Terminal trailers
Anse La Butte and the tank work around Cecilia
About 7.7 miles south-west of Cecilia, the Energy Information Administration lists the Anse La Butte Terminal as a petroleum product terminal. A tractor that has pulled fuel trailers in and out of that gate is the sort of truck a Cecilia owner can sell to us without moving it first. Tell us whether it is parked at your place or still on a lot near the terminal.
Opelousas holds a second petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, 21.2 miles north-west of town. If your tanker or tractor split its weeks between Anse La Butte and Opelousas, have the cab card, the title and any terminal or service records together. Photos of both sides of the tractor and the trailer coupling help us read the truck before we arrive.
Pits below town
Dump trucks from the sand and gravel pits south of Cecilia
B & D Sand Pit, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation, lies 8.6 miles due south of Cecilia. Tandem dumps and end-dump tractors that load there tend to sit at the pit or at the owner’s yard between jobs. Let us know which, and whether a gate code or a contact is needed to reach it.
Further down the same road south, Legacy Aggregates LLC appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as another sand and gravel operation, 19.6 miles out. A dump body, a hoist or a trailer that came with the truck belongs in your first message to us. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the bed raised so we see the whole unit.
Rail shuttles from Cecilia to Lafayette and Livonia
The Lafayette rail yard, shown on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 14.1 miles south-west of Cecilia. Day cabs that shuttle loads between that yard and shippers around the parish are trucks we collect from wherever they are parked.
North-east across the Atchafalaya side, the same North American Rail Network places the Livonia rail yard 21.9 miles from Cecilia. A truck that worked out of Livonia does not need to be driven back to Cecilia for us to see it. Send the Livonia-side address where it is parked and the name of the person at that yard who can hand over keys.
Berard Street OMV
Getting a lost truck title replaced next door in Breaux Bridge
Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles lists its OMV Breaux Bridge Office at 101 Berard Street, Suite D, Breaux Bridge, 70517, one of its OMV offices and 5.4 miles from Cecilia. If the title to your truck has gone missing, that office is the nearest place to apply for a duplicate before the sale.
Bring your registration and a photo ID when you visit Berard Street, and ask the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles staff about any lien recorded on the truck. A cleared lien release and the duplicate title in hand let us close the purchase with nothing left outstanding.
Rice, horses, cattle
Farm trucks across the parish fields
Rice, equine and cattle head the farm list for the parish around Cecilia, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 378 farms in St. Martin Parish. Grain trucks, stock haulers and horse-trailer tractors from those operations are all trucks we buy.
A farm truck often lives in a barn or at the edge of a rice field rather than on a paved lot. Tell us which field road reaches it and whether it is behind a gate, and send a photo of the truck where it stands so the pickup crew knows what to expect.
