Gramercy plant gate
The Gramercy Operation and the river road
Just 3.1 miles east of Lutcher, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Gramercy Operation as a mineral processing plant. Dump trucks and tractors that shuttle between a plant gate and the highway tend to stay parked close to that gate between shifts, so if yours is sitting in a yard near Gramercy, give us the yard’s address and a name for whoever controls access.
Plant traffic usually means site paperwork: gate passes, safety sign-offs, service logs kept for the operator. Gather what you still have and photograph the cab, frame, tires and the VIN plate, so the truck we arrive to collect matches the one you described.
Fifteen and a half miles the other way, west of town, South Louisiana Fill Materials, LLC appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. A tandem dump that has worked both ends of that run can be picked up wherever it last parked, east or west of Lutcher.
East bank fuel racks
Fuel terminals between Lutcher and the port
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals under the MT AIRY name about 3.9 and 4.1 miles east of town. Bulk fuel tractors and tank trailers working those racks usually carry hazmat placards and their own inspection stickers, so note the trailer’s last inspection date when you write to us.
Further along the same bank, the MPLX liquid bulk terminal sits 4.5 miles east and Marathon Dock 7.1 miles east, both on lists kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor pulled liquid loads from either dock, tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays behind; we can collect a tractor on its own.
Keep the registration and the title in the same folder as any tank test certificates. Sellers around the Mt Airy terminals who hand us all three at once spare themselves a second round of questions.
Wharf and siding
Port of South Louisiana yards east of Lutcher
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, records a rail yard under the PT OF SOUTH LOUISIANA name 8.2 miles east of Lutcher. Yard tractors and day cabs that spot cars there often never leave the property, and we can collect one inside the fence once you arrange entry.
At 12.6 miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Port of South Louisiana itself. A container chassis puller or flatbed that has served the wharves can be sold from the port’s lots; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a clear photo of the door sticker first.
Port and rail work leaves a trail of gate records and terminal logs. You do not need them to sell, but if they are in the cab, leave them there and mention it, since they describe where the truck has been.
Lutcher’s payroll along the river
Of the 1,665 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Lutcher for 2023, transportation and warehousing accounted for 8.8 percent, or roughly one position in eleven tied to moving or storing goods.
For an owner-operator or a small hauler here, the truck is likely parked at home, in a driveway off the river road or behind a shop. Tell us exactly where it sits and whether a rollback can reach it, and we plan the collection around your address.
Barn lots and beans
Soybean and cattle trucks outside Lutcher
Out past the terminals, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 61 farms in St. James Parish, with soybeans and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks and livestock haulers on those farms often sit in a barn lot between seasons, which is a fine place for us to pick one up.
For a farm truck, the title may still carry an older owner’s name or a farm business name. Check that it matches the person signing before you contact us, and photograph the bed, cab and VIN together.
Less than a mile
Replacing a lost title next door in Gramercy
Lutcher titles go through the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest location, the OMV Gramercy Office at 827 N Pine Street, Suite B, Gramercy, 70052, is 0.7 miles from town. If the title is lost, a duplicate starts there or through the agency’s online services.
Bring the VIN, your photo ID and the registration to that office. Once the duplicate is in hand, sign it over only when we arrive, so the name on the paperwork stays yours until the truck leaves.
