Fuel tractors serving the Marrero and Kenner terminals
The Energy Information Administration places the Marrero petroleum product terminal half a mile north-east of River Ridge. A tractor that pulls fuel tankers out of a terminal that close is likely parked on a nearby lot or at the driver’s house, so tell us which one and we arrange the collection there.
Kenner Blending Terminal, another petroleum product site on the Energy Information Administration’s list, lies 2.5 miles north-west. If your truck loaded at Kenner, keep its title, current registration and any terminal inspection sheets together in the cab; those papers cover most of what we ask about a tank tractor.
Tanker owners who ran between both terminals can send one set of photos: the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate. Email them along with the address in Jefferson Parish where the tractor is parked.
Aggregate haulers off the two Wood Materials sites near Harahan
Wood Materials runs a sand and gravel operation 1.2 miles south-west of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Wood Materials - Harahan, a second site in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, sits 2.5 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate off those two pits fit squarely in what we purchase.
If your dump truck still sits at a pit gate or a contractor’s yard near Harahan, give us the address and the name of whoever can let us in. Pass along any service logs you kept while it hauled gravel; they show the truck’s history in its own records.
Drayage off two New Orleans ramps, Mays and Avondale (BNSF)
Two New Orleans rail intermodal ramps appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records near River Ridge, one 1.6 miles north-east and the other 3 miles south. Day cabs that drayed boxes off either ramp are trucks we buy, and a VIN plus the odometer reading is the best way to open the conversation.
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Mays rail yard is 1.9 miles north-east of town and Avondale (BNSF) is 3.1 miles south-east. If your tractor shuttled trailers to those yards and is now parked beside one, tell us the gate and a contact so pickup can be scheduled on site.
A container chassis or a sleeper that ran longer lanes out of these yards is just as welcome. Mention which yard it worked so we ask the right questions first.
Contractor and wholesale trucks based in River Ridge
Census Bureau LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023 show 1,791 jobs located in River Ridge. Of those, 76 were in construction, a 4.2 percent share by the same Census Bureau count. Contractors who own a flatbed, a dump body or a stake truck from that work can sell it straight from the job yard.
Wholesale trade held 58 of the town’s jobs, or 3.2 percent, in that 2023 LEHD release. Box trucks and straight trucks that handled wholesale deliveries are ones we purchase, and a clean set of photos with the registration card lets us look at yours without a site visit.
Cattle hauling across Jefferson Parish
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 20 farms in Jefferson Parish, with cattle listed as the top product. A livestock hauler or a farm pickup with a flatbed from one of those operations is a truck we buy, wherever on the parish it is kept.
Send us a photo of the registration with the title, whatever kind of plate the truck carries. If the truck stays out at a pasture or barn, tell us whether a tractor-trailer can reach it on the access road.
Title, VIN and photos for a River Ridge pickup
The title in your name is the first thing we need, along with the current registration and the VIN. If the title is missing, say so when you first contact us so we can talk through replacing it before the collection date.
Photos of each side of the cab, the frame, the tires and the dash are enough to start. If the truck sits at a terminal, a pit or a rail yard, include the name of that site from the list above so we know who controls the gate.
The questions we get asked in River Ridge
- Does a tanker parked beside the Marrero terminal have to be driven somewhere else first?Marrero sits half a mile north-east of River Ridge on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list, and we come to the truck there. Name the owner of the Marrero-side lot and we set the collection up with that owner.
- Do you buy dump trucks that hauled gravel from the Harahan pit?Wood Materials - Harahan is a sand and gravel operation 2.5 miles south-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, and the dump trucks that hauled from it are trucks we purchase. Photos of the dump body and the VIN plate get the River Ridge conversation going.
- Will you pick up a day cab still sitting at the Avondale (BNSF) yard?Avondale (BNSF) is 3.1 miles south-east of River Ridge on the North American Rail Network, and a tractor parked beside it can be collected where it stands. Give us the gate and a contact who can let us in.
