Sell your semi truck for cash in Sunrise the easy and convenient way

The Energy Information Administration lists the Port Everglades East Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, 8.4 miles south-east of Sunrise, and a second terminal under the name PT Everglades at 9.6 miles. If your tractor has pulled fuel tankers into either gate, keep its terminal access paperwork and any inspection reports together with the title; those sheets show us where the truck has worked.

Two roll-on/roll-off terminals, Northport at 10 miles and Midport at 10.6 miles, appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings for Port Everglades. Of the Sunrise carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 74 list motor vehicles as cargo, so a car hauler that loads at those docks is a truck we want to hear about. Photograph the headrack, the decks and the cab from both sides, and send the VIN with the pictures.

A truck that is parked inside a port lot can be sold where it stands. Give us the terminal name, the gate it sits behind and a person who can let a driver in, and the collection is arranged with them rather than with you on site.

A liquid bulk terminal sits 7.1 miles south-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, with a second liquid bulk site 9.6 miles out in the same direction. Tank trucks that shuttle product between those transload sites and local customers often never leave the county, so tell us whether yours has stayed in Broward or crossed state lines, and have the registration that matches that answer ready.

Rail adds a second layer close by: the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Fort Lauderdale rail yard 9.5 miles from Sunrise. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists the Fort Lauderdale intermodal ramp at 9.6 miles, where day cabs collect containers off the train. If your day cab has worked that ramp, send the odometer reading and the VIN first, then the service records you keep.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 552 active carriers based in Sunrise, of which 404 run intrastate and 145 interstate, with 131 operating as private fleets. A truck that has only worked inside Florida will carry Florida registration alone, which keeps the paperwork for the sale short: the title, the current registration and a photo ID from the person named on the title.

General freight is the cargo listed by 335 of those carriers in FMCSA’s census, with 62 listing household goods and 54 refrigerated food. Box trucks and reefer units from these lines of work are as welcome as tractors, so photograph the body and the reefer unit along with the cab and include the reefer’s hours if you have them.

Newly registered outfits keep arriving, with FMCSA recording 42 new Sunrise carriers in 2025 and 34 in 2024. If you started a small operation in one of those years and are selling the truck you started with, have the bill of sale from your own purchase on hand along with the title.

Driver records in FMCSA’s census show 713 drivers from Sunrise carriers operating within 100 miles of base and 486 beyond it. For a seller, that split usually means the truck is parked locally between shifts, so give us the street address of the yard or driveway where it sits and say whether a tow truck can get in and out.

Across 76 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 39,492 miles per truck a year. Write down the current odometer reading before you contact us; it is one of the first things we ask for, together with the VIN plate photo.

The three biggest fleets in FMCSA’s census for Sunrise run 59, 55 and 55 power units, with 74, 55 and 40 drivers. A fleet manager clearing several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses, and each truck is handled on that single list.

Roadside inspections recorded by FMCSA between September 2024 and August 2026 covered 126 trucks from Sunrise carriers, with a median model year of 2019. That same set of inspection records puts 29.4 percent of those trucks at ten or more years old.

Whatever the model year, have the title and any inspection reports from that period together; a roadside report is a dated record of the truck that we can read alongside your photos. If a title has been lost, request a duplicate from Florida’s title agency before the truck is collected, and tell us when you have applied.

LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 84,897 jobs in Sunrise in 2023, including 3,324 in wholesale trade, 2,757 in construction, 2,343 in manufacturing and 869 in transportation and warehousing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau list 210 construction establishments and 4 warehousing establishments in town. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies from that construction work are trucks we collect, so tell us the body type and send a photo of it raised or loaded open.

Broward County had 658 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine leading the list. Nursery box trucks and horse haulers from those farms are part of what we take, and the farm’s address is a fine place for us to pick one up.

Getting a truck out of Sunrise is plain on the bridges: the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 36 bridges in town, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the nearest road the truck can reach, and we plan the route from there.

• Can a tanker parked by the Port Everglades East Terminal be collected right at that lot instead of in Sunrise?We pick that tanker up at the terminal lot itself. The Energy Information Administration lists that petroleum product terminal 8.4 miles south-east of Sunrise, and we collect from the lot where the truck is parked. Give us the lot owner’s contact so the gate can be opened.
• Which photos and numbers help most for a car hauler that loaded at the Midport roll-on/roll-off terminal?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Midport 10.6 miles from Sunrise. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of the decks and headrack, plus the title and registration.
• My reefer truck ran only inside Florida. Is a Florida registration enough?For a Florida-only reefer, the title plus that registration covers it. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 404 intrastate carriers in Sunrise, and a truck that stayed in the state needs its title and current Florida registration for the sale.
