Petroleum terminals on both sides of Timberlane
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named VENICE 2.8 miles south-west of Timberlane and another, GRETNA, 3.4 miles to the north-west. A tractor that loads at either rack and runs product around the parish is usually parked within a few miles of home, so tell us which of the two it worked and where it sits between loads.
If you still have the tank inspection sheets, the registration card and the title for a tractor that pulled from the Gretna or Venice racks, put them in one folder before you call, and we can confirm the truck from the documents instead of asking you to dig for them later.
Two liquid bulk terminals up the road toward Gretna
On the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of port terminals, IMTT - Gretna appears 3.4 miles north-west of town as a liquid bulk terminal, with New Orleans II, also liquid bulk, 3.7 miles out in the same direction. Day cabs that pull tank trailers between those tank farms and the fuel racks fit what we purchase.
If your tractor is inside a terminal gate rather than at your house, tell us whose property it is on and who can let a driver through. A name and a phone number for the gate is what turns a Gretna tank farm address into a collection we can book.
Rail yards north-west of Timberlane: Gouldsboro and an ICTF
Gouldsboro is what the North American Rail Network calls the rail yard it maps as a rail yard 4.2 miles from Timberlane toward the north-west. The North American Rail Network also records NAPOLEON AVE ICTF, an intermodal yard, 5.3 miles away to the north-west.
Tractors that pull chassis out of an intermodal yard like Napoleon Avenue are often sleepers or day cabs with a fifth wheel set for container work. Send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and pictures of the cab, frame and fifth wheel, and say which yard the truck pulled from so the photos and the story line up.
The naval air station and the West Bank installation
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans is 3.2 miles south of Timberlane by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ location for it, and the same agency places a second installation, West Bank, 5 miles north. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver to gates like these are on our list as well as tractors.
A truck that serves a base may carry a gate pass or contractor sticker. Mention it when you contact us, and remove any access credential before the truck leaves, so the hand-over at your driveway is just the keys, the title and a signature.
Jobs located in Timberlane and the parish farms
Workplaces in Timberlane counted 3,156 jobs in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A town of that size is served by local delivery and service trucks as well as the through traffic heading for the terminals, and a straight truck or pickup-based service body parked behind a shop here is one we will look at.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 20 farms in Jefferson Parish, with cattle the leading line. A stock trailer tractor or flatbed that hauls for one of those operations counts too; have the title in the name on the registration, and if the two do not match, tell us at the start so we can sort the paperwork before pickup.
The questions we get asked in Timberlane
- My tractor is parked at the IMTT tank farm in Gretna. Can the pickup happen right there on the IMTT lot?IMTT - Gretna is 3.4 miles north-west of Timberlane on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and we collect from the terminal itself. Send the terminal’s gate contact plus the row or bay holding the tractor.
- I hauled out of the Gouldsboro yard and have moved out of Jefferson Parish. Is selling from out of the parish workable?Gouldsboro sits 4.2 miles from Timberlane on the North American Rail Network, and the truck can stay near it while you handle the sale from where you live now. Leave us an address and someone who can hand over the keys.
- What should I send first for a truck that pulled from the Venice fuel rack?For a tractor that loaded at the VENICE terminal the Energy Information Administration lists 2.8 miles south-west of town, start with the VIN, the title and photos of the cab, frame and tires; the tank inspection sheets help if you have them.
