Sell your semi truck for cash in Shreveport the easy and convenient way

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Calumet Specialty Products Partners liquid bulk terminal 0.1 miles south-west of the Shreveport city centre. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers in and out of that gate, tell us which trailer it ran with and whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.

Out to the north-east, 9.1 miles from town, the Energy Information Administration lists the Shreveport RP Truck Rack Terminal, a petroleum product terminal. A tractor that loads at a rack keeps hazmat paperwork and annual inspection reports; put those in one folder with the title so the Caddo Parish collection goes smoothly.

Two rail yards sit inside the city on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Hollywood, 1.1 miles south, and Harriet Street, 2.1 miles north. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from those yards are trucks we purchase, and a VIN plus a current odometer photo is the place to start.

On the river side, the General Cargo Dock at the Port of Caddo-Bossier is a roll-on/roll-off terminal 11.9 miles south-east, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If the truck is parked at the port, give us the name of whoever controls the lot so pickup can be cleared with them in advance.

Cyber Square, 5.7 miles east, and Sunny Point, 5.9 miles south-east, are both sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from pit work like this are welcome; send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 460 construction establishments in the area, while the LEHD job counts put construction at 4,086 jobs, about 4 percent of 101,118 in 2023. A contractor clearing out a dump truck or a lowboy tractor can list every unit at once and we will go through them one by one.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 782 active carriers based here: 407 run interstate, 375 stay intrastate, and 261 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group you belong to, the registration in your name and the title are what we need to see first.

General freight is listed by 510 of those carriers, with 128 hauling machinery and large objects, 124 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 108 moving metal sheets, coils and rolls, per the same FMCSA census. Tell us the trailer type the truck pulled, since a log truck and a coil hauler are set up quite differently.

New registrations climbed from 48 in 2024 to 81 in 2025 on the FMCSA carrier census. A newer operator selling a first truck should have the lien release ready if the truck was financed, and the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles handles a duplicate if the title has gone missing.

Among the carriers in FMCSA’s census, one runs 452 power units with 387 drivers, another 170 units with 120 drivers, and a third 126 units with 65 drivers. Fleet managers retiring several tractors at a time can send us one list with VINs and where each unit is parked.

Shreveport trucks stopped at roadside between August 2024 and August 2026 numbered 775 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, at a median model year of 2019 and 37 percent built ten or more years before. Whatever year yours is, the model year, engine and transmission on the first message save a round of questions.

For 189 carriers reporting it, FMCSA’s census puts the median at 25,495 miles per truck a year. Drivers here split between 1,361 working within 100 miles and 1,853 going farther, on the same census, so the truck may be parked at a terminal well away from Shreveport when you call.

Of 352 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration, 22 are load-posted and none sit under 14 feet. Tell us the exact address where the truck is parked so the pickup route can be planned around any posted crossing.

Barksdale Air Force Base lies 11.4 miles east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. If your truck is parked near the base, mention any gate or access arrangements before the collection day.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 589 farms in Caddo Parish, with cotton, corn and cattle at the top. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm tractors kept on the land can be collected straight from the farm; a working gate code or a person on site is all we ask.

• Where does a Caddo Parish owner get a replacement for a missing truck title?The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, the state’s title agency, issues duplicate titles. Start that request before the sale and tell us it is under way.
