Metairie has a small list of carriers and a very large fleet in it. 149 active carriers with at least one truck are based here in FMCSA's November 2026 census. The biggest of them is why the drivers reported here work past a hundred miles two to one. After general freight the cargoes declared most are steel coil, household goods and lumber, and the building trade is the biggest trucking employer, with 370 contractors on the Census Bureau's list.
So a Metairie yard holds a flatbed under coil and lumber, and a box truck with a lift gate on the moving routes. A dump truck works the building sites and the Wood Materials sand pits to the south. A tanker fills at the Kenner blending terminal four miles west or the Marrero rack. The semi truck with a sleeper from the big fleet leaves the Mays yard and the New Orleans intermodal ramp for the interstate.
Lost title in Metairie
Louisiana's Office of Motor Vehicles does its title work in Metairie through the public tag agents. Auto Title of Louisiana at 2309 Clearview Parkway, Suite 100, and the agents along Veterans Boulevard are among them. They take a lost title and a title transfer for their own fee.
A coil flatbed out of Metairie is read through the deck, the winches and the frame. A route box truck is read through the body and the lift gate, a fleet sleeper through the drivetrain and the bunk. Photograph those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer, and tell us the lane, the route or the site it worked.
Weight limits in Metairie
Metairie's own list is 116 bridges, 16 posted for load and two under fourteen feet, the lowest at thirteen feet eight where Causeway Boulevard crosses Veterans Memorial Boulevard. A tall box truck here knows that span, and a tridem gravel hauler has read the signs on the parish roads. The weight law a Metairie truck works under is Louisiana's, with the federal table beside it, and the Louisiana page carries both.
Tell us where the truck is in Metairie, out toward Kenner, down by the Mays yard or in a yard off Veterans, and send photos and the title.
