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

Of the 127 active Covington carriers on FMCSA’s census, 66 are private fleets moving a business’s own goods rather than freight for hire. If your Covington company keeps a few trucks for its own deliveries, sell one unit or the whole group; send the VIN for each and tell us which ones you are ready to let go.

Of those Covington carriers, 70 are cleared for interstate work and 57 stay inside Louisiana, per the same federal census. An interstate tractor registered under the International Registration Plan should come with its cab card, so have that and the Louisiana title together when we schedule the collection.

Thirteen carriers registered in Covington during 2025, and 8 during 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started up recently and are now trimming down to one truck, a title in your company’s name plus the registration is what we ask to see.

General freight is listed by 69 Covington carriers in FMCSA’s census, while 18 list logs, poles, beams and lumber. A log truck or pole trailer that has worked the pine country north of town is something we buy as readily as a dry van tractor; photograph the bunks, the frame rails and the loader if it carries one.

Twenty-one carriers here declare machinery and large objects, and 16 declare metal sheets, coils and rolls, according to the federal carrier census. Lowboys, step decks and coil-rated flatbeds belong in that group, so tell us the trailer type and deck length along with the tractor details.

Among the 40 Covington carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck logged 14,167 miles a year. Read the odometer and the engine hours off the dash and send both with your first message so we can line up the right questions.

On the road toward Franklinton, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places River Road’s sand and gravel pit 15 miles from Covington and the Franklinton Crusher Plant at 18.8 miles, both due north. A dump truck that is parked at one of those pits can stay there; give us the gate contact and the spot where it sits.

Bogalusa’s rail yard sits 24.8 miles north-east of town on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drivers who shuttle loads to that yard often leave a tractor near the tracks, and that is a fine place for us to collect it.

Two National Guard installations appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: NG Hammond Airport 18.1 miles west and NG Camp Villere 21.1 miles south-east. If your truck is kept on a lot near either, check the access rules first and tell us who can let our driver in.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 446 trucks belonging to Covington-based carriers, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give their median build as model year 2021. Whatever the year on yours, have the VIN plate photographed so the build year and the title match on the first try.

Just over 18 percent of that inspected Covington group, 18.16 percent per the same FMCSA roadside records, carried a model year ten or more years back. An older unit is welcome here; bring out any service records you have kept, since they let us confirm the engine and transmission specification.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 16,710 jobs in Covington in 2023, including 656 in construction, 259 in manufacturing, 196 in wholesale trade and 166 in transportation and warehousing. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body that has finished a job here can be sold straight from the yard where it is kept.

With 180 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns rolls, Covington’s contractor yards are a likely place for a dump truck or flatbed to be parked when we arrive. If your crew is retiring a truck, let us know whether the title is held by the business or by an owner personally, since the signature has to match.

St. Tammany Parish had 845 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and corn the leading products. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer tractors and grain trucks parked on a parish farm are collected where they sit; send a pin for the barn or field gate.

Covington’s 44 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory include three with posted load limits, while not one of them drops below 14 feet of clearance. Mention the street your truck is on, so the pickup route avoids those posted crossings with a loaded carrier.

Fleets of 559, 480 and 297 power units top the Covington list in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 128, 428 and 132 drivers respectively. Owners selling several tractors at once can list them together with VINs and locations, and we will plan the collections across the lots.

FMCSA’s carrier census also counts 952 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 435 beyond it. If your rig is out on a long run, sell it once it returns to St. Tammany Parish, or tell us the town where it will be parked.

• Will you pick up a dump truck sitting at a Franklinton-area pit?River Road sits 15 miles north of town and the Franklinton Crusher Plant 18.8 miles north, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like those. Give us the gate contact and the truck’s spot in the yard.
• The Louisiana title for my Covington rig has gone missing - now what?Louisiana’s title agency issues duplicate titles, so apply for one in the name shown on the registration before pickup. Tell us when you start, and send the VIN so we can match the paperwork.
• Do you take log trucks and lumber trailers?Eighteen Covington carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber in FMCSA’s census, and their trucks are ones we buy. Photograph the bunks, standards and any loader along with the cab.
• Can a St. Tammany private fleet sell only part of its trucks?Sixty-six of the 127 Covington carriers in the federal census run private fleets, and selling one or several units works the same way. List the VINs and where each truck is parked.
