Freight, car haulers and lumber on the Osceola register
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 919 active carriers based in this Osceola County city, and 626 of them declare general freight as cargo. If your tractor or box truck spent its days on general loads around Osceola County, have the title in your name and the current registration in the cab before you call us.
Car hauling shows up strongly in the same federal census: 168 local carriers declare motor vehicles, and 116 list machinery and large objects. A wedge trailer, a stinger rig or a lowboy tractor is something we will collect; send photos of the deck, the ramps and the tractor’s cab so we can see the setup.
Lumber is on the list too, with 85 local carriers declaring logs, poles, beams or lumber according to FMCSA. Log trucks and flatbeds that haul posts or framing stock should come with their trailer paperwork as well as the tractor’s title, since the two are often titled separately.
Intrastate work and short runs
Of the city’s carriers, 695 run intrastate only and 223 cross state lines, per the federal carrier census; another 189 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never left Florida still needs a clear title and a registration that matches the VIN, and that is the first thing we will ask to see.
Driver counts filed with FMCSA put 742 local drivers within a 100-mile radius and 934 beyond it. Wherever your route ended, we pick the truck up where it sits now, whether that is a yard on the edge of town or a driveway off a county road.
Among 183 carriers that reported both mileage and power units to FMCSA, the median truck logged 43,333 miles a year. Write down the odometer reading and the engine hours when you first contact us; with those and the VIN, most of our questions are already answered.
Small fleets and new authorities
The three biggest local fleets on the federal register run 26, 22 and 13 power units, with 24, 19 and 14 drivers, so even the top end here is a small operation by FMCSA’s numbers. If you are an owner-operator selling one tractor, or a fleet owner selling several, the process is the same: one title per unit and photos of each.
New authorities keep arriving, with FMCSA recording 86 new carriers here in 2025 and 64 in 2024. If you started a company recently and are now selling its truck, check that the title shows the business name or your own exactly as the registration does.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 406 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2016 and 47.29 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever year your truck is, tell us the year, make and model up front along with any service records you keep.
Sand and stone
Sand mines west, crushed stone north-east
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Flint Plant sand and gravel operation 18.6 miles west of town and the Davenport Sand Mine 18.9 miles west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have hauled out of pits like these are trucks we buy; photograph the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab.
To the north-east, a crushed-stone quarry sits 22.5 miles out, again per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your aggregate truck is parked at a quarry or a contractor’s yard, give us the address and a contact who can let our driver onto the property.
Construction work sits beside those pits: the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,003 of the city’s 11,987 jobs in construction in 2023, and County Business Patterns counts 352 construction establishments. Mixers, dump trucks and flatbeds from a building contractor are welcome, with the title and registration for each.
Fuel terminals and rail yards
The Energy Information Administration places the Orlando petroleum product terminal 14 miles north-west of town, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Heniff liquid bulk terminal 22.8 miles north. Fuel tankers and tank trailers that have loaded at these terminals are on our list; keep any tank inspection paperwork you have with the title.
On the North American Rail Network, the West rail yard sits 14.9 miles north and the Taft yard 15.4 miles north. Drayage and transload tractors working those yards can be collected from wherever they are parked, so long as you tell us who controls the lot.
The NG Orlando Naval Training Center lies 15 miles north, as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists it. If your truck sits on or near a gated site, sort out access before pickup day and send us the name of whoever will meet our driver.
Cattle and farm trucks in the county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 353 farms in Osceola County, with cattle, honey and goats as the top products. Cattle haulers, stock trailers and farm trucks from these operations are part of what we buy, and a farm-registered truck still needs its title in hand.
Bridges are not a routing issue in town: the National Bridge Inventory records 23 bridges inside the city limits, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. If your truck is out on a ranch, tell us how far it sits from the paved road and whether the ground there is firm enough for a tow truck.
The questions we get asked in St. Cloud
- A dump truck of mine sits at a sand operation out toward Davenport; must it come into town first?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists sand and gravel operations about 19 miles west of the city, and our driver collects from sites like that. Give us the pit’s address and the name of whoever unlocks its gate.
- Will you take a car-hauling tractor and its wedge trailer from an Osceola County operator?We will, and FMCSA’s carrier census shows 168 carriers in this city declaring motor vehicles as cargo. Bring the tractor’s title and the trailer’s title together, since each unit is titled on its own.
- Our cattle hauler is parked on pasture land outside the city; is that a problem for pickup?Pasture pickups are fine, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names cattle as a top product among Osceola County’s 353 farms. Describe the track from the paved road to where the truck stands.
