Registered between the bases

Authority, private fleets and start-ups on the Haughton register

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 54 active motor carriers registered in Haughton, 36 of them authorised for interstate work and 18 kept inside Louisiana. If your truck crossed state lines under your own authority, have the USDOT number ready when you contact us; it ties the tractor to the operation that ran it.

Private fleets account for 24 of those Haughton carriers in the same federal census, meaning businesses that move their own goods rather than freight for hire. A truck from one of those outfits is often titled to the company, so the person selling needs to be an officer or someone holding written authority to sign for it.

New registrations keep arriving: the federal motor carrier census logs 5 carriers that started up in Haughton in 2025 and 4 in 2024. A young operation may still have a lender on the title, so check whether a lien release is needed before the paperwork is signed.

General freight, heavy loads, oilfield gear and timber

Of the Haughton carriers listed by FMCSA, 32 haul general freight and 22 move machinery and large objects. A dry van tractor and a lowboy rig are both trucks we buy here; for a heavy-haul unit, photograph the trailer hookup and deck along with the cab.

Oilfield equipment appears on the cargo lists of 18 local carriers in the federal census, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 15. Winch trucks, pole trailers and log rigs from this end of Bossier Parish are welcome, and a note on what the truck was set up to carry lets us ask the right questions from the start.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 771 jobs in Haughton, with construction holding 227 of them, a 29.4 percent share. Dump trucks and equipment haulers working those sites can be sold from the yard where they stand.

Terminals, bases and yards around Haughton

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Calumet Specialty Products Partners liquid bulk terminal lies 4.4 miles north of town. If your tanker or tractor loaded there, keep its hazmat and tank inspection paperwork together so it travels with the title.

Barksdale Air Force Base sits 5.9 miles west and the NG Camp Minden Training Site 6.8 miles east, both listed as military installations by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck parked near either gate can be collected there; tell us the access rules so a driver is cleared before arriving.

Ten miles west, the Energy Information Administration lists the Shreveport RP Truck Rack Terminal as a petroleum product terminal. Fuel haulers that load at that rack can stay where they are parked while you send us the VIN and photos.

Rail, river and gravel

Bossier and Minden yards and the Caddo-Bossier dock

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Bossier rail yard 13.1 miles west of Haughton and the Minden yard 13.4 miles east. Drayage tractors that shuttle loads between those yards sit in either direction from town, so give us the street address where yours is parked.

Southwest by 13.5 miles, the General Cargo Dock at the Port of Caddo-Bossier is a roll-on/roll-off terminal on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. Cyber Square, a sand and gravel operation 12.4 miles west, is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Aggregate dump trucks from that pit or tractors from the dock can be photographed on site and sold without moving them.

How the trucks are used

Local driving, long hauls and fleet sizes

FMCSA’s census splits the Haughton driver pool into 134 who stay inside a 100-mile radius and 116 who range past it. If you drove regional routes and your truck is now parked out of state, it can be collected where it stands rather than brought home first.

Across 21 reporting carriers, the median truck logged 18,397 miles in a year on FMCSA’s census figures. Write down the current odometer reading and the engine hours before you call, since those are the first two numbers we ask for.

At the top of the Haughton list in the federal carrier census, one fleet fields 69 power units and 55 drivers, a second 23 units and 12 drivers, and a third 22 units and 20 drivers. Selling several units at once works too: send a list with each VIN and where each truck sits.

Parish agriculture

Livestock, soybean and horse hauling around Haughton

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 462 farms in Bossier Parish, with cattle, soybeans and equine listed as the top products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and horse rigs from those farms are trucks we buy, and they can be picked up at the farm gate.

The LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau show 54 Haughton jobs in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, a 7 percent share in 2023. A farm truck is often titled to a family member, so confirm whose name is on the paper and, if it is lost, request a replacement from the state’s title agency before the sale.
