Westchase-based haulers on the federal rolls
Of the 69 active Westchase motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo 38 of them tick on their registrations. If yours is one of those box-van or dry-van tractors, have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the cab and the trailer coupling ready before you call us.
Of those 69 Westchase carriers, the federal census counts 52 that run intrastate only, 17 that cross state lines and 22 that operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title, so check whose name is printed there and who is allowed to sign for it.
New registrations keep appearing: five carriers here first registered with FMCSA in 2025 and seven in 2024, per the same census. If you started out recently and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender up front so the payoff letter can be requested alongside the title paperwork.
Car haulers, machinery and fresh produce
Ten Westchase carriers list motor vehicles as cargo and eight list machinery or large objects, according to the federal carrier census. Car-hauler tractors and lowboy setups are trucks we collect, so tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Seven local carriers report fresh produce among their loads in FMCSA’s records, and the county around them held 1,992 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with aquatic plants, cattle and transplants leading its farm sales. For a reefer unit, note the hours on the refrigeration unit and send a photo of its control panel with the rest.
Driver reach is listed too: Westchase carriers report 132 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 196 working beyond it, according to FMCSA. A truck that spends its weeks out of state can be picked up wherever it ends a run, so give us the yard address and a contact on site.
Down by the bay
Port Tampa, fuel terminals and the cement plant
Heading south-east toward the bay, the Port Tampa rail yard lies 12.3 miles from Westchase on the North American Rail Network map that the Federal Railroad Administration keeps with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drivers who shuttle loads between the yard and the bay terminals can leave the tractor parked there; we arrange the pickup with whoever controls the gate.
Two petroleum product terminals, Tampa Pt Ybor FL Asphalt at 12.6 miles and Tampa North at 12.7 miles, appear in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds the CITGO Petroleum Corporation and Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminals at 13.2 and 13.4 miles. If your tanker tractor has worked those racks, keep any terminal access cards or loading logs with the truck file; they show us where it has been.
At 13.1 miles south-east, the Tampa Cement Grinding Plant is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. A mixer or bulk cement hauler from that run is a truck we take, and a list of what the body and drum are fitted with saves a round of questions.
Ships and containers
Hooker’s Point and the roll-on berths
Berths 201 to 203 at Port Tampa Bay’s Hooker’s Point, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, sit 13.7 miles from Westchase in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port listing. Owners whose trucks move vehicles or equipment off those berths can sell from home; send us the VIN and the location and we plan the collection.
Just past it, Hooker’s Point Container Terminal is recorded by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a rail intermodal ramp, 14.6 miles out. For a day cab that has pulled containers from that ramp, the odometer reading and a photo of the fifth wheel are the first two things we ask for.
Wholesale, manufacturing and building work
Wholesale trade accounts for 439 of the 5,818 Westchase jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, with manufacturing at 284, construction at 193 and transportation and warehousing at 91. Straight trucks and box trucks that deliver for wholesalers are on our list, so tell us the body length and whether it has a liftgate.
Builders are a steady presence too: 56 construction establishments appear for this Westchase area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake-bed trucks off building sites qualify, and the truck can stay on the job site for collection if the site manager knows we are coming.
Model year and yearly miles in Westchase fleets
FMCSA roadside inspection records from November 2024 to August 2026 cover 33 trucks tied to Westchase carriers; their median model year is 2020, and about 27 percent were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year, give us the exact model year and engine from the title or the door sticker.
Note the current odometer reading when you photograph the dash, and add any service records you have in one folder.
The questions we get asked in Westchase
- My tractor sits near the Port Tampa rail yard rather than at my Westchase house; will you collect it from there?Port Tampa sits 12.3 miles south-east of Westchase on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from that yard or any lot near it. Tell us who runs the lot so the gate can be opened for the pickup.
- Our Westchase operation has a handful of tractors to sell at once; how do we go about it?Fleets registered here run from a handful of units up to one with 100 power units and 120 drivers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and we handle multi-truck sales. Send a list of VINs, titles and where each truck is parked.
- What should I have ready for a reefer that hauls produce?Seven Westchase carriers carry fresh produce according to FMCSA, and for their trucks we ask for the title, registration, refrigeration unit hours and photos of the cab, the unit and the trailer.
