Pits by the levee
Sand and gravel a mile or two from Hahnville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hahnville Pit 1.4 miles north-east of town and Hahnville Sand Pit 1.7 miles in the same direction, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load at pits this close may still be parked on site when you decide to sell. Give us the pit name and who controls the gate, and the pickup gets planned around that access.
With two MSHA-listed pits under two miles out, a Hahnville seller often has a truck that rarely left the parish. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and keep the registration in the glovebox so it travels with the truck on collection day.
If the truck hauled aggregate to job sites rather than staying at the pit, tell us where it sits now. A contractor’s yard or a driveway in town works the same for us; we need the address and a phone number for whoever is there.
Liquid cargo
Good Hope, St. Rose and the tank side of the parish
Good Hope, a liquid bulk terminal on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, is 1.9 miles north-west of Hahnville. Tractors that pull tankers in and out of a terminal like that are on the list of what we buy, day cab or sleeper. Note which terminals the tractor served when you first contact us, and have any terminal inspection sheets ready to share.
To the east, the ST ROSE petroleum product terminal sits 6.1 miles away and the KENNER BLENDING TERMINAL 11.1 miles away, both per the Energy Information Administration. If your tractor is staged at one of those lots, we can arrange collection there, provided someone can sign us in at the gate.
For a tanker unit, send photos of the fifth wheel, tires and the VIN plate along with the cab. Service records for the tractor, if you kept them, belong with the title when we arrive.
The Port of South Louisiana and the Destrehan yard
Listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Port of South Louisiana lies 6.4 miles north-west of Hahnville. A tractor that has run between the docks and plants nearby can be sold from wherever it is parked, whether that is a port-area lot or your own yard in St. Charles Parish.
Two rail yards appear in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: DESTREHAN, 3.7 miles east, and PT OF SOUTH LOUISIANA, 11.6 miles north-west. Drayage tractors working those yards should come to us with the VIN and the current odometer reading, since every other question we have follows from those two.
If you have moved on from port or rail work and the truck is still near Destrehan, you do not have to move it. Leave it where it stands, give us a contact who can open the lot, and handle the paperwork from wherever you are.
Service trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that support plant work are all trucks we collect, and a seller should have the title and registration in the same name before we schedule.
Construction holds 467 jobs, or 13.9 percent, in the same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau, with wholesale trade at 99 jobs. If your truck is a mixer, dump or utility body that worked those sites, tell us what body it carries and what it hauled.
Contractors who are closing out a job and have a truck sitting idle can send photos and the VIN first. We will ask about the rest once we know what the truck is.
A missing title is replaced through the state’s title agency; start that request before you contact us so the new title is in hand when we arrive in Hahnville. If a lender is still on the title, have the lien release with it.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 44 farms in St. Charles Parish. Farm trucks registered to a family operation should come with the title in the name of whoever signs the sale, plus any registration card that is current.
For any truck in the parish, a short folder works best: title, registration, any inspection or service records, and a set of photos from all four sides. That folder answers most of our questions before we ask them.
