Liquid bulk and petroleum storage southwest of town
Down the bayou road, Shell runs a liquid bulk terminal that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates 9.1 miles south-west of Schriever’s center. A tractor that has run tank work out to that terminal can be collected where it parks between loads; give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Some 16.5 miles west, the AMELIA petroleum product terminal appears in Energy Information Administration listings. If your rig moved product between Amelia and the Terrebonne side, gather its registration and any terminal access records before you call, so we can match the cab to the paperwork in one conversation.
Oilfield equipment and oversized machinery haulers
Of the 14 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists for Schriever, seven declare oilfield equipment as cargo and six declare machinery and large objects. Owners of lowboys, winch tractors and heavy-haul units in that group should photograph the deck, the winch and the data plate along with the VIN.
Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction account for 51 jobs located here, or 3.4 percent of the 1,509 counted in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Trucks tied to those jobs often sit at a well service yard rather than at home, and we can arrange collection at that yard if you tell us who to contact on site.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Baramin US, LLC, a mineral processing plant 22.5 miles west of Schriever. Haulers who have served that plant can keep any site safety cards or gate passes with the truck file; they help us confirm where the tractor has been working.
Small fleets, private haulers and short routes
Eight of Schriever’s carriers run intrastate only and six cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which also counts eight private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a single unit should have the company title, a board or owner signature, and the current Louisiana registration on hand.
Fleet sizes stay modest: FMCSA’s records show the three biggest local operations at 11, 7 and 6 power units, with 5, 6 and 10 drivers respectively. If you are thinning one of those yards by two or three tractors, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we will plan one visit around the lot.
Schriever carriers report 22 drivers who stay inside 100 miles and 19 who range farther, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For the five carriers reporting mileage, the median sits at 12,500 miles per truck in FMCSA’s census, a neutral figure to note on the odometer line when you describe your unit.
Construction and plants
Dump trucks and flatbeds for parish builders
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 12 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD job counts put 155 construction jobs here in 2023, 10.3 percent of the local total. Dump trucks, flatbeds and material haulers from those builders can be listed with the body type, the axle setup and a photo of the bed.
Manufacturing holds 241 jobs, or 16 percent, in that same 2023 Census Bureau LEHD tally. Box trucks and straight trucks moving parts between plants qualify too; have the title in the business name that appears on the registration.
Farm supply trucks in Terrebonne Parish
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 137 farms in Terrebonne Parish, with goats listed as the leading livestock. Four Schriever carriers name farm supplies as cargo on their FMCSA filings, and a feed or livestock truck from that work can be picked up at the farm itself.
General freight is the most common declaration locally, carried by nine of the 14 carriers in the FMCSA carrier census. Whatever the load was, send us the title, the registration and clear daylight photos of all four sides, and if the title has gone missing, start a duplicate request with Louisiana’s title office before we schedule collection.
New USDOT numbers in Schriever
FMCSA’s carrier census shows one new carrier registering in Schriever in 2025 and none in 2024. A newer operator selling a first truck should keep the USDOT paperwork and the purchase title together so ownership is simple to trace.
If your authority is still active and you are stepping away from trucking, tell us whether the truck is the only power unit on the account. That way the bill of sale, the plate return and the title transfer can all be lined up on the same visit to Schriever.
