Bayou payrolls
Hauling jobs make up a third of Cut Off’s work
Of the 1,128 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Cut Off for 2023, 386 sat in transportation and warehousing, a 34.2 percent share. Tractors, straight trucks and the trailers behind them are the equipment behind those positions, and any of them can be sold from the yard or driveway where it is kept in Cut Off.
If you held one of those hauling jobs and the truck is now surplus, start by finding the title and checking that the name on it matches yours. Gather the registration card and whatever logbook or service file rode in the cab, too.
Oilfield crews
Oil and gas extraction work out of Cut Off
Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction accounted for 136 Cut Off jobs in 2023, or 12.1 percent of the total, in LEHD job counts published by the Census Bureau. Pickups with service beds, vacuum trucks, winch trucks and flatbeds that carry pipe or tools for that kind of crew are all on the list of what we buy.
For an oilfield unit, photograph the body and any mounted equipment as well as the cab and frame, and note what the equipment is in your message. If the truck carries a permit sticker or a site badge from a lease you worked, mention it so we know where the unit has been travelling.
Grinding plant haul
The Larose Grinding Plant, up the road north-west
Listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a mineral processing plant, the Larose Grinding Plant sits 4.3 miles north-west of Cut Off. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that cycle loads in and out of a plant like that are trucks we purchase, whether you keep them in Cut Off or nearer the plant gate.
Should the truck be parked on plant property rather than your own lot, tell us who controls access and give us a name to call. Scale tickets or haul records from the grinding plant are useful to send along, though a truck without them can still be sold.
Fourchon fuel and docks
Fourchon 16 and Greater Lafourche Port
Fourchon 16, a petroleum product terminal, lies 10.6 miles south-east of Cut Off according to the Energy Information Administration. A tank truck or a tractor that pulled fuel trailers from that terminal can be collected wherever it was last parked, down at Fourchon or back home along the bayou.
Fourteen miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Greater Lafourche Port. Flatbeds, box trucks and day cabs that worked the docks there can stay at the dock while you sell them. Send the dock or yard address and the VIN, and we arrange the pickup at that spot.
Cut Off model years
Model years of trucks stopped near Cut Off
Half of the 45 Cut Off trucks pulled over for roadside checks from August 2024 to August 2026 were built in 2019 or later, going by FMCSA roadside inspection records and their median model year. Have the model year, make and engine on hand when you reach out, along with a photo of the VIN plate.
Within those same 45 inspected trucks, FMCSA roadside inspection records show 42.2 percent were ten or more model years old. Older and newer units are both trucks we buy here, and the paperwork is the same for each: a signed title, current registration and clear photos of each side.
Parish builders and farms
Construction firms and farms in Lafourche Parish
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 11 construction establishments for the area, and LEHD job counts put 61 Cut Off jobs, 5.4 percent, in construction for 2023. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake-bed trucks that serve building sites around town can be sold from a job site or a contractor’s yard.
Cattle lead the livestock on the 339 Lafourche Parish farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of goats and then hogs. Livestock haulers, farm flatbeds and grain or feed trucks parked on a parish farm are trucks we collect there; just give us directions to the gate and the title holder’s name.
The questions we get asked in Cut Off
- Will you collect a truck that sits down by the Fourchon docks instead of in Cut Off?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Greater Lafourche Port 14 miles south-east of Cut Off, and we collect trucks at the port area as readily as in town. Send the exact location and a contact who can let us in.
- What if the title for my truck has gone missing?A missing title for a truck kept in Cut Off is replaced through Louisiana’s state title agency, and the duplicate should be in your name before collection. Tell us about it when you first get in touch so we can plan around it.
- Do you buy trucks that served the oilfield?With 136 Cut Off jobs in oil and gas extraction and mining in 2023, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, oilfield service trucks are common here and we buy them. Include photos of the body and any mounted equipment.
