The Leesville rail yard on New Llano’s doorstep
Just 1.6 miles north of New Llano, a Leesville rail yard shows up on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Whether your tractor or straight truck works that yard or not, tell us if it sits at a home address, a shop lot or a yard gate when you get in touch.
If the truck is parked near the tracks, a street address or a pin dropped on a map is enough for us to plan the collection. Send a photo of the door sticker with the VIN and one of the dash showing the odometer, and keep the registration in the cab so it travels with the truck.
Southbound to DeRidder
A second yard on the southbound road
Further south, DERIDDER is listed on the North American Rail Network as a rail yard 18.5 miles from New Llano. Owners whose day cabs split their week between the two yards can sell from wherever the truck happens to be parked, whether that is in town or down near DeRidder.
Say which of the two yards the truck has served and how it is set up, with a fifth wheel, a dump body or a flatbed. Include photos of each side, the cab interior and the plate with that description.
East on the base road
Hauling around Fort Johnson
Fort Johnson, a military installation, lies 9.5 miles east of New Llano according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that deliver to the installation or to the contractors around it are welcome here, from box trucks to tractors with flatbeds.
If your truck is kept on or beside the post, let us know about any gate pass or access rules before we schedule the collection, so the driver arrives with what the gate asks for. Gather any service records and inspection reports you hold into one folder now.
Emerald Rock, Eaves Loop and the gravel trucks
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Plant 1343-Emerald Rock/Cooper, a sand and gravel operation, at 16.5 miles south-west of New Llano, and Plant 1328-Eaves Loop at 23.5 miles in the same direction. Dump trucks, end dumps and tractors that pull aggregate trailers out of pits like these are trucks we buy.
A truck parked at a pit can be collected there; give us the plant name and the gate the driver should use. Photos of the bed, the hoist and the axles, along with the title, tell us what we need about a gravel hauler from this side of the parish.
Stock trailers and hay
Livestock and hay haulers across the parish
Cattle lead the livestock list for Vernon Parish in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of horses and sheep, across 429 farms that ring New Llano. Stock trailers, flatbeds for hay and farm-plated straight trucks around town fit what we purchase, whether they sit in a pasture or a barn.
If the truck carries farm plates, keep that registration with the title, and tell us the gate or field road the driver should take to reach it. For working ranches, a photo of where it is parked helps us bring the right equipment.
One Stop Auto Title in Leesville
For a lost certificate of title, the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles lists One Stop Auto Title & Notary, LLC among its OMV offices, at 1100 South 3rd Street Suite A, Leesville, 71446, about 1.9 miles from New Llano. A replacement there is a short trip up the road before you sell.
Bring a photo ID and the VIN when you go, and if a lender ever held the truck, ask for the lien release so the new title comes back clear. Once the title is in your name and in hand, the rest of the sale is a matter of signing it over at collection.
Employers in a small town
New Llano itself held 336 jobs in 2023, a modest tally from the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for a town just below Leesville. Plenty of owners here keep a single truck in their own driveway rather than a company lot, and a residential street is a fine place for us to collect from.
Tell us if the truck is behind a fence or blocked in by other vehicles, and have the keys and the title together for the driver. A one-truck owner can sell with nothing more than those, the registration and a few clear photos.
