A dozen trucking outfits on Mansura’s books
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 12 active motor carriers with Mansura addresses, and five of them list general freight as cargo. A box truck or tractor from one of those small operations is usually parked at the owner’s home or shop in town, so give us that street address and we will plan collection there.
Mansura’s fleets are small: on FMCSA’s carrier census the biggest runs four power units with five drivers, and the next two each run two trucks with two drivers. If you are one of those owners selling a single unit out of a short line-up, have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of each side ready before you call.
Seven of the town’s 12 carriers operate as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than for hire, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A private-fleet straight truck or pickup-and-trailer rig belongs on our list as much as a for-hire tractor does; just tell us what the truck was used for.
Seven Mansura carriers keep to Louisiana roads, five cross state lines
By operation type, FMCSA’s carrier census splits Mansura’s carriers into seven intrastate and five interstate. An intrastate truck may never have left Louisiana plates and paperwork, which keeps the title side simple; an interstate unit may carry apportioned plates or a cab card, so keep those papers with the truck.
Driver records filed with FMCSA’s carrier census put 7 drivers inside a hundred-mile radius and 16 beyond it. A truck that works long runs may be away from Mansura when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked on the day you want it gone and we will meet it there.
Avoyelles crops and woodlots
Soybeans, rice and logs around Mansura
Around Mansura, the parish counts 868 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and rice as the leading crops. Two Mansura carriers haul grain, feed or hay under FMCSA’s carrier census, and a grain hopper or dump truck from that work is often kept at a farm yard; a gravel drive or a field edge is fine for collection if you describe the access.
Two more local carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber on FMCSA’s carrier census. Log trucks and pole trailers tend to sit at a woodlot or a home lot between jobs, so send photos of the bunks and the frame along with the cab and tell us whether a loaded tow truck can reach it.
Two carriers in town also haul refrigerated food, the FMCSA carrier census shows. If you are selling a reefer unit, note the trailer and refrigeration unit details and keep any service records for the reefer with the title.
Mansura factory shifts
Two hundred manufacturing posts beside Mansura’s wholesale docks
Manufacturing accounts for 200 of the 918 jobs tied to the area in 2023, or 21.8 percent, under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Wholesale trade adds 93 of those positions in the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures, a 10.1 percent share. Box trucks and tractors that shuttle between plants and distribution docks fall squarely in what we purchase, and a company-owned unit needs a signer named on the title.
Construction holds 53 jobs, or 5.8 percent, in the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau, and County Business Patterns lists five construction establishments. A dump truck, flatbed or service body from a small contractor can be collected from the job yard; have the registration and any inspection sticker paperwork together when we arrive.
Avoyelles Tag and Title on Acton Road handles Mansura’s duplicates
Title work in Louisiana runs through the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and its listed OMV office nearest Mansura is Avoyelles Tag and Title, LLC, at 458 Acton Road, Suite C, Marksville, 71351, about 3.6 miles from town. If the title is lost or still lists a lienholder, sort out the duplicate or the lien release there before pickup.
Bring your ID, the VIN and any lien release letter to Avoyelles Tag and Title, and ask for the duplicate in the name that matches your registration. Once you hold the corrected title, photograph both sides and send the images with your truck details.
Latanier rails, Mansura trucks
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Latanier rail yard 18.7 miles north-west of Mansura, with a second Latanier listing at 22.5 miles. A drayage tractor or flatbed that has worked between Avoyelles Parish and that yard can be picked up wherever it is parked along the route.
If your truck sits near Latanier rather than in Mansura, give us that location instead of your home address. Tell us whether a lowboy can turn around on the lot, and we will schedule the collection to suit the site.
