Trucks that serve the yards at Pensacola and Goulding
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Pensacola yard 1.7 miles south-east of West Pensacola. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from that yard can be collected right where it is parked between runs, so send us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Goulding, a second yard listed on the North American Rail Network, lies 3.1 miles north-east of town. If your tractor has been pulling loads off the Goulding sidings, photograph the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel in daylight. Send those pictures along with the VIN and a copy of the title.
If the truck is kept at home in West Pensacola rather than at either yard, tell us which spot it will be in on collection day, whether a driveway, a shop or a fenced lot, and we plan the pickup at that address.
Tank work on the bay side of West Pensacola
On the Energy Information Administration’s list of petroleum product terminals, Pensacola TPSI sits 3 miles south-east of West Pensacola. Tank trucks and tractors that load at a terminal like this one are on the list of what we buy, so tell us what product the unit carried and whether the tank trailer is part of the sale or stays behind.
Trans Montaigne, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal, is also 3 miles south-east of town. Hazmat haulers who served it should gather the registration, the title and any terminal inspection sheets in one folder, since those papers answer most of what we will ask about the truck’s work history.
Dump trucks hauling from Quikrete Mine and Molino Pit
A sand and gravel operation called the Quikrete Mine appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list 17.7 miles north-east of West Pensacola. A dump truck or a tractor with an end-dump that hauls from that pit can stay at the site for pickup if the operator allows it; give us a contact there who can let our driver onto the property.
Further up the county, Molino Pit is another sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roll, 22.9 miles north of town. If the truck sits out there between jobs, a set of photos showing the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, is enough for us to start, and you can handle the rest from West Pensacola.
Contractor and delivery trucks in West Pensacola
Construction accounted for 438 of West Pensacola’s 4,526 jobs in 2023, a 9.7 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Contractors here run dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks between job sites, and any of them can be collected from the site or the contractor’s yard once you send us the address.
According to the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau, manufacturing held 207 jobs and wholesale trade 151 in 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks that make deliveries for those employers count too; have the title in the business’s name ready, along with a note of who is authorised to sign for the company.
Farm trucks from Escambia County’s cotton and cattle land
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture recorded 515 farms in Escambia County, with cotton, cattle and honey as the leading products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds used on those farms are trucks we buy, and they can be collected from the barn or the field road where they are kept.
If the title for a farm truck has gone missing, say so when you first contact us and tell us whose name it was last registered in. Have the registration card and any bill of sale from when the farm bought the truck on hand, since those papers help settle ownership before collection.
Selling a truck kept by Corry Station or Saufley Field
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Corry Station, a military installation, 2.1 miles south-west of West Pensacola, and Saufley Field 5.3 miles north-west. Trucks parked on or near either site may need a gate pass for our driver, so let us know in advance which entrance applies and who can sign us in.
Service members reassigned away from Corry Station or Saufley Field can leave the truck behind in West Pensacola and complete the sale from a new posting. Give us the address where it is parked and a local contact with the keys, and keep copies of the title and registration on your phone.
