Larose Grinding Plant and the bayou haul
Listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a mineral processing plant, the Larose Grinding Plant lies 12.7 miles south-east of Lockport Heights. Dump trucks and flatbeds that shuttle material out of a plant like that often sit at a yard down the bayou rather than in town, so tell us the exact gate or lot where yours is parked and we will plan the collection there.
For a truck that has worked the Larose plant, send photos of the bed, hoist and tailgate, plus the cab and VIN plate, ahead of the collection. Keep the registration and any service records together with the title so the paperwork is in one folder on the day.
Sand pits at Hahnville, rail at Destrehan
About 23 miles north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations, Hahnville Pit at 23.5 miles and Hahnville Sand Pit at 23.9. A tri-axle or end-dump that works those pits may be staged on the north side of the parish, and we collect from wherever it sits.
The DESTREHAN rail yard, 23.4 miles north-east of Lockport Heights according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits in that same stretch. If your tractor has pulled loads to or from that yard, mention it when you call and send the VIN first, since every other question starts there.
Tankers to the river
Tankers bound for Good Hope, Shell and the St. Rose docks
Two liquid bulk terminals appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings within a short drive: Shell, 23.1 miles west, and Good Hope, 23.3 miles north. Tractors that pull tankers between docks like those are trucks we buy, and a list of the terminals yours served helps us ask the right questions.
North-east of Lockport Heights by 23.7 miles, the ST ROSE petroleum product terminal appears in Energy Information Administration records. For a tank trailer or a straight tank truck, have the most recent inspection reports on hand along with the registration, and send photos of the tank, valves and placard holders as well as the cab.
Builders and wholesale yards around Lockport Heights
Of the 249 jobs located in Lockport Heights in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 58 in wholesale trade, a 23.3 percent share. Box trucks, stake beds and day cabs that move stock for a wholesale business qualify, and a fleet owner can sell one unit or several at once.
Construction held 54 of those 249 local jobs, or 21.7 percent, on the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Contractors here with a dump truck, a flatbed or a service body they no longer need can send photos from the job site, and we will arrange to pick it up where it is parked.
Livestock trucks from parish farms
Around Lockport Heights, Lafourche Parish counted 339 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, goats and hogs listed as the leading livestock. Stock trucks, gooseneck haulers and feed trucks from those operations are welcome, whether one sits in a barn lot or behind a house off the highway.
For a farm truck, the title and current registration are what matter most, and a few photos of the cab, frame and bed taken in daylight let us see it properly. If the truck is registered under a farm name rather than your own, let us know at the start.
