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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 1,219 active carriers based in the city, and 738 of them list general freight as cargo. If your tractor or box truck spent its years on general freight runs around Pinellas County, send the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the cab, frame and tires, so the first call covers the basics.

Car haulers are a real share of the local roster: 140 carriers here on the FMCSA census list motor vehicles as cargo. A wedge or stinger rig with a hauler body is something we collect, so include photos of the ramps and deck alongside the tractor, and tell us whether the trailer goes with it.

Moving vans and heavy-haul rigs show up too, with 132 local carriers registered for household goods and 118 for machinery and large objects, according to the same FMCSA records. Whether yours is a straight-truck mover or a lowboy setup, list the body type and any attached equipment when you contact us.

Of the operators counted in FMCSA’s census here, 858 run intrastate only, 359 cross state lines and 341 operate as private fleets carrying their own goods. A truck that never left Florida usually still has its Florida registration current, so have that card ready along with the title when we arrange pickup.

Driver radius tells a similar local story: the FMCSA carrier census records 3,245 drivers working within 100 miles and 2,892 working beyond it. If your truck is parked at a jobsite or a yard elsewhere in the Tampa Bay area rather than at your house, give us that address and the name of whoever can let us onto the lot.

Among the 160 carriers in this city that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 32,445 miles per truck each year. Write down the odometer reading off the dash before you call; it is one of the first two things we will ask for, with the VIN.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 323 trucks from carriers based here, with a median model year of 2019. Whatever the year on your title, give us the exact model year and engine when you get in touch so the paperwork lines up from the start.

In those same roadside inspection records, 32.2% of the inspected trucks were ten or more model years old. Older or newer, we collect both, so hand over any service records you kept along with the keys.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the city’s own rail yard 2.1 miles north-west of the city centre. A tractor that shuttled freight to and from that yard can be collected right where it is parked in town.

Across the water, the Energy Information Administration lists the Port Tampa Blending Terminal 8.9 miles north-east and the Tampa Terminal 9.5 miles north-east. If your truck pulled a tank trailer out of those fuel terminals, tell us whether the trailer is included and where each unit sits now.

Two military installations appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings nearby: Pinellas Park AFRC 6.5 miles north and MacDill Air Force Base 10.4 miles north-east. A truck kept near either one stays where it is; just confirm whether we need a pass or an escort to reach it.

To the south-east, Port Manatee’s rail yard sits 10.8 miles away on the North American Rail Network, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Hooker’s Point Container Terminal ramp 16.7 miles north-east. Day cabs that drayed containers off that ramp are trucks we buy; send the VIN and photos of the fifth wheel.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 140,509 jobs in the city in 2023, with 4,322 in construction and 7,022 in manufacturing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies that worked those sites are welcome; send photos of the body as well as the cab.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau record 546 construction establishments in the area. If your truck belongs to a small contractor rather than a carrier, the title in the business name is what we need, along with someone authorised to sign for the company.

Wholesale trade accounts for 2,987 local jobs and transportation and warehousing for 1,954, per the LEHD figures. Straight trucks and reefers that ran deliveries for those businesses fit what we collect, so note the box length and any liftgate when you reach out.

Inland toward the east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Caloosa Materials, an industrial-mineral mine 13.2 miles from the city. A dump or aggregate truck parked out at a mine site can be collected there once you arrange gate access.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 190 bridges within the city, 5 of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Let us know where the truck is parked and which road reaches it, and we will plan the route to the pickup.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 115 farms in Pinellas County, with potted flowering plants, honey and cattle as leading products. A nursery box truck or a stock hauler from one of those operations is something we take; have the title and registration together before we schedule.

• Does a tractor kept by MacDill Air Force Base have to be moved before pickup?Leave the tractor where it is, since the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places MacDill 10.4 miles north-east of the city, and we collect from wherever the truck is; tell us if base access needs a pass or an escort.
• I run a car hauler out of this city. Can you take the trailer too?We can take both units. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 140 local carriers hauling motor vehicles; tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and send photos of both units.
• Will you drive down to a yard by Port Manatee for my truck?We will make that trip. Port Manatee’s rail yard is 10.8 miles south-east on the North American Rail Network, and we come to the truck there; give us the yard address and a contact for the gate.
