trailer goes too.
• What paperwork does a farm truck from around here need?St. Johns County has 223 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and for a truck from one of them the title must be in the name of the person or farm signing. Have the registration and the keys with it, plus any service invoices.
• Where does a replacement title come from if mine has gone missing?A Florida-registered truck’s title is reissued by the state’s title agency, which issues duplicates to the owner on record. Start that request before we schedule pickup and tell us it is underway.
