Frontenac, Canaveral and the port district
Two rail yards bracket Titusville on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Frontenac, 4.1 miles to the south-east, and Canaveral, 5.4 miles up to the north. A tractor that shuttles between those two yards is rarely far from town when we collect it, so give us the yard or lot where it sits and a name to call at the gate.
Canaveral Port District lies 6.4 miles south-east of the city on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ port list. If your day cab spends its shifts at the docks there, send a photo of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, plus the VIN plate, and say whether we can reach it inside the port fence or need to meet it outside.
South toward Cocoa, a rail intermodal ramp appears 16.4 miles away in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. Container chassis work off that ramp leaves a truck with a trail of paperwork; keep the registration and any service records with the title so all of it changes hands together.
Quarry loads south of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists one crushed-stone quarry 7.3 miles south of Titusville and a second 14.4 miles south-west. Dump trucks and tractors pulling aggregate trailers out of those pits are the kind we buy; tell us which site the truck loads at and whether it is parked there or at home.
Sixteen miles south-east, the Energy Information Administration lists the Cape Canaveral petroleum product terminal, at 16.2 miles. A tanker tractor that loads there can be collected wherever you keep it between runs; have the title in your name and the current registration ready before we arrange pickup.
Car haulers, lowboys and log trucks in Titusville
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 184 active motor carriers based in Titusville, of which 84 haul general freight, 32 carry motor vehicles, 24 move machinery and large objects and 22 carry logs, poles, beams and lumber. A car hauler, a lowboy tractor or a log truck all fit what we purchase, so name the body or trailer setup when you first write to us.
Of those carriers, 147 work intrastate, 36 cross state lines and 68 run private fleets, per the same FMCSA census. Owners whose trucks stay inside Florida will usually have only state registration to hand over, which keeps the paperwork for a sale short.
New authority keeps arriving: FMCSA records 9 carriers registering here in 2025 and 7 in 2024. If you started a small outfit in either year and are now selling a truck, send the bill of sale from when you bought it along with the title.
What roadside stops near the Indian River show
Across 203 trucks stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 32 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, send the VIN first; the model year, engine and spec all follow from it.
Thirty-four Titusville carriers file annual mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck logs 15,000 miles a year. Write the current odometer reading in your first message, beside the VIN, and add photos of the dash showing it.
Drivers working within 100 miles of their base number 746 in FMCSA’s census of Titusville carriers, against 624 who run beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long route, tell us where it will be parked when it returns, and we arrange collection there.
Space Coast payrolls, contractors and clearances
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 put 15,612 jobs in Titusville, including 1,511 in manufacturing, 1,076 in construction, 326 in transportation and warehousing and 177 in wholesale trade. Box trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks serving those employers are all on our list; say which trade yours served.
Builders are plentiful along this stretch of the Indian River, with the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns showing 125 construction establishments in Titusville. A contractor selling a dump truck or a flatbed from a job yard can leave it on site, as long as someone can let us in and the title is on hand.
None of the 17 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists for Titusville is load-posted, and none clears under 14 feet. That means a tall or heavy truck can be reached on local roads, so give us the street address and we plan the route from there.
Cattle, honey and nursery plants
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 584 farms in Brevard County, with cattle, honey and potted flowering plants at the top of the list. A livestock hauler or a straight truck used for nursery deliveries is something we buy; tell us which farm road it sits on.
Farm trucks in the county are often titled to a business rather than a person, so check whose name the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has on the title and have that owner sign when we collect.
