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

Dump trucks and end-dumps that load there often sit at the pit or in a yard close by between jobs, so tell us the exact spot and whether a loaded tractor can get in and out of the gate.

A second sand and gravel operation, LA 82 / Verot Pit, is 8.3 miles west of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck has hauled out of Verot, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, and we can plan the collection at the pit or wherever it is parked.

South-east of Cade, the NEW IBERIA rail yard is 8.1 miles out according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a yard like that are trucks we collect; have the registration and the title together before you call.

Further down the same road, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant, 10.8 miles south-east and the Weeks Island Mine and Mill, an industrial-mineral mine, 20.5 miles south. If your truck has run between those sites, any service records you kept from that work help us understand its history alongside your photos.

Up toward Breaux Bridge, ANSE LA BUTTE TERMINAL LA is a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration places 12.1 miles north of Cade. Tractors that pull fuel tankers from a terminal like that can be collected where they are based; tell us whether the tanker trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.

The LAFAYETTE rail yard lies 13.5 miles north-west, per the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck parked in Lafayette does not need to be driven back to Cade for us to pick it up; give us the street address and any gate or access hours for the lot.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 48 active carriers based in Cade, and 33 of them list general freight, 16 machinery and large objects, 10 logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 10 oilfield equipment. A flatbed, lowboy or log truck from any of those lines is a truck we buy, so tell us which trailer type it has been pulling.

Of those Cade carriers, 27 run intrastate only, 21 cross state lines and 18 are private fleets hauling their own goods, again on FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners with intrastate authority should have the Louisiana registration on hand; interstate trucks may also carry apportioned plates, and we ask about both when we collect.

Fleets here stay small: the three biggest in FMCSA’s carrier census each run three power units, with two or three drivers. If you are selling one truck out of a two- or three-truck operation, we can take that single unit and leave the rest of your fleet working.

Write down the odometer reading before you contact us; along with the VIN, it is the first thing we ask.

New authority keeps arriving too, with four new carriers registered in 2024 and four more in 2025 according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started an operation recently and are now selling a truck, have the purchase paperwork and the title in your company’s name ready so the transfer is clean.

Box trucks and tractors that serve plant work are on our list; tell us how the truck is set up, whether it has a liftgate or a reefer unit, and send photos of both.

Dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds from a contractor’s yard can be collected from the job site or the yard, whichever is easier for you.

Rice, horses and cattle lead the parish’s 378 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck, livestock hauler or farm flatbed parked in a field or barn lot near Cade can be picked up there; just tell us how the ground holds up for a tow truck.

The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles lists Thib’s Auto Titles & Tags, INC at 1212 Albertson Parkway, Suite K, Broussard, 70518, among its OMV offices, 4.4 miles from Cade. If the title for your truck has gone missing, that office can help you apply for a duplicate before we collect.

Bring your ID, the VIN and any registration papers you still have when you visit the Broussard office. If the truck is titled to a company, bring proof that you can sign for it, so the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles paperwork matches the name on the title.
