Union Parish pine
Pine, poles and lowboys around Farmerville
Of the 33 Farmerville carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, a clear 19 put logs, poles, beams or lumber on their cargo line. If your tractor has pulled a log trailer or a pole trailer out of the woods around town, send us photos of the tractor and the trailer together, plus the VIN from the door jamb.
Machinery and large objects appear on the cargo list of 8 Farmerville carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. A lowboy or a heavy-haul tractor that has moved skidders, loaders or other equipment fits what we collect; tell us what it hauled and where it sits today, whether that is a yard in town or a cut-over tract out in the parish.
Feed and freight
General freight and farm supply routes
Seventeen local carriers haul general freight and 6 list farm supplies, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A box truck, a dry van tractor or a straight truck used for feed and fencing runs can all be collected from wherever it is parked around Farmerville.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 414 farms in Union Parish, with cattle, deer and equine the leading lines. A cattle hauler or a truck kept on a farm out in the parish does not need to be driven to town first; give us the farm road and a gate contact, and we plan the pickup around it.
Selling one unit from a Farmerville outfit
On FMCSA’s register, the three biggest fleets in Farmerville run 6, 4 and 3 power units, with 8, 7 and 3 drivers respectively. Selling one truck out of a two- or three-truck operation is normal for us; have the title and current registration for that unit ready, and leave the rest of the fleet out of it.
New registrations here numbered 4 carriers in 2025 and 2 in 2024, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started hauling recently and are now selling the truck you bought to do it, bring the title, any lien release from the lender, and your operating paperwork so the transfer is clean.

Crews in town
Dump bodies, flatbeds and supply-house trucks
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 2,177 jobs located in Farmerville in 2023, with construction holding 114 of them, about 5.2 percent. Dump trucks and flatbeds that serve those crews are trucks we buy; send photos of the bed or body as well as the cab.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 15 construction establishments, while wholesale trade accounts for 51 jobs, or 2.3 percent, in the LEHD counts. A delivery straight truck from a supply house can be picked up at the business itself, so tell us the address and the hours someone is there to hand over keys.
Signatures and records for a Union Parish sale
Start with the Louisiana title, signed over by whoever is named on its face. If it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request before you contact us keeps the sale moving.
Beyond the title, gather the registration, any inspection reports and service records you have kept, and a set of clear photos of every side. If the truck is titled to a business in Union Parish, have someone with authority to sign for that business available on collection day.
