Who files trucks from a Venice address
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 216 active motor carriers in Venice, and 89 of them haul general freight. If your truck is a straight truck or a tractor on general freight runs around Sarasota County, a VIN, the title and a few clear photos of the cab, the bed or box and the plate are what we need to start.
Of those 216 carriers, 180 run intrastate and 35 cross state lines, again by FMCSA’s carrier census. A Florida-only truck usually stays parked close to home between jobs, so tell us the street address where it sits and we plan the collection around that spot.
Private fleets make up 101 of the Venice carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. If the truck is titled to your company, have the person who signs for the business available, along with the registration in the company’s name.
Machinery, car haulers and lumber trailers
Forty Venice carriers list machinery and large objects as cargo on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 33 list motor vehicles. Lowboys, rollbacks and wedge car carriers all fall in that work; send a photo of the deck and the winch or ramps with the cab so we know the full setup you are selling.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 19 carriers’ filings in the same FMCSA census. If you sell a log truck or a flatbed set up for lumber, say whether the trailer goes with the tractor, and bring the trailer’s own title if it is separately registered.
Model years behind Venice-based cabs
Venice-based trucks stopped for roadside checks between September 2024 and August 2026 numbered 95 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, their middle model year sitting at 2020 and 22.11 percent built ten or more years before. Whatever the model year of yours, the service records you kept help us confirm the specification, so pull them together before you call.
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census for Venice run 43, 37 and 35 power units, the last with 74 drivers. Owners selling more than one unit from a yard like that can list every VIN at once, and we arrange the pickups at the same address.
Short runs and open clearances
Of the drivers on Venice carriers’ filings, 681 stay inside 100 miles and 259 go farther, while the 35 carriers reporting yearly mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census sit at a median 19,400 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading when you send photos so the listing we prepare matches the dash.
Not one of the 19 Venice spans listed in the National Bridge Inventory carries a weight posting or drops below 14 feet. Tell us if the gate or lot entrance where your tall box truck or tractor sits is narrow, and we plan the collection around it.
Factory floors and job sites in Venice
Manufacturing accounts for 3,432 of Venice’s 15,304 jobs in 2023, or 22.4 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and construction adds 1,394. Box trucks and stake beds that supply plants and building sites are trucks we buy, and a delivery log or job list shows us the routes they ran.
Builders and trade contractors run 130 construction establishments across Sarasota County, as the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies them. Dump trucks and flatbeds tied to that trade are often kept at a contractor’s yard, so name the yard and someone who can let us in on the collection day.
Transportation and warehousing holds just 110 local jobs, and wholesale trade 115, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures for 2023. Check whose name appears on the title before you contact us, whether it is yours or a business’s.
Mine and farms
Shell and fill to the south, farms across the county
Florida Shell & Fill Company LLC, an industrial-mineral mine 12.8 miles south of Venice, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. Dump trucks that haul shell and fill from sites like that can be collected from the pit area or your own lot; tell us which, and any site access rules.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 286 farms in Sarasota County, with propagative material, cattle and foliage plants at the top. Stake trucks, livestock haulers and reefer box trucks serving nurseries and ranches are welcome, and a farm truck plate or registration should travel with the title.
