Bayou road east
Mineral hauling toward the Larose Grinding Plant
Heading east out of Bourg, the Larose Grinding Plant sits 14.9 miles along the road, recorded as a mineral processing plant by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and flatbeds that shuttle material to a plant like that can stay in a yard on the Bourg side while you sell; send us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
For a truck that ran loads to Larose, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab interior, plus a clear shot of the VIN plate.
Shell and Fourchon
Liquid bulk west, petroleum products south-east
Nearly twenty miles west, at 19.6 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a liquid bulk terminal under the name Shell. Tractors that pulled tankers between that terminal and Bourg are trucks we buy, sleeper or day cab, with or without the trailer that went with them.
Down at the coast, a petroleum product terminal called FOURCHON 16 sits 25 miles south-east of town on the Energy Information Administration’s list. A truck based near Fourchon can stay there; we collect from the terminal side as readily as from a driveway in Bourg, so tell us where it is parked and who can let us in.
For tank work, keep the registration and any inspection sheets the terminals asked for with the truck. Those papers travel with the sale and spare you a second round of questions.
Docks south-west
The parish port 20.6 miles south-west
Terrebonne Parish Port, LA appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port list at 20.6 miles south-west of Bourg. Container chassis, flatbeds and tractors that worked the port docks are part of what we purchase, wherever along that stretch they are now parked.
Seller still living near the docks or moved inland since? Either way the truck does not need to come to you or to us. Give us the yard address, a phone number for the person on site, and the VIN, and the pickup is planned around that spot.
Plant jobs and building crews around Bourg
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) placed 269 jobs in Bourg, and manufacturing held 60 of them, a 22.3 percent share. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that moved parts or finished goods for those plants all fit what we take.
Building firms count for something here too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns show 14 construction establishments around Bourg. Dump trucks, stake beds and service bodies that worked building jobs here can be listed with us straight from the job site; send photos and the plate number.
Goat farms across the parish
Around Bourg, Terrebonne Parish counted 137 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with goats at the top of its list. Stock trucks, pickups with gooseneck hitches and flatbeds that served those farms are trucks we purchase from farm owners directly.
A farm truck can stay in the barn lot or the pasture gate where it sits. Tell us whether a tow truck can reach it on a dry day, and include photos of the cab, the frame and the bed.
