Lower Terrebonne docks
Montegut between two ports
Terrebonne Parish Port lies about 18.1 miles west of Montegut, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of port facilities. A tractor or straight truck that shuttles to those docks often sits at a home yard in Montegut between runs, and that yard is where we would collect it. Send the street address and say whether a tow rig can turn around on the lot.
Heading the other way, Greater Lafourche Port is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at roughly 20.8 miles east of town. If the truck is parked at a dock on that side rather than at home, tell us which gate it sits behind and who can open it; we plan the pickup around those two answers.
Terminal tank work
Fuel rigs on the Fourchon road
The Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal named FOURCHON 16 some 18.7 miles east of Montegut. Tank trucks and tractors that pull fuel trailers to and from a terminal like that are among the vehicles we purchase, whether you run one unit or several.
Before you call about a fuel rig, gather the title, the current registration and any tank test or service records you kept. Photos of the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and the tank help us see the truck the way you describe it, and the VIN lets us start the rest of the questions.
Dump bodies on the Larose plant run
North-east of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Larose Grinding Plant, a mineral processing plant about 14.6 miles out. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that carry material to and from a plant of that kind fit what we take in.
If your dump truck has worked that run, note the body type, the bed length and whether the hoist is part of the sale. Pictures of the bed raised and lowered, plus the door sticker with the VIN, cover most of what we ask first.
Goat pastures and parish flatbeds
Montegut farmers are part of the 137 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted in Terrebonne Parish, where goats were the leading item listed. A flatbed, a stake truck or a livestock hauler kept on one of those places is a commercial truck we will look at.
Farm trucks often sit in a barn or a back field rather than on pavement. Tell us how close a carrier can get to it, whether the ground is soft after rain, and whose name is on the title, so we know who signs when we arrive.
Titles in this state are handled by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and its office list includes Direct Auto Insurance Agency at 933 Grand Caillou Road, Houma, 70363, one of the OMV offices and about 12.8 miles from Montegut. That is the nearest stop if your title has gone missing or still shows an old lienholder.
Bring your driver’s license, the VIN and any lien release to that Houma counter. If a duplicate is already on order from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, let us know when you first contact us; we can talk through the rest of the sale while the paper is on its way.
