Sand pits on the Henderson side of the parish
B & D Sand Pit lies 7.5 miles south of Henderson, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls from a pit that close is often parked at the owner’s yard or at the pit gate, so tell us which one when you get in touch and we will collect it there.
Further out, Legacy Aggregates LLC is a sand and gravel operation 19.4 miles south-west, also on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. If your tandem or tri-axle has split its loads between these two pits, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab along with the VIN, and note which pit it last worked from.
Westward from Henderson, the Energy Information Administration places the Anse La Butte petroleum product terminal 9.3 miles out. Tank trucks and tractors pulling fuel trailers off that rack are the kind of equipment we buy; have the registration and any tank inspection paperwork with the truck when you contact us.
Opelousas has a second petroleum product terminal, 23.9 miles north-west, per the Energy Information Administration. A tractor that has shuttled between Opelousas and Anse La Butte can be picked up at either end of that run, or at your home in Henderson, wherever it is parked when you call.
Henderson’s rail links at Lafayette and Livonia
Sixteen miles west of Henderson, a rail yard at Lafayette appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your day cab drays freight to and from that yard, tell us so and give us the year, make and model from the registration so we can start with the right questions.
On the same North American Rail Network map, Livonia’s rail yard sits 20.7 miles north-east of town. If your truck has worked loads out of Livonia, there is no need to bring it back toward Henderson first, since we come to the truck.
Plants and warehouses around Henderson
Of the 533 jobs located in Henderson in 2023, manufacturing held 93, a 17.4 percent share, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and flatbeds that move parts or finished goods for a plant should be photographed inside and out, including the liftgate or deck, before you send them to us.
Wholesale trade filled another 80 of those jobs, or 15 percent, according to the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. A straight truck or tractor kept on wholesale delivery routes from Henderson usually comes with a service file; send the records you have, and the VIN, so the details match the truck.
Grain trucks and livestock haulers in the parish
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 378 farms in the parish around Henderson, St. Martin Parish, where rice, equine and cattle top the list of products. Grain trucks used at rice harvest and stock trailers pulled behind tractors are both on the list of what we purchase.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or field between seasons, so give us the farm’s address and a note on the gate or track we will use to reach it. Horse and cattle haulers should come with the tractor’s title and the trailer’s paperwork together, if you are selling both.
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles runs its OMV Breaux Bridge Office at 101 Berard Street, Suite D, Breaux Bridge, 70517, which the agency’s own office list puts 6.6 miles from Henderson. A seller whose title is lost or carries an old lien can apply for a replacement there before we collect the truck.
Bring your registration and photo ID to that OMV office if the title needs replacing, and tell us when you first contact us that a new one is on its way. If the title is in hand, sign nothing until we confirm the name on it matches the seller.
