Freight, cars, machinery and lumber off World Golf Village
General freight tops the cargo lines here, ticked by 93 of the 146 active World Golf Village carriers that FMCSA’s census tracks alongside lumber, car and machinery haulers. For a tractor that hauled dry van or flatbed general loads, name the trailer type in your first message and attach the VIN and a few cab photos.
Car haulers show up too: 29 of the carriers on the federal census here carry motor vehicles, and 26 move machinery and large objects. A tractor that pulled a stinger or a lowboy is one we can collect from wherever it is parked in St. Johns County; send a photo of the fifth wheel and the headache rack along with the title.
Lumber is the fourth line on the list, with 23 local carriers registered with FMCSA to haul logs, poles, beams and lumber. Log trucks and pole trailers often sit at a job site or a landowner’s gate rather than at home, so give us the gate address and a phone number for whoever holds the key.
One truck or many
From single tractors to a large fleet
The biggest operation on FMCSA’s carrier census for this town runs 816 power units with 689 drivers, while the next two run 31 and 12 units. Whether you are clearing out one tractor or several from a fleet that size, list each truck’s VIN, its plate and where it sits, and we schedule the collections from that one list.
Of the carriers on file, 80 run intrastate only and 66 cross state lines, according to FMCSA, and 57 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the door and a registration in the business’s name, so have the person who can sign for the business on hand when we collect it.
New authorities keep arriving: FMCSA recorded 18 new carriers here in 2024 and 14 in 2025. If you started a one-truck operation recently and are now stepping back, a title in your own name, the current registration and the cab card are what we ask for first.
Short regional loops and long interstate lanes
Driver records filed with FMCSA split almost evenly: 1,063 drivers work within 100 miles and 1,042 go beyond it. A truck on short regional runs is usually home at night, while a long-haul tractor may be parked at a terminal in another state when you decide to sell; tell us which applies and give us the address where it stands.
Among the 43 carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 26,667 miles a year. Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN, and add the logbook or ELD summary if you have it handy.
Roadside inspection records kept by FMCSA cover 234 trucks from this area checked between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2021. A 19.2 percent share of those 234 inspected trucks were ten or more model years old at the stop, per the same FMCSA roadside records. Any inspection reports you kept from those stops belong in the folder with the title and service records.
Jacksonville’s rail yards and installations to the north-west
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Fowden Intermodal Terminal in Jacksonville 21.3 miles north-west of World Golf Village, and the North American Rail Network shows the Bowden rail yard 20.2 miles out on the same heading. A day cab that drayed containers off those ramps can be picked up at the yard or at your house; give us whichever address is easier to reach.
Two military sites sit just past them: NAS Jacksonville at 20.9 miles and the DLA - DRMS installation at 20.6 miles, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked on or beside a base, tell us early what gate access a driver needs, so the pickup is arranged around the pass rather than turned back at the guard post.
South-west of town, the Pecan rail yard sits 22.2 miles away on the North American Rail Network maps. Trucks that work the yards on both sides of the county are collected where they stand; the title and the registration travel with the driver who takes the truck.
The East Palatka pit and the honey, horse and cattle farms
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists SRM Materials East Palatka, an industrial-mineral mine, 19.7 miles south of World Golf Village. Dump trucks and mixers that haul out of a pit like that are often parked on the site; tell us the pit address and who can let a driver in, and photograph the bed or drum along with the chassis.
St. Johns County has 223 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with honey, equine and cattle as the leading products. A stock trailer rig, a horse hauler or a flatbed that moves hives can be collected at the farm gate; send a photo of the body along with the cab and have the title ready.
Wholesale and construction work in the area
Wholesale trade accounts for 1,211 of the 5,418 jobs counted here in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, a 22.4 percent share, and construction adds 464, with manufacturing at 188. Box trucks and tractors that served those warehouses and job sites can be sold from the lot where they were last used, as long as someone can sign the title over.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies 104 construction establishments serving World Golf Village and its surroundings. If a contractor’s dump truck or flatbed is registered to the business rather than to you, bring the business documents that show who may sign, and keep the registration with the truck for the driver who collects it.
