General freight leads the Greenwood motor carrier list
Thirteen of Greenwood’s 18 active motor carriers put general freight on their FMCSA carrier census filings. If your tractor has spent its working life on general freight out of a Greenwood yard, start by sending the VIN, a photo of the cab-side door and a note of the trailer types it has pulled.
Four Greenwood carriers declare liquids and gases, four list machinery and large objects, and three run driveaway or towaway work, according to the same FMCSA census. A tank tractor, a lowboy rig or a driveaway unit all fit what we purchase; tell us which of those jobs yours did so the first questions are about that equipment.
Of the 18 carriers, the FMCSA census shows 14 authorised for interstate work, 4 working intrastate only and 3 running private fleets. An interstate tractor may be parked anywhere along its last route, so give us the exact address where it sits today rather than the Greenwood office address.
Three Greenwood fleets with double-digit power units
One Greenwood fleet reports 36 power units and 34 drivers to FMCSA’s carrier census, a second reports 22 units and 27 drivers, and a third 11 units with 20 drivers. An owner retiring several tractors at once from a yard that size can list every VIN in one message, and we arrange the collection as a single job.
Across six Greenwood carriers that report mileage, the median comes to 55,913 miles per truck a year in FMCSA’s census filings. Have the current odometer reading ready alongside the registration card; it is the second thing we ask for after the VIN.
FMCSA’s census shows one new carrier registered in Greenwood in 2025 and none in 2024. A newly formed outfit selling a tractor it bought in should have the title in the company’s own name before we collect, or the bill of sale that moved it there.
What the inspection stops show about local trucks
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors checked 67 trucks from Greenwood carriers, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2022 for them. Keep the most recent inspection report with the truck’s paperwork; it lists the unit number and VIN together.
Just under a third of those 67 Greenwood trucks, 31.3 percent, carried a model year ten or more years back, per the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever year yours is, the title is the key document: if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the duplicate, so start that request before you call.
Yards, racks and docks east of town
From Lake Hayes to the Port of Caddo-Bossier
Lake Hayes, a rail yard just 3 miles east of Greenwood, and Hollywood, 9.6 miles out the same way, both appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles from either yard can be collected right at the lot; tell us who controls the gate there.
Ten miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Calumet Specialty Products Partners liquid bulk terminal, and the Energy Information Administration places the Shreveport RP Truck Rack Terminal 18.7 miles north-east. If your tank tractor loaded at either site, send photos of the tractor and the trailer coupling and say whether the trailer goes with it.
The General Cargo Dock at the Port of Caddo-Bossier sits 19.8 miles east of town, where the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists both a roll-on/roll-off terminal and a rail intermodal ramp. A container chassis tractor parked near the port stays where it is; we come to the dock area rather than asking you to drive it back to Greenwood.
Gravel pits and parish farmland
Sand pits, cotton and cattle around Caddo Parish
Sunny Point, 14.8 miles east of Greenwood, and Cyber Square, 15.5 miles east, are both sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls. A dump truck or end-dump tractor working those pits may be parked on site, so give us the pit name and a contact who can let a driver in.
Caddo Parish counts 589 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, corn and cattle as the leading products. A farm truck or a cattle hauler kept on parish land is collected from the farm itself; send the registration and say whether the title is in a personal name or the farm’s.
Building trades, wholesale and hauling on the 2023 job counts
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 863 jobs in Greenwood, with 167 of them in construction, 98 in wholesale trade and 97 in transportation and warehousing. Construction rigs such as dump trucks, flatbeds and roll-offs belong on the list of what we purchase, alongside road tractors.
Eight construction establishments operate in the Greenwood area on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. If your truck belongs to one of those contractors, the person whose name is on the title is the one who signs, so have that owner or an authorised officer ready when we schedule the collection.
The questions we get asked in Greenwood
- Will you collect a Greenwood tractor parked at the Lake Hayes yard where it stands?Lake Hayes sits 3 miles east of Greenwood on the North American Rail Network, and we collect the truck there. Tell us who manages the lot so the pickup can be arranged with them.
- Would you take a tank tractor that loaded at the Shreveport RP Truck Rack Terminal or the Calumet site?Four Greenwood carriers declare liquids and gases to FMCSA’s carrier census, and tank tractors from that work are trucks we purchase. Send the VIN, photos and the terminals it served.
