Pits above Delcambre
Sand and gravel pits above Delcambre
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the LA 82 / Verot Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 7.9 miles north of Delcambre, and Legacy Aggregates LLC, another sand and gravel site, 8.3 miles north. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has been loading at either pit, it can stay in the yard it works from; give us the gate address and a name to call there.
Aggregate haulers from those two pits often end up parked on a farm lot or behind a house in Delcambre rather than at the pit itself. Wherever yours sits, send clear photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate, plus the registration, so we can see the same truck you are describing.
Tell us how the truck is set up for sand and gravel work - tandem or tri-axle, the body length, any tailgate or tarp system - when you first get in touch. Knowing the build from the start keeps our questions about your truck, not about the trade.
NEW IBERIA yard
The rail yard and mineral plant nine miles east
On the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the NEW IBERIA rail yard lies 9 miles east of Delcambre. Just past it, at 9.3 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant. A tractor that has shuttled loads between those two sites can be collected right where it was last parked.
If your truck has worked yard or plant runs on that eastern stretch, gather any site-entry records, inspection sheets or service invoices you still hold. They help us understand the truck’s working life; if you have none, tell us what it hauled and where, and we will ask about the rest.
Lafayette’s rail yard, which the same North American Rail Network places 20 miles north, is the other yard within reach of Delcambre. If your tractor is parked up there instead of in town, just give us that address.
Weeks Island
Industrial minerals to the south-east
Weeks Island Mine and Mill, an industrial-mineral mine, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 14.8 miles south-east of Delcambre. Trucks serving a mine site like that are frequently kept near the operation between shifts, and we can arrange collection there once you tell us who controls access.
For a truck that has hauled from Weeks Island, have the title, current registration and a set of photos of the frame, fifth wheel or body, and tires ready. A short note on what it carried and where it was based is useful too.
Anse La Butte
Tank work at the petroleum terminal up north
The Energy Information Administration lists ANSE LA BUTTE TERMINAL LA, a petroleum product terminal, 21.7 miles north of Delcambre. Tractors pulling tank trailers out of a terminal like that are among the trucks we purchase, day cabs and sleepers both.
If your tractor has been loading at Anse La Butte, tell us whether you are selling the tractor alone or with its tank trailer, and send the VIN for each unit. Separate VINs let us look at every piece on its own.
Farm trucks from the rice and pasture land
Around Delcambre, Vermilion Parish counts 1,113 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where rice, cattle and equine operations lead the list. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the tractors that pull horse and cattle trailers all come out of that kind of farming.
A farm truck that only moves at harvest or between pastures may be registered differently from an over-the-road unit, so send us the registration exactly as it reads along with the title. Photos taken where it is parked on the farm are all we need to start.
If the truck sits down a field road or behind a barn, describe how a carrier gets to it - gate, ditch crossing, soft ground after rain - so the pickup is planned for that spot.
A small working town
Owner-kept trucks in a small town
Delcambre held 221 jobs in 2023, a modest figure from the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for a bayou-side town. In a town of that size, a work truck is often owned by one person or a small family business and kept at home between loads.
If that describes your truck, the sale can be handled from your kitchen table: we come to the driveway or lot where it stands. Have the keys, the title and a phone number for whoever will be there on collection day.
A missing certificate and the counter on Louisiana Street
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles issues titles in this state, and its office list names SOS Notary and Title Services, LLC at 112 S Louisiana Street, Suite 3, Abbeville, 70510, one of the OMV offices, 8.6 miles from Delcambre. Should your truck’s certificate have gone astray, the Abbeville counter is where a Delcambre owner can apply for a duplicate.
Bring the VIN, your identification and the registration to the Abbeville office, and ask about a duplicate before you list the truck with us. If the title carries a lien, have the lender’s release on hand as well.
