Freight, movers and steel coil out of Temple Terrace

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 108 active carriers based in Temple Terrace, and 72 of them register general freight as a cargo. If your tractor has been on dry-van or flatbed work around Tampa, send the VIN, the registration and a few clear photos of the cab and the tag, and we can start from there.

Household goods appear on 13 local registrations and motor vehicles on 11, according to the same federal carrier census. Box trucks from moving outfits and car-hauler rigs both fit what we collect, so tell us the body type and the length when you first get in touch.

Nine Temple Terrace carriers list metal sheets, coils and rolls among their cargo in FMCSA’s records. If your flatbed or step-deck has hauled steel coil, mention whether the coil racks, chains and binders stay with the trailer, so the pickup crew knows what to load.

Short runs, state lines and private fleets

FMCSA’s census splits the 108 local registrations into 75 intrastate-only operations and 33 interstate ones, and 25 of them are private carriers moving their own goods. A truck that never left Florida may carry only a state registration, so have that card and the title together before we talk.

Driver records filed with FMCSA put 137 drivers within 100 miles of base and 111 beyond it. If your truck ends its week somewhere out of Hillsborough County, give us that address rather than your home one; we arrange collection where it is parked.

A dozen Temple Terrace operators filed annual mileage with FMCSA, putting the typical truck among them at 41,250 miles a year. Have the current odometer reading ready alongside the VIN, as both go on the paperwork at collection.

What roadside stops show about local tractors

Roadside stops of 172 Temple Terrace-based trucks, logged in FMCSA inspection records from late August 2024 to late August 2026, put the middle model year at 2019. Read the model year off the title or the door-jamb plate and include it with your photos.

FMCSA roadside inspection records also show about 28 percent of those trucks at ten or more model years old. Whatever the year, keep any inspection reports and service logs you hold in the cab folder; they travel with the truck when it changes hands.

New registrations are steady as well: FMCSA’s census shows 16 Temple Terrace carriers starting up in 2025 and 11 in 2024. If you are winding down an operating authority you opened recently, keep the USDOT number handy so the sale paperwork lines up with it.

Rail ramps and terminals within nine miles

The Tampa intermodal ramp sits 5.7 miles south of Temple Terrace on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the North American Rail Network places the UCETA yard at 5.9 miles and the YEOMAN yard at 6.1. If your day cab has been pulling containers off those yards, a photo of the fifth wheel and the tractor’s plate is a useful first send.

Toward the south-west, the Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals, TAMPA PT YBOR FL ASPHALT at 7.3 miles and TAMPA NORTH at 7.4, and the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal is 7 miles out per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tank tractors working those racks are trucks we buy; tell us whether a tanker trailer is part of the sale or stays behind.

Port Tampa Bay’s Hooker’s Point Berths 201-203, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, lie 8.6 miles south-west on BTS records, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant at 8.4 miles. If your truck is parked inside a port or plant gate, name a contact who can let the collection driver in.

Construction, factory and warehouse jobs

Construction accounts for 979 of the 16,579 jobs located in Temple Terrace in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns counts 112 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from site work are all on our list; send a photo of the body as well as the chassis.

That same 2023 LEHD tally shows 799 manufacturing jobs, 306 in transportation and warehousing and 273 in wholesale trade. Straight trucks and tractors from plant and distribution work are ones we collect, so give us the make, model and body style up front.

Bridges and Hillsborough County farm country

The National Bridge Inventory records 36 bridges in Temple Terrace, one carrying a posted load limit and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the street the truck sits on and we route the collection rig with that in mind.

Aquatic plants, cattle and transplants top the list for Hillsborough County’s 1,992 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Cattle haulers, nursery box trucks and farm flatbeds parked out in the county can be collected where they sit; a gate code or a landowner’s phone number saves a wasted trip.

The questions we get asked in Temple Terrace

  • Can my tractor be collected from beside the UCETA or YEOMAN rail yard south of Temple Terrace?The UCETA yard lies 5.9 miles south of town on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from lots like those directly. Give us the yard or lot name and someone who can open the gate.
  • How do I sell a Temple Terrace truck whose Florida title has been misplaced?Florida’s state title agency issues duplicate titles, and the truck’s registration and VIN are what it asks for first. Start that request, then contact us with the VIN so the rest of the sale can be set up in parallel.

  • Can you collect a truck parked inside Port Tampa Bay?Hooker’s Point Berths 201-203 sit 8.6 miles south-west of town on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we collect inside port areas with the right access. Tell us the terminal and a contact who can clear the driver at the gate.
