Sell your semi truck for cash in West Palm Beach the easy and convenient way

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Port of Palm Beach roll-on/roll-off terminal and the Palm Beach Terminal intermodal ramp both 4.5 miles east of West Palm Beach. If your tractor has shuttled boxes or rolling cargo off those docks, tell us whether it now sits inside the port gate or at a yard in town, because collection inside a secured terminal means we need the name of whoever signs us in.

Two rail yards on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sit close by: the West Palm Beach yard 4.4 miles east and the Port of Palm Beach yard 4.5 miles east. A day cab that has worked drayage between those yards and the docks is a truck we buy; send the VIN, a clear shot of the door plate and the Florida registration so we can match the unit to its paperwork.

Sharing that same strip east of town, the Energy Information Administration records a West Palm Beach petroleum product terminal 4.5 miles out. Fuel haulers who loaded there should list which tank trailer, if any, comes with the tractor, and photograph both together so nothing is left out of the sale.

Of the 1,913 active West Palm Beach carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo for 1,009. The same census shows 246 carrying motor vehicles, 219 handling garbage, refuse and trash, and 161 moving household goods, so the trucks we collect here range from car haulers and roll-offs to moving vans and box trucks.

Most of these outfits stay inside Florida: of the registered carriers, 1,531 run intrastate and 378 cross state lines, according to the same FMCSA census, with 501 operating as private fleets for their own goods. An intrastate truck usually carries no IFTA decal or apportioned plate, so a plain Florida registration plus the title is normally all the paperwork we ask to see.

Registrations keep coming: FMCSA recorded 145 new carriers in West Palm Beach for 2025 after 129 in 2024. If you started a small operation and are now letting a unit go, the title in your company name and a letter showing who can sign for the business are what we will need on pickup day.

Carriers here report 4,705 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 2,069 beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Local work means the truck is usually parked at a home yard or a job site in the county at day’s end, so give us that address and the hours someone can open a gate.

Among 307 carriers that filed mileage with FMCSA, the median truck logged 35,200 miles a year. Read the odometer off the dash and photograph it with the ignition on; that single picture answers the first question we ask about any tractor or straight truck.

One registered fleet in town lists 1,123 power units and 1,079 drivers, and two others list 160 and 100 power units, again on FMCSA’s census. Fleet managers parting with several units at once can send a single spreadsheet of VINs and yard locations rather than calling about each truck.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 1,048 trucks tied to West Palm Beach carriers, with a median model year of 2020. A model year ten or more back showed up on 24.7 percent of those inspected West Palm Beach trucks, by the same FMCSA records.

Whatever the model year of yours, the steps are the same: photograph the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel or body, and each axle’s tires, and keep your most recent inspection report or service invoices in the cab folder. Those documents travel with the truck when we collect it.

Construction accounts for 5,707 of the 95,634 jobs located in West Palm Beach in 2023, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the same bureau lists 661 construction establishments in the city. Dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds that serve those contractors are all on our list; tell us the body type and any attached equipment such as a pup trailer or crane.

Out past the western suburbs, 15 miles from downtown, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records a crushed-stone quarry feeding Palm Beach County job sites with rock. A truck parked at a pit or a contractor’s lot out that way does not need to come into the city; send the location and the name of whoever controls the site, and we schedule the pickup there.

For goods movement, LEHD counts 1,751 transportation and warehousing jobs and 1,936 in wholesale trade within the city limits, while 2,747 people work in manufacturing. Box trucks and reefers from distributors along those lines are welcome, with the title and the latest registration renewal.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,368 farms in Palm Beach County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and equine operations at the top of the list. Nursery box trucks, stake beds and horse-hauling rigs from those growers fit what we buy; tell us whether the reefer unit or the trailer goes with the sale.

Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting provide 416 jobs inside the city on the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures, so most farm trucks we collect sit out in the county. Pin the property on a map and tell us about gates, soft ground or animals in the yard before we send a driver.

Across the canals and rail lines of West Palm Beach, the National Bridge Inventory counts 72 bridges, with two load-posted and no structure lower than 14 feet. Tell us the street your truck sits on so we can plan a route for the carrier that picks it up.

If the Florida title has gone missing, apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate in the name shown on the registration. Start that request before we schedule collection, and keep the receipt to show it is under way.

• My tractor is parked inside the Port of Palm Beach. Will your driver come through the port gate for it?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the port’s roll-on/roll-off terminal 4.5 miles east of the city, and we go to the truck. Give us the gate contact so our driver is cleared to enter.
• My roll-off truck works a county refuse route. Will you take a packer or roll-off off that route?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 219 West Palm Beach carriers hauling garbage, refuse and trash, and their roll-offs and packers are trucks we purchase. Send photos of the body and hoist with the title.
• The truck sits at a farm out near the quarry west of town. Do I have to bring it into West Palm Beach first?A crushed-stone quarry sits 15 miles west on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from farms and lots out that way. Send the address and who can let us in.
