Of the 32 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Ferriday, 22 list general freight among their cargo. If your tractor or box truck has carried mixed loads for one of them, send us the VIN, the cab style and a few clear photos, and tell us where in town it is parked.
Nine Ferriday carriers haul motor vehicles, according to the same federal census, so car haulers and the tractors that pull them are part of the local fleet. For a car hauler, photograph the trailer deck and ramps as well as the tractor, and say whether the two are being sold together or apart.
Seven list farm supplies and seven list machinery and large objects in FMCSA’s records. A lowboy tractor or a flatbed that has moved equipment around Concordia Parish is a truck we buy; have the title and the registration together before we schedule the pickup.
Soybeans, corn and cotton across Concordia Parish
Grain trucks, cotton module haulers and farm-plated tractors from those operations can be sold to us straight from the field or the farm yard.
If the truck sits on a farm outside Ferriday rather than in town, give us the road it is on and the name of whoever can meet the driver at the gate. Bring out any service records you keep in the barn office, since they tell us what the truck has done between harvests.
FMCSA’s carrier census splits Ferriday evenly: 16 carriers are authorized for interstate work and 16 for intrastate hauling only. If your authority is interstate, your truck may be parked in another state when you decide to sell, and we collect it from wherever it stands.
Fourteen of the town’s carriers are private fleets, per those federal filings, meaning they haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. A business selling a truck from its own fleet should have the title in the company’s name and someone authorized to sign for it.
Drivers at Ferriday carriers number 25 on runs within 100 miles of base and 45 going beyond that radius, the FMCSA census shows. For a long-haul sleeper, tell us its last stop and whether it is back home on the lot or waiting at a terminal down the road.
Small operators and one larger fleet
The three largest Ferriday fleets on FMCSA’s books run 22, 8 and 5 power units, with 22, 8 and 4 drivers respectively. Selling one tractor out of a bigger Ferriday fleet works the same as selling a lone truck: one title, one VIN, one pickup address.
Below those three, the town’s carriers are smaller outfits. If you are an owner-operator stepping away, send photos of the cab interior and the dash along with the outside, and keep the registration card with the title.
Read the odometer before you call us and give us that figure together with the VIN; the rest of our questions follow from those two numbers.
Eight new carriers registered in Ferriday in 2025, FMCSA’s census records, after none in 2024. If you opened your authority last year and are now selling the truck you started with, keep the purchase paperwork and title in one folder so the sale goes through cleanly.
Titles and jobs around Ferriday
Whatever work your truck did among them, its title is held through the state’s title agency, and that is the paper we need at the sale.
If a Ferriday truck’s title is missing, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before we arrange the collection. Tell us the moment you file, and we can line up the rest of the sale while the replacement is on its way.
