West bank docks
Port docks 2.3 miles east of Edgard
The Port of South Louisiana is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as 2.3 miles east of Edgard. A tractor that has hauled to and from the river docks there may be parked at a yard close to the water when you call; give us that yard’s street address and gate hours so the pickup driver can get in.
Three miles to the north-west, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the PT OF SOUTH LOUISIANA rail yard. If your day cab has shuttled loads between that yard and the port, tell us which configuration it ran, whether a fifth wheel or a flatbed body, and send a photo of each side of the truck along with the VIN.
Marathon Dock, MPLX and the tank haulers west of town
Marathon Dock, a liquid bulk terminal, is 3.4 miles north-west of Edgard on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and MPLX, another liquid bulk terminal on the same federal roster, lies 5.9 miles to the west. Tank tractors working these docks are the kind we purchase, and the tank trailer can come along too if you own it.
For a tanker, keep the trailer’s inspection certificates and any terminal access paperwork together with the title. Those records tell us where the rig has worked, and you can photograph them and send them with your first message instead of waiting to be asked.
Garyville
Asphalt and fuel terminals at Garyville
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals near Garyville: GARYVILLE - ASPHALT, 4.8 miles west of Edgard, and GARYVILLE, 5.7 miles north-west. Asphalt tankers and fuel tankers out of those sites are welcome here, whether you run one unit or several.
Tell us which of the two terminals the truck loaded at, the axle count, and whether the tank is insulated or heated. With that, plus the registration and photos of the cab, the plate and the odometer, we can talk through your truck on the first call.
Dump trucks from the Gramercy plant to Beverly’s sand pit
West of town, the Gramercy Operation is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a mineral processing plant 7.2 miles from Edgard. On the opposite side, 8.7 miles east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Beverly Sand Pit #2, a sand and gravel operation.
Tri-axle dump trucks, end dumps and the tractors that pull them out of plants and pits like these are part of what we take. If the truck is still parked at either site, send us the location and the name of whoever can open the gate, and we will arrange collection there rather than ask you to move it.
Reserve
Titles in this state are issued by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, which runs OMV offices across the parishes. The one nearest Edgard is the OMV Reserve Office at 4034 W Airline Highway, Reserve, 70084, which the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles places 3.6 miles away.
Should the title be missing, a duplicate from that office comes before anything else in the sale. Take your ID and the VIN, and if a lender still holds a lien, ask the lender for a release letter at the same time so both papers arrive together.
Twenty farms in the parish, and their trucks
Away from the river terminals, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 20 farms in St. John the Baptist Parish, and the grain trucks, flatbeds and tractors on those farms are trucks we buy as readily as the ones that work the river.
A farm truck often sits in a shed or a field lane between seasons. Tell us where on the property it is parked and whether a trailer can back up to it, and keep any farm plate registration with the title.
