Liquid bulk and petroleum terminals toward St Gabriel
LBC Tank Terminals, a liquid bulk terminal listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 4.8 miles south of Gardere, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists a liquid bulk terminal at St Gabriel 5.7 miles south. A tractor that shuttled tank trailers between those two gates may still be parked near either one; give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we arrange collection there.
The Energy Information Administration records the LBC Baton Rouge petroleum product terminal 5 miles south and a second Baton Rouge petroleum product terminal 5.3 miles west of Gardere. If your tanker loaded at those racks, pull together the trailer’s inspection certificates along with the tractor’s title. A tank unit sold with its paperwork answers our questions before we ask them.
For a tractor hooked to a tank trailer, tell us whether you are selling both units or just one. Send photos of each, plus the VIN plates and the trailer’s placard holders. We like to see what is being sold before anyone heads out to Gardere.
The KCS yard to the north and Addis across the river
Per the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Baton Rouge (KCS) rail yard is 7.5 miles north of Gardere. Day cabs that drayed freight to and from that yard are the kind we purchase, and the registration plus the odometer reading is the first thing to send us.
Addis, a rail yard 8.1 miles west on the North American Rail Network, puts a second set of tracks within reach of Gardere. If your truck is parked closer to Addis than to home, leave it there; tell us which lot it is on and we plan the pickup at that spot.
Trucks kept beside the Guard’s AFRC gate and out at Carville
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NG Baton Rouge AFRC, a military installation, just 0.4 miles west of Gardere. A truck kept near a gated facility like that needs an access plan, so tell us who can let our driver in and which entrance to use.
Farther out, NG Carville Gillis Long Center lies 10.9 miles south of Gardere according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If you hauled for work tied to either site and still have service logs, keep them with the title; they give us the truck’s history in your own words.
Herds and soybean rows
Horse trailers and grain hauls on East Baton Rouge farmland
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 435 farms in East Baton Rouge Parish, with cattle, soybeans and equine as the leading lines. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and rigs that pulled horse trailers all come out of that mix, and we buy them off the farm where they sit.
A farm truck in this parish may carry farm plates or be titled to the operation rather than to you. Check whose name is on the title before you call, and if it is lost, the state’s title agency is where a replacement starts; we can wait while that paperwork comes through.
Box trucks and service rigs on Gardere payrolls
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 1,307 jobs located in Gardere itself. Service trucks, box trucks and pickups with commercial plates that support that local work are welcome here, as are the heavier units listed above.
Whatever the truck did around Gardere, the steps are the same: the title in hand, current registration, any service records you kept, and clear photos of the cab, the frame and the tires. With those four things ready, the call with us is short and specific.
