Container and fuel work a few miles from Weston
Port Everglades lies 4.9 miles from Weston according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, so a day cab that pulls chassis off its docks may well be parked within a short drive of home. Give us the street address of the yard and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the pickup gets planned around that lot.
Fifteen miles east, the Energy Information Administration lists the Port Everglades East Terminal as a petroleum product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal 14.4 miles away in the same direction. If your tractor has pulled tankers between those two sites, mention which one it loaded at most and send photos of the fifth wheel and the cab interior along with the VIN.
The FORT LAUDERDALE rail yard, carried in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 16.2 miles east. A truck that dray-hauls between that yard and the port can be collected from either end; tell us where it sits tonight.
Quarry haulers south of town
WHITE ROCK QUARRIES is 11.2 miles south, and the FEC QUARRY and the PENNSUCO CEMENT PLANT both sit 15.6 miles south, each recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and mixers that run those pits often stay parked at a contractor yard near the gate, and we can arrange collection there.
For a dump body or a mixer drum, photograph the body, the hoist or drum, and the plate on the door jamb. Have the title and the current Florida registration on hand, and if the title has gone missing, start the replacement with the state’s title agency before you call so the paperwork moves alongside the truck.
Reefer, freight and private fleets in Weston
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 266 active carriers based in Weston, with 137 of them hauling general freight and 24 each listed for refrigerated food and for meat. A reefer unit should come with its trailer details and the reefer hours, so we can describe the whole rig correctly when we talk.
Of those carriers, 206 run intrastate and 59 cross state lines, while 70 operate as private fleets carrying their own goods, again per FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners running a single in-state tractor and owners selling a unit out of a private fleet need the same three things ready: title, registration and the VIN.
The same FMCSA census lists 812 drivers working within 100 miles and 336 beyond it, and the median truck among 32 reporting carriers logs 23,841 miles a year. Twenty-one new carriers registered in 2025 and 13 in 2024, FMCSA records show, so a newer operator selling a first truck can expect the same simple process as a long-standing one.
Fleets of every size and model year
The three biggest fleets in Weston by FMCSA’s carrier census field 261, 50 and 43 power units, with 238, 60 and 46 drivers. Selling several units at once works the same way as one: list each VIN with its location, and the collections can be grouped by yard.
FMCSA roadside inspection records for 135 trucks checked between September 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2016, with 49.6 percent of those trucks ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on yours, hand over the inspection reports and service records you keep in the cab along with the keys.
Wholesale, building and nursery trade
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 27,045 jobs in Weston, including 3,767 in wholesale trade, 657 in transportation and warehousing, 576 in construction and 254 in manufacturing. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for wholesale distributors are part of what we buy, and the cargo body dimensions help us describe them accurately.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 158 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments in the area. Flatbeds and stake-bed trucks from building firms can be collected from the job site or the shop, whichever is easier for you.
In Broward County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 658 farms, with potted flowering plants, foliage plants and equine operations at the top. A nursery delivery truck or a horse-trailer hauler is collected from the farm itself; just tell us which gate to use.
The questions we get asked in Weston
- My tractor hauls out of Port Everglades, so must I drive it home to Weston before you collect it?There is no need, since the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts Port Everglades 4.9 miles from Weston and we collect the truck wherever it is parked, at the port lot or at home.
- My dump truck stays at a yard near WHITE ROCK QUARRIES, so will you collect it from that yard?We will, because the Mine Safety and Health Administration places WHITE ROCK QUARRIES 11.2 miles south of Weston; send the yard address and a contact who can let us in.
- What paperwork should a Broward County owner have ready?The title, the Florida registration, the VIN and any inspection or service records. If the title is lost, the state’s title agency handles the replacement.
