Five Forks Mine and the haul road up from Vienna Bend
Five Forks Mine, a coal mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 18.7 miles north of Vienna Bend. If your tractor or dump body has been hauling coal out of there, tell us which site it ran to and whether it is parked at the mine or back at your place; we collect from wherever the truck is standing.
Trucks that spend their days on a mine haul often carry site paperwork of their own: gate passes, mine inspection sheets, service logs kept by the shop. Gather what you have before you call. Photos of the frame, the body and the cab, taken in daylight at the spot where the truck sits, let us plan the pickup from Vienna Bend without guessing.
Geaux Prop gravel and the north-west route
Up the road to the north-west, 23 miles out by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, Geaux Prop runs a sand and gravel operation. Tandem dump trucks and end-dump trailers that load at a pit like that are trucks we buy, and so are the tractors that pull them.
If the truck is kept at the pit rather than in Vienna Bend, send us the gate location and the name of whoever can open it on the day. Have the title, the current registration and the VIN on hand; those three settle most of what we need to know before the truck is loaded.
Corn, soybean and cattle rigs off Vienna Bend farm lanes
Around Vienna Bend, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 468 farms across Natchitoches Parish, with corn, soybeans and cattle ranked as the leading products. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom tractors and livestock haulers that serve those fields and pastures are all trucks we will look at.
A farm truck is often parked in a barn lot or at the edge of a field rather than on a paved yard. Tell us how a rollback or a tow rig reaches it, whether the ground is firm, and whether a gate or cattle guard sits in the way. If the truck has been titled to the farm rather than to you personally, say so up front so the right person signs.
Replacing a Vienna Bend truck title at the Natchitoches OMV
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles lists Natchitoches Express Tax, Title, & License at 5906 Highway 1 Bypass, Natchitoches, 71457, one of its OMV offices and 4.8 miles from Vienna Bend. If the title for your truck has gone missing, that is the counter to ask about a duplicate before the sale.
Bring your driver’s licence, the VIN and any registration papers you still hold when you visit. The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles also explains used-vehicle title and registration on its Express Lane site; read it before the trip so you arrive with the right forms. Once a replacement title is in your hand, the truck can be signed over to us the usual way.
Readying a Vienna Bend truck for our tow rig
Write down where the truck sits today: your driveway in Vienna Bend, a field lane, a mine yard or a pit. Add how a truck reaches it and what the ground is like, so we send the right equipment.
Collect the keys, the title, the registration and any service records in one envelope. Note anything fitted to the truck that you want to keep, such as a toolbox, a radio or a hitch, and take it off before pickup so nothing leaves Vienna Bend that you meant to hold onto.
