Aggregate hauling from the Verot Pit and Legacy Aggregates
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the LA 82 / Verot Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 6.1 miles south-east of Maurice. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from a pit like that tend to be parked near the job, so tell us whether yours sits at the pit, at a yard or at your house, and we will plan the collection around that spot.
Another sand and gravel site, Legacy Aggregates LLC, is 10.8 miles east of town according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck has hauled aggregate out of either site, have the title in hand and a few clear photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, so the questions you get back are about your own truck.
Further out, the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 20.3 miles to the south-east. A truck that runs between these three sites does not need to be brought into Maurice to be sold; give us the address where it stands.
Rig and terminal freight
Oil and gas jobs and the Anse La Butte terminal
Close to one job in five around Maurice, 19.5 percent of 805 in 2023, is in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Winch trucks, flatbeds and tractors that move rig equipment come out of that kind of work, so gather the service records from those jobs before you call.
The Energy Information Administration places the Anse La Butte Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, 15.2 miles north-east of town. If your tractor has pulled product out of a terminal like that one, tell us which loads it carried and keep any inspection reports with the title.
Of the active carriers based here, 9 haul oilfield equipment, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck carried that kind of freight, list the equipment it moved when you first contact us.
Owner-operators and one larger outfit in Maurice
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 28 active carriers in Maurice, and general freight is the cargo 21 of them list. That mix of box trucks, vans and tractors is the kind of equipment we buy, from a single owner-operator up to a full yard.
Fifteen of those carriers stay inside Louisiana and 13 cross state lines, with 11 running as private fleets, on the same FMCSA census figures. An intrastate truck usually carries Louisiana registration only, so have that registration ready with the title.
The biggest operation listed here runs 26 power units with 25 drivers, FMCSA’s carrier census shows, while the next two run four and three units. Whether you are selling one truck or several, send the VIN of each and where each one is parked.
Fresh authority keeps arriving too: FMCSA’s carrier census records 4 new carriers in 2024 and 3 in 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now selling, the title and the registration are still the two papers that matter.
Rice and cattle country
Farm trucks on the prairie around town
Around Maurice, the parish’s 1,113 farms grow rice and raise cattle and horses, on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture for Vermilion Parish. Grain trucks and cattle haulers from those farms often sit in a barn or a field between seasons, which is fine; we collect from wherever the truck is.
Five Maurice carriers list grain, feed and hay as cargo and five list machinery and large objects, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck moved rice to a mill or equipment between fields, tell us so, and have the title and any registration ready.
Yards and contractors
Lafayette’s yard to the north-east, New Iberia’s to the south-east
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Lafayette rail yard 9.9 miles north-east of Maurice and the New Iberia yard 18.4 miles south-east. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from those yards are trucks we take, and a short list of where yours has worked helps us plan.
Construction work makes up 6.2 percent of the jobs near Maurice in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns lists 25 construction establishments in the parish. Contractors selling a dump truck, a flatbed or a service body can send photos and the title before we set a pickup.
Where a Maurice seller replaces a missing title
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles handles titles, and its list of OMV offices includes Morvant Title and Notary LLC at 2807 Kaliste Saloom Rd Ste 102, Lafayette, 70508, about 5.3 miles from Maurice. If the title to your truck is lost, start there before you sell.
When the replacement title is in your name, send it along with the registration and photos of the truck. A truck with a lien still on it needs the lien release too, and the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles can tell you what form that takes.
