Sell your semi truck for cash in Louisiana the easy and convenient way

Louisiana's trucks work the river, the Gulf and the oil patch. In the census FMCSA published in October 2026, a little over 12,000 carriers give a Louisiana address, about half registered for in-state work only and a third of them private fleets. Two and a half thousand carry machinery and large objects, two thousand carry logs, poles and lumber, seventeen hundred carry metal in sheets, coils and rolls, fourteen hundred carry oilfield equipment, the only state on this site where that trade reaches the top of the list, and fourteen hundred carry grain, feed and hay. Picture the trucks: a winch truck headed down to Port Fourchon, the day cab semi truck draying boxes out of the New Orleans ramps, a log truck out of the piney woods around Bogalusa and DeRidder, the cane truck at grinding time, a tanker that filled at Garyville or Port Allen, a heavy-haul tractor moving a compressor between plants on the river road, a dump truck loading at a sand pit in Watson or Franklinton, and the box truck a Lafayette business keeps for its own deliveries. We make an offer on all of them.

Louisiana does not write one gross figure and stop. Under section 32:386 of the Revised Statutes a combination carrying a tridem or a quadrum axle may run to 88,000 pounds on a state-maintained highway, with the interstate carved out, and the condition is the truck's own configuration rather than its cargo: more axles under the load, more gross on top of it. The harvest permits sit above that. Sugarcane runs on its own annual permit under section 32:387.7 to 100,000 pounds, and that one has a hardware condition, an additional single axle on the trailer, six for the combination, so a five-axle rig does not qualify however it is loaded. Where most states switch an allowance off at the interstate and leave it there, Louisiana writes a second, lower figure for the interstate itself, 83,400 pounds for the same tridem or quadrum combination, above the federal 80,000 rather than below it. A cane truck on six axles, a tridem gravel hauler at 88,000, a heavy-haul tractor on permits and a service truck that never weighed in are the same truck to us.

Where the trucks sit: ten port districts in our data, New Orleans, South Louisiana at Killona, Greater Baton Rouge, Plaquemines, Lake Charles, Lafourche at Fourchon, Terrebonne, Central Louisiana at Alexandria, West St. Mary at Franklin and Lake Providence, with vehicles rolling on and off at the Nashville Avenue wharf and at Caddo-Bossier. Containers go onto rail at the four New Orleans ramps, Avondale, Bridge City, Elmwood and Arabi, and at Caddo-Bossier. The racks are everywhere there is water, fifty of them: Garyville, Port Allen, St. Gabriel, Meraux, Chalmette, Belle Chasse, Kenner, Westlake, Sulphur, Lake Charles, Port Fourchon, Amelia, Alexandria, Monroe, Shreveport, Bossier City and Arcadia among them. Salt comes out of the Weeks Island mine, sand and gravel out of 54 pits from Watson, Franklinton and Slidell to Norco, Bastrop and Dubberly, and the 57 rail yards run from Gentilly, Avondale and the Napoleon Avenue terminal around New Orleans to Port Allen, Livonia, Shreveport, Bossier, Monroe, Alexandria, DeRidder and Bogalusa. Barksdale, Fort Johnson, Camp Beauregard, Camp Minden and the naval air station at Belle Chasse keep military fleets. Cattle are the top farm product in 29 of the 64 parishes in USDA's 2022 census, soybeans in thirteen, corn in eight and rice in six, so the cattle hauler and the grain truck belong here too. Tell us the parish and the town and whether you'd like us to come for it, buy it from where it sits, or have you bring it in.

Every used vehicle in Louisiana is titled with the Office of Motor Vehicles, and a duplicate is ordered at an OMV office or at a public tag agent, a licensed private business that charges its own fee for the same work. The OMV offices: in New Orleans at 100 Veterans Boulevard and 7500 Bullard Avenue, in Baton Rouge at 7701 Independence Boulevard, in Shreveport at 6005 Financial Plaza, in Lafayette at 3241 Northwest Evangeline Thruway, in Lake Charles at 951 Main Street, in Monroe at 5171 Northeast Road, in Houma at 108 Capital Boulevard, in Alexandria at 5602 Coliseum Boulevard.

Start the duplicate and write to us the same day. A lien gets paid before the title moves, so ask the lender for the figure early. If the title carries a brand, say so in the first message and we carry on. That message is the year, make, model and VIN, a set of photos, a photo of the title, and where the truck sits, for a sleeper, day cab, heavy-haul tractor, dump truck, roll-off, mixer, garbage truck, wrecker or rotator, log truck, tanker, boom or crane truck, box truck, straight truck, utility truck, pickup or dually, and the answer to it is an offer.

Louisiana shares a border with three states.

Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.
