FMCSA’s carrier census lists 91 active carriers based in Trinity, and 70 of them are cleared for intrastate work against 20 for interstate. A Florida-only operation like most of these keeps its truck close to home, so a driveway or yard in Trinity is usually where we would pick it up. Have the Florida title and current registration together before you call.
If your truck belongs to a contractor, landscaper or supplier rather than a for-hire outfit, say who holds the title, since a business owner may need to sign the transfer.
New registrations stay modest: the FMCSA census shows 5 carriers starting in 2024 and 4 in 2025. If you registered in either of those years, photograph the original bill of sale and any lien release alongside the cab.
General freight, equipment, vehicles and lumber
General freight is the cargo 49 Trinity carriers list with FMCSA, so day cabs, straight trucks and dry vans make up a good share of what is registered here. Send the VIN, an odometer photo and a picture of the trailer or body if it is part of the sale.
Another 14 local carriers tell the federal carrier census they move machinery and large objects, and 13 move motor vehicles. Lowboys, flatbeds and car-carrier rigs from those operations are trucks we buy; list the deck length and any ramps or winches so the description matches the photos.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 11 carrier filings in FMCSA’s records for Trinity. A log truck or lumber flatbed is often parked at a job site rather than at home, so give us the street address and a phone number for whoever can open the gate.
Drivers working for Trinity carriers mostly stay close: the FMCSA census counts 168 who operate within 100 miles and 85 who go beyond that radius. A local-route truck tends to sit at the owner’s place between jobs, which is where we plan to meet it.
Note the exact odometer reading when you photograph the dash; it is one of the first things we ask for.
The three biggest in FMCSA’s carrier census run 5, 4 and 4 power units, with 11, 4 and 3 drivers. If you are selling more than one unit from a fleet that size, send a VIN list and say where each truck is parked.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Georgia Stone’s Spring Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 17.2 miles north-east of Trinity. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul stone from a pit like that are on our list; tell us the body type and the axle count when you write in.
County Line Mine, an industrial-mineral site, is 18.1 miles to the north on MSHA’s register. If your truck is still parked near either site, you do not need to move it into Trinity; give us the location and we arrange collection there.
Fuel, cement and rail to the south-east
About 20 miles south-east, the Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, Tampa North and Tampa Pt Ybor FL Asphalt, both 20.3 miles from Trinity. Tankers and asphalt trucks working those racks are trucks we purchase; keep any tank inspection certificates with the title.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Transflo CSXT at 20.9 miles and the CITGO Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal at 21.2 miles, while the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant sits 21 miles out according to MSHA. A bulk or cement tanker based near those sites can be collected where it stands.
Port Tampa, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 20.1 miles south-east. Drayage tractors that shuttle between the yard and the terminals belong on the same list; send cab, frame and fifth-wheel photos.
Jobs and agriculture in Pasco County
Construction accounts for 99 of those jobs and wholesale trade for 70 on the same LEHD figures.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 94 construction establishments, and contractors among them run dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies. If the truck is titled to a company, have the officer who signs for it available.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,190 farms in Pasco County, led by cattle, equine and potted flowering plants. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and nursery box trucks from those farms are trucks we buy; tell us the farm road address so the pickup finds it.
