Charenton has a fuel terminal two miles south, salt and mineral sites to the west and a port farther south, and the trucks that serve them are the ones we come here to buy.

Selling a truck in Charenton? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Fuel tractors parked a short hop from the Baldwin racks

Just two miles below Charenton, Baldwin has a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s roster. A tractor that has loaded tank trailers there is usually parked close to home between runs, so tell us whether it sits in your yard in Charenton or at a lot by the terminal, and we will plan to collect it at that spot.

Fuel haulers tend to keep a folder of terminal paperwork: loading records, hazmat endorsements on file, tank test dates. If you have any of that for a truck based near the Baldwin terminal, keep it with the title so the history of the tractor and its trailer is in one place when you contact us.

Hauling to West St. Mary Parish Port

Roughly thirteen miles south of town, the West St. Mary Parish Port appears among the ports catalogued by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Flatbeds, roll-offs and day cabs that shuttle between dockside yards and Charenton are all trucks we purchase, whatever trailer they have been pulling.

A truck that finished its last job at the port does not need to be driven back up to Charenton for us. Send the address of the yard, the name of whoever controls the gate, and photos of the cab, frame and tires taken where it stands.

West along the salt domes

Weeks Island and the New Iberia plants

Weeks Island Mine and Mill, an industrial-mineral mine about 16.8 miles west of Charenton, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, along with the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant some 18.6 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks and bulk haulers that have moved product off those sites keep plant gate passes and service logs that belong in the folder you send with your photos.

Southeast of town the picture is similar: Baramin US, LLC, a mineral processing plant 23.3 miles away, also shows up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Whichever of these three sites your truck worked, write down the VIN and the odometer reading before you call; those two figures answer most of our first questions.

A yard twenty miles west

Where the rail line meets the road

Twenty miles west, the New Iberia rail yard is mapped in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that carry freight between that yard and Charenton-area shippers often make regular short runs, and we buy them as readily as long-haul sleepers.

If your truck is stored near the New Iberia yard rather than at home, give us that location. We collect from where the truck is parked, so there is no need to move it toward Charenton before the sale is settled.

Plant jobs, builders and parish farms

Charenton had 533 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 123 of them, or 23.1 percent, were in manufacturing. Box trucks and straight trucks that run parts and supplies for those employers fit what we buy, so tell us the body type and length when you get in touch.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 12 construction establishments here, firms that keep dump trucks and flatbeds working local jobs. Farther out, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 75 farms parishwide in St. Mary Parish; there soybeans, cattle and honey lead; a grain truck or livestock hauler from one of those farms is one we will look at too.

A missing pink slip and the OMV counter on West Main

Titles in this state are issued by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and its OMV offices include Fast Tag, Title & License at 1803 W Main Street, Suite C, Franklin, 70538, about 4.7 miles from Charenton. If the title is missing, that office is the closest place listed to start a replacement.

Before you go, gather the registration, a photo ID and any lien release from the lender who financed the truck. Bring those back with the new title, and the same papers are what we will ask to see at pickup.
