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

Going by the Energy Information Administration, the petroleum product terminals listed as ARCADIA and ARCADIA TERMINAL both sit about 24 miles south-west of Bernice. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers on that run, or a straight truck that delivered from them to farms around town, is the kind of equipment we collect here.

If your tanker or tractor spent its working life shuttling between Bernice and Arcadia, tell us so when you first get in touch, along with the VIN and the address where it is parked. A yard on a farm road outside town is fine; we come to the truck rather than asking you to haul it anywhere.

Any loading-rack paperwork or terminal access records you kept for the truck belong in the folder with the title. They are not required, but they let us see the work the truck did between these two towns.

Around Bernice and across the rest of Union Parish, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 414 farms, with cattle, deer and equine listed as the leading operations. Stock trailers, flatbeds carrying hay and pickups-turned-haulers are the working fleet that kind of farming keeps on the road.

A truck that has hauled cattle or horses out of a Bernice pasture is often parked in a barn lot or at the edge of a field when its owner decides to sell. Send us a couple of photos showing the cab, the frame and where the truck sits, plus how a rollback or tow rig would reach it.

If your truck served a deer or horse operation near town, mention the body type and any equipment mounted on it so we know what we are collecting before we arrive.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) find 200 jobs located inside Bernice for 2023, counted where the work is done rather than where workers live. In a town that size, one owner-operator or a farm family often holds the only commercial truck on the property, and selling it is a private decision made at the kitchen table.

That is the situation we are set up for here. One truck, one owner, one pickup address in or around Bernice: give us the make, model year and VIN, and say whether the keys and title are in hand.

If the truck belongs to a small business in town rather than to you personally, have the person named on the title ready to sign, or a document showing you can sign for the business.

The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles runs the OMV Farmerville Office at 303 C East Water Street, Farmerville, 71241, which the agency’s own office list puts 15.3 miles from Bernice. That office is where an owner here would go to sort out a missing certificate of title.

Before the drive to Farmerville, check the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles used-title and registration page for what to bring, and write down the VIN before you leave. A replacement in hand before pickup keeps the sale simple.

Where a bank or finance company still shows on a Bernice owner’s title, carry its lien release to Farmerville as well. The OMV offices handle the paperwork that clears it from the record.

Start with the title, the current Louisiana registration and any service records kept in the glovebox or the farm office. Clear photos of all four sides, the dash and the plate on the door frame round out what we look at.

Then write down where the truck is: a street address in Bernice, a pasture gate off a parish road, or a shop in Farmerville. Exact directions save a second phone call on the day we collect it.
