Nine of the 23 Choudrant carriers active on FMCSA’s carrier census put general freight on their cargo list. If your tractor or straight truck belongs to one of those outfits, or to you alone, we buy it from the yard, driveway or lot where it is parked today. Start by sending the VIN, the plate number and photos of the cab and the frame rails.
Five of those Choudrant carriers list grain, feed and hay, four list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and three list farm supplies, on the same federal census. Log trailers, grain hoppers and the tractors that pull them are all trucks we purchase. Tell us which trailer the tractor has been coupled to, and whether you are selling the pair or the tractor on its own.
Parish lines and state lines
Short runs from Choudrant and the longer ones
Of the Choudrant carriers in FMCSA’s census, 14 operate only inside Louisiana and nine cross state lines, while seven run private fleets hauling their own goods. A farm truck that never leaves the parish and a tractor with interstate authority sell to us the same way. Have the registration ready, plus the USDOT number if the truck ran under one.
FMCSA’s figures show 42 drivers here working inside a hundred-mile radius against 24 who go farther. Among five carriers that reported annual mileage, the median comes to 20,000 miles a truck on that same census. Whether your truck spends its days on parish roads or on longer hauls, tell us where it sits now and we plan collection around that spot.
Single trucks, whole yards
Choudrant owner-operators and one large fleet
The biggest Choudrant-based fleet in FMCSA’s census runs 57 power units with 34 drivers; the next two run five units and four units. An owner-operator with a single tractor and a manager clearing several units out of a yard both get the same process from us. List each truck with its VIN so we can go through them one at a time.
Two new carriers registered in Choudrant during 2025 and none in 2024, according to FMCSA. If you started hauling recently and are now selling the truck you began with, bring the title and the registration you were issued, and keep your operating authority paperwork nearby in case a question comes up about it.
A 2015 median year on Choudrant’s inspected rigs
We buy trucks across every model year, so give us the year, make and model up front along with the VIN.
Close to two thirds of those inspected trucks, 65 percent on the FMCSA inspection records, were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, keep any inspection reports and service records you hold together in the cab, and photograph the odometer, the data plate and each side of the truck before you reach out.
Plant, site and pasture
Plants, building crews and cattle in Lincoln Parish
Nearly one Choudrant job in five sits in a manufacturing workplace: 19.2 percent of 355 in 2023, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that move plant freight are on our list. If a company owns the truck, have the person who can sign the title ready when we arrange collection.
Building contractors in and around Choudrant number 12 establishments, a figure the Census Bureau publishes in County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and equipment haulers that serve those crews are trucks we buy, and so are the cattle and livestock trucks working the 325 farms the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records across Lincoln Parish, where cattle, deer and equine lead the list.
Terminals, rail yards and a gravel pit near Choudrant
West of Choudrant, about 21.7 miles toward Arcadia, the Energy Information Administration lists the ARCADIA petroleum product terminal, with ARCADIA TERMINAL a tenth of a mile beyond it. Tank trucks and fuel haulers that load there are trucks we take. Tell us what product the tank carried, and send a photo of the tank’s own data plate along with the tractor.
Heading east 21.5 miles, Wheelis Pit is a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. The North American Rail Network shows the ADVANCE rail yard 21.3 miles south-west and MONROE STATION 24.3 miles east. A dump truck parked at the pit or a drayage tractor near either yard can be collected right there, so give us the exact site address.
A lost title, five and a half miles from Choudrant
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles handles titles and registration for trucks from Choudrant. Its list of OMV offices includes North LA Auto Title LLC at 1406 Farmerville Hwy #3, ZIP 71270, about 5.5 miles from town by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles’ own office list. If the title has gone missing, start a duplicate there before you contact us.
A truck still under a loan needs the lienholder’s release before the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles will transfer it, so ask your lender for that letter early. Put the title or the duplicate request, the current registration and your photo ID together, and the hand-off at the truck goes cleanly.
