Sell your semi truck for cash in Houma the easy and convenient way

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 173 active carriers based in Houma, and 55 of them list oilfield equipment as a cargo they carry. If your tractor or winch truck has spent its working life moving rig parts and tubulars, tell us the trailer it pulled and the yards it served, so we can ask the right questions about your setup from the first call.

Machinery and large objects appear on 33 Houma carrier registrations in the federal carrier census, with metal sheets, coils and rolls on 22. Lowboys, step decks and flatbed tractors that move that kind of load are trucks we buy. Have the title, the current registration and a few photos of the deck, the tie-down points and the cab ready before you reach out.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Shell liquid bulk terminal 13.9 miles west of Houma and Terrebonne Parish Port 18.4 miles to the south-west. A tank tractor parked near either one can stay there; send us the gate address and the name of someone who can let a driver through.

Further out, the Energy Information Administration lists the AMELIA petroleum product terminal 24.4 miles west, while the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Larose Grinding Plant 20.5 miles east. If your truck is sitting at one of those sites instead of in town, give us that location and we will arrange collection where it stands.

Of the active Houma carriers in FMCSA’s census, 92 operate intrastate only and 81 cross state lines, and 102 run private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever describes your outfit, the paperwork we ask for stays the same: title, registration and any service records you have kept.

Drivers working for Houma carriers split into 230 who stay within 100 miles and 325 who go beyond it, according to the carrier census. Across 54 local carriers that report mileage, the median truck covered 14,473 miles a year on FMCSA filings. Note the odometer reading when you contact us; it is one of the first things we ask.

Roadside checks of 155 Houma-registered trucks between September 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2020, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. Bring the VIN and the model year to the first conversation, along with the engine make if you know it.

Just under a third of those Terrebonne trucks, 32.3 percent in the FMCSA roadside inspection records, carried a model year ten or more years back. Older and newer tractors alike are on our list, so send photos of every side whatever the year on the title.

The biggest Houma fleet in FMCSA’s census runs 219 power units with 45 drivers, the next 108 units with 37 drivers, and a third 23 units with 15 drivers. Selling several trucks at once works the same way as selling one: list each VIN and where each unit is parked.

New registrations keep arriving, with 12 Houma carriers added in 2024 and 11 in 2025 per FMCSA’s carrier census. A newly formed outfit selling its first truck needs the title in the company’s name, or a signed release from whoever holds the lien.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 13,481 jobs in Houma for 2023, with 926 in transportation and warehousing and 745 in construction. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks serving that work can be collected from a job site or a shop lot in town.

Oil and gas extraction, mining and quarrying held 519 Houma jobs in the 2023 LEHD figures, manufacturing 546 and wholesale trade 435. Terrebonne Parish holds 113 construction establishments, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck belongs to one of those businesses, have the registered owner sign the title before collection.

Of the 84 bridges around Houma in the National Bridge Inventory, 13 carry posted load limits and none has clearance under 14 feet. Tell us the route to your truck’s spot so a heavy recovery unit can plan around any posted crossing.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 137 farms in Terrebonne Parish, with goats listed as the top product. A farm truck kept on rural acreage outside Houma is collected where it sits; send directions and the gate arrangement.
