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

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 105 active motor carriers based in Broussard, and 43 of them list oilfield equipment as cargo next to the 58 that list general freight. If your tractor has pulled skids, pipe or tool loads to well sites, tell us which yard it is parked in now and send the VIN, so the pickup is planned for that lot rather than for your home address.

Another 29 Broussard carriers declare machinery and large objects, and 16 declare metal sheets, coils and rolls, according to the same FMCSA census. Lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them fit what we buy; photograph the trailer deck, the tractor’s door tag and the cab, and have the title for each unit in your name before we arrange collection.

Of the 13,268 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts recorded in Broussard for 2023, 2,108 were in manufacturing and 2,099 in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction, each close to 16 percent. A truck that served a fabrication shop or a supply base often sits on that employer’s property; give us the gate contact and the hours someone can let us in.

Wholesale trade accounted for 1,582 of those 2023 jobs and construction for 832, the LEHD figures show, while transportation and warehousing held 512. Across Lafayette Parish, County Business Patterns lists 66 construction establishments, so dump trucks and flatbeds from site work are common here; bring the registration and any service records you kept for the unit.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Legacy Aggregates LLC, a sand and gravel operation 5.3 miles south of Broussard, and the LA 82 / Verot Pit 7.3 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks that run aggregate from those pits can be collected at the pit, at a contractor’s yard or at your place; just tell us which.

Further out toward the south-east, MSHA records place the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant, 15.3 miles away and the Weeks Island Mine and Mill 24.7 miles away. If your truck is still parked at a mine site, check whether the operator needs a visitor escort and pass that name to us with the photos.

Two rail yards bracket the city on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Lafayette, 8.7 miles north-west, and New Iberia, 12.6 miles south-east. A day cab that shuttled loads to either yard can be picked up wherever it now sits along that stretch.

North of Broussard by 8.4 miles, the Energy Information Administration lists the Anse La Butte Terminal, a petroleum product terminal. Owners of tankers and fuel-hauling tractors should have the title, the current registration and any tank inspection paperwork together before we schedule the visit.

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 181 trucks between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2020, with 27 percent of those units ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, send the VIN and the odometer reading first; the rest of our questions follow from those two.

Sixty-nine Broussard carriers run interstate and 36 stay within Louisiana, FMCSA’s census shows, and 68 of the 105 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A company that owns its trucks for its own deliveries can sell one unit or several; list each VIN and where each one is parked.

Owner fleets here range widely, with the FMCSA census showing one carrier at 402 power units and 231 drivers, another at 121 units, and a third at 91 units with 65 drivers. Carriers that registered in Broussard in 2025 numbered 8, after 5 in 2024, by the same census, and a small operator selling a single tractor gets the same pickup as a fleet.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 502 farms in Lafayette Parish, with cattle, soybeans and foliage plants leading. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and box trucks used for nursery deliveries all qualify; we collect from the farm itself.

If a farm truck has been registered under a business or family member, make sure the name on the title matches the person signing. Photos of the bed or box, the cab interior and the VIN plate help us understand the unit before we come out to the farm.

• My lowboy tractor is parked at an oilfield yard outside Broussard; does it have to come to me first?With 43 Broussard carriers listing oilfield equipment in FMCSA’s census, plenty of trucks here sit at service yards, and we collect from the yard. Send the yard address along with whoever holds the key to that lot.
• My dump truck works the pits south of town; will you collect it at the pit?Legacy Aggregates sits 5.3 miles south and the LA 82 / Verot Pit 7.3 miles south-west on MSHA’s list, and a truck at either can be collected on site once the operator clears the visit.
• Which papers and photos do Broussard sellers gather before pickup?Broussard trucks tend to be recent, with a 2020 median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records, so have the title in your name, the current registration, the VIN, the odometer reading and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.
