East bank docks

Liquid bulk and petroleum terminals south-west and north-west of Violet

Stolt-Nielsen’s liquid bulk terminal lies 3.6 miles south-west of Violet in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing of terminals. A tractor that has shuttled to that dock is often still parked near the river when its owner decides to sell, so give us the street address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

Two petroleum product terminals, MERAUX to the north-west and NEW ORLEANS to the south-west, each stand 3.8 miles out on the Energy Information Administration’s list. If your truck pulled product from either one, send photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, plus the plate and VIN, so the first call covers the truck itself.

Further up the road, PBF Chalmette Refinery appears as a liquid bulk terminal 5.5 miles north-west, again according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Keep site passes, inspection reports and service records from refinery work together with the title; they show us where the tractor has been without a second visit.

Chalmette and Claiborne yards, and two military installations

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the CHALMETTE rail yard 7.2 miles north-west and the CLAIBORNE yard 9.6 miles in the same direction. A day cab that has worked those yards can be collected where it stands; tell us whether a lowboy or a tow can reach it.

NG Jackson Bks is 8.1 miles north-west and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans is 8.9 miles south-west, both named by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. If your truck sits behind a controlled gate at either, arrange an escort or move it to a public lot before the pickup date, and let us know which you chose.

Violet’s registered trucking operators and their freight

Twenty-four carriers with a Violet address are active in FMCSA’s carrier census. FMCSA’s carrier census also shows 17 of them running intrastate only and 7 crossing state lines; whichever group your truck belongs to, have the current registration card ready alongside the title.

On FMCSA’s carrier census, 14 of those operators list general freight, and 5 each list dry bulk, lumber and logs, or steel sheet and coil. Flatbed tractors and hopper units from Violet are on our list just as dry vans are.

Five of the active Violet operators are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA. If the truck is titled to a business rather than to you, the person who signs the title needs authority to sign for that business, so bring the paperwork that shows it.

Three-truck outfits and drivers who leave the parish

The biggest Violet fleet on FMCSA’s carrier census runs 3 power units with 4 drivers; the next two have 2 trucks each. With fleets this small, the owner is usually the driver too, which makes one phone call enough to describe the truck, its location and its title.

On the same federal census, 12 driver records here stay within a 100-mile radius and 18 go beyond it. A long-haul tractor may be parked out of state when you contact us; tell us the city it is in and we arrange collection there rather than asking you to bring it home.

New authorities keep appearing here: the federal census logs 4 Violet carriers starting in 2024 and 1 more in 2025. A truck bought for a new authority still needs a clear title in the seller’s name, so if the lien from that purchase is open, have the lender’s contact details ready.

Construction sites and farms in St. Bernard Parish

Six construction establishments carry a Violet address in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks and flatbeds from contractor yards are welcome; send a photo of the body or bed with the cab, and note the equipment fitted to it.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture finds 50 farms in St. Bernard Parish, with cattle, honey and rabbits at the top of the list. A farm truck kept on a rural property can be collected from the field gate, provided the title and a set of keys are there on the day.

The questions we get asked in Violet

  • My tractor pulled loads out of MERAUX near Violet; must I deliver it somewhere for collection?MERAUX is 3.8 miles north-west of Violet per the Energy Information Administration, and we collect from there or from your yard; just send the address and a gate contact.
  • I can’t find the Louisiana title for my Violet truck; which office issues a duplicate?Violet trucks are titled in Louisiana, so the state’s title agency issues the duplicate; start that request before the pickup and tell us it is underway.
  • Do you buy coil and lumber haulers from St. Bernard Parish?Five Violet carriers declare metal coils and five declare lumber to FMCSA, and both kinds of tractor and trailer are on our list; send the VIN and photos to begin.
