Pits north-east of Perry
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the LA 82 / Verot Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 10.2 miles north-east of Perry and Legacy Aggregates LLC 14.6 miles out in that same direction. A tandem dump hauling sand from Verot, or an end-dump rig loading at Legacy Aggregates, is the kind of Vermilion Parish truck we take on. If yours works one of them, tell us which pit and where it is kept, so we know where to send a driver.
A tractor that pulls aggregate trailers often has a trailer to go with it. Say whether you are selling the tractor alone or the pair, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the hitch along with the cab. Have the title and the registration card for each unit together before we come out to the pit.
Salt, minerals and the New Iberia rail yard
East of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the New Iberia Plant, a mineral processing plant, at 19 miles, and the Weeks Island Mine and Mill, an industrial-mineral mine, 22.9 miles to the south-east. Trucks that haul product out of those gates carry plant gate passes and site safety records; keep whatever of that paperwork you still have with the truck when you list it with us.
Perry’s nearest rail yard, NEW IBERIA, sits 18.5 miles due east, per the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ North American Rail Network. A day cab that shuttles loads between the plant and the rail yard can be collected from either lot. Give us the address of the yard where it sits and the name of someone who can let our driver in.
Fuel runs to Anse La Butte, rail at Lafayette
Lafayette’s rail yard lies 20.4 miles north of town on the North American Rail Network, and the Energy Information Administration lists the ANSE LA BUTTE TERMINAL LA, a petroleum product terminal, 24.7 miles to the north-east. Tank trucks and tractors pulling fuel trailers work runs like those, and we buy both.
For a fuel or tank unit, tell us what the tank last carried and send its inspection or test paperwork if you have it. A sleeper or day cab that has moved on from Perry to Lafayette does not need to come back south; we pick it up where it is parked.
A workforce built on hauling and building
Of the 239 jobs counted in Perry for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), transportation and warehousing account for 69, a 28.9 percent share. Owner-operators and small fleets based in town are exactly who we deal with, and selling a single tractor works the same way as selling several.
Construction and wholesale trade each hold 50 jobs, or 20.9 percent apiece, in that same LEHD release. Box trucks from a wholesale route, dump trucks and flatbeds from a building crew: before you call, have the VIN, the odometer reading and a set of clear photos ready, and the rest of the conversation follows from those.
Rice, cattle and horses across the parish
Around Perry the farmland runs to rice, cattle and horses, the top three listed for Vermilion Parish’s 1,113 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks at harvest, cattle haulers and stock trailers all fit what we purchase.
A farm truck may sit in a shed or out at the edge of a field for much of the year. That is fine: tell us the road it is on and whether a tow truck can reach it in wet weather, and put the title in the name of whoever is selling before the day we come.
Jacqulyn Street, Abbeville
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles lists Vermilion Title & Notary Services LLC, at 320 Jacqulyn Street, Abbeville, 70510, among its OMV offices, 0.9 miles from town. If the title is lost or still shows an old lender, that office is the nearest place to start a duplicate or a lien release.
Bring your driver’s licence, the VIN and the current registration when you go. Start the duplicate request when you first contact us, and tell us it is under way; a truck can be inspected and photographed while the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles finishes the title paperwork.
