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

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal called Orlando just 0.5 miles south-west of Taft. If your tractor has been hauling fuel loads in and out of that gate, tell us which trailer it pulled and whether the tank stays with the sale or goes back to its owner.

With the terminal practically inside town, a fuel tractor parked between runs may well sit only a few blocks from its owner’s home. Give us the yard or street address where it is kept, and we arrange collection at that spot rather than asking you to move it anywhere.

Two rail yards bracket the north edge of Taft, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: one named West, a mile to the north-east, and one named Taft, 1.3 miles due north. Drayage tractors and flatbeds that shuttle freight off those sidings are exactly the kind of equipment we purchase from local owners.

If your rig spent its days running between those yards and nearby warehouses, send a photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb and a shot of the odometer. With those two images we can identify the tractor and start the conversation about collecting it near the yard gate.

Heniff, a liquid bulk terminal listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, operates 8.6 miles north of Taft. Tankers that load there, and the tractors that pull them, can be sold to us whether they belong to a one-truck owner-operator or a small family outfit.

When you contact us about a tanker tractor from that corridor, mention the trailer type and any wash or inspection certificates you still hold. Those sheets help us understand the unit’s working history before anyone comes out to look at it.

Two sand and gravel pits lie due west of Taft on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, Four Corners Sand Mine roughly 19.5 miles out and Center Sand Company just past it at 20.1. Dump trucks and end-dump trailers carrying aggregate out of those pits often finish their day back around Taft.

If your dump truck is parked at a pit rather than at home, let us know which of the two sites it sits at and who can open the gate. We can then schedule collection at the mine itself, so the truck never has to make another trip into Orlando traffic.

Builders hold 209 of Taft’s 1,218 local jobs, a 17.2 percent slice, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. That share points to the dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that contractors in town put on the road every morning.

Transportation and warehousing supplied 135 local jobs that year, an 11.1 percent share, with wholesale trade adding another 85 at 7 percent, per the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Sleepers, day cabs and straight trucks from these fleets are all welcome; have the registration and the most recent service records together when you reach out.

Around Taft, growers in Orange County run 600 farms, with foliage plants, propagative material and potted flowering plants leading the list, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Refrigerated box trucks and reefer tractors that move nursery stock between greenhouses fit squarely into what we collect.

For a reefer unit, include the hours on the refrigeration unit along with your photos of the cab and box. A grower selling a straight truck straight off the nursery lot can have it collected right there among the benches.

Florida titles are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and its county tax collector service centers and license plate agents handle the counter work. For Taft owners, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists the closest one as the Orange County motor vehicle service center - Orlando, at 730 Sand Lake Road, Suite #106B, Orlando, 32809, about 2 miles from town.

If the title has gone missing or still shows a lienholder, a visit to that Sand Lake Road office is the place to sort out a duplicate or a lien release. Bring your ID and the truck’s VIN, and once the clean title is in hand we can finish the sale.

• Will you collect a truck that is parked near the Taft rail yards?The Taft yard sits 1.3 miles north of town and West yard a mile north-east, both on the North American Rail Network; we collect from either area, as long as you give us an address and someone to meet the driver.

• Do you buy dump trucks that haul from the sand mines west of town?Four Corners Sand Mine and Center Sand Company, roughly 20 miles west per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, keep plenty of dump trucks busy, and we purchase those trucks from their owners.
• Can I sell a fuel tractor that runs out of the Orlando terminal?That petroleum product terminal, half a mile south-west of Taft on Energy Information Administration listings, is close enough that we can usually pick up the tractor at its regular parking spot.
