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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Port Tampa Bay’s Hooker’s Point Berths 201-203 as a roll-on/roll-off terminal 3.6 miles south-east of downtown, with the Hooker’s Point Container Terminal intermodal ramp at 4.5 miles. If your tractor has pulled chassis off that ramp, send the VIN, the registration and a photo of the door sticker, and say whether it sits inside the port gate or on a yard outside it.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 863 Tampa carriers hauling motor vehicles. Car haulers that load at the ro-ro berths are trucks we purchase along with their trailers; list the trailer’s own VIN and title separately so both titles can be signed over at collection.

Two petroleum product terminals, TAMPA PT YBOR FL ASPHALT and TAMPA NORTH, sit 2.6 miles east of the city on Energy Information Administration listings. Nearer the water, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the CITGO Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal 3.1 miles south-east and Transflo CSXT 3.4 miles east. For a tank truck or a tractor that served these sites, have the tank’s inspection certificates and any hazmat registration papers in one folder before we arrive.

If the truck is parked behind a terminal fence, give us the name of whoever can open the gate and the hours the yard is staffed. We arrange collection around that contact, so you do not need to be there yourself.

On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the PORT TAMPA rail yard lies 2.2 miles south-east of town. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Tampa Cement Grinding Plant at 3 miles in the same direction. Mixers, bulk pneumatic tankers and dump trucks that run between them are all on our list; photograph the drum or the body as well as the cab.

Hillsborough County had 918 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. For a truck that sits on a job site rather than at your home, tell us the site address and whether a lowboy or a tow can reach it on firm ground.

Of 352 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in Tampa, 13 carry posted load limits and 6 clear under 14 feet. The National Bridge Inventory’s lowest, structure 109909, carries RED DEPART INBOUND over RED ARRIVING INBOUND at 8ft 10in. Tell us the street the truck is parked on, and we route the collection with those clearances in mind.

A tall box truck or a tractor with a stacked load stays parked where it is; we come to it. Keep the keys, the title and the registration together in the cab or with the gate contact so nothing has to be fetched on the day.

Tampa has 6,627 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census: 5,342 run intrastate, 1,259 interstate and 1,537 are private fleets. If a private-fleet truck is titled to a business, the person who signs should be listed as an officer or authorised agent of that business.

Registrations kept coming, with FMCSA’s census showing 503 new Tampa carriers in 2024 and 645 in 2025. Among 1,253 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median was 30,000 miles a truck. The census lists the three largest fleets at 2,801, 2,452 and 1,234 power units; we buy one truck or a whole line of them.

Across 4,337 trucks stopped in FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026, the median model year was 2020 and 18.6% were ten or more years old. Whatever its model year, bring the title and the last annual inspection report.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 416,847 jobs in Tampa in 2023, of which 14,624 were in construction, 12,028 in wholesale trade, 11,762 in transportation and warehousing and 10,282 in manufacturing. Flatbeds hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls run under 529 carriers, and 493 carry machinery and large objects, by FMCSA’s census; for a flatbed, photograph the deck, the chains and the binders.

In USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, Hillsborough County had 1,992 farms, and its top lines were aquatic plants, cattle and transplants. A livestock trailer or a nursery box truck kept on a farm out of town can be collected from the property; share the gate code or a phone number for whoever is there.

• My tractor is parked near the Hooker’s Point container ramp. Do I bring it somewhere?You leave it beside the ramp. That ramp sits 4.5 miles south-east of the city on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we collect the tractor there. Tell us who controls the lot so the gate is open when we arrive.
• Will you take cement mixers from the plant by Port Tampa?We do, mixers included. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Tampa Cement Grinding Plant 3 miles south-east, and mixers and bulk tankers that work it are trucks we purchase. Have the title and registration in hand.
• Can a low Tampa bridge block collecting my high-roof box truck?It will not, because the National Bridge Inventory lists 6 Tampa bridges under 14 feet, the lowest at 8ft 10in, and we plan the route to the truck around them. Give us the exact street address.
