Heavy-Duty in Uptown, LA.
Heavy-Duty for Uptown homes, done by experienced New Orleans metro crews. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, port drayage trucks, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. Port NOLA alone sees more than 2,000 trucks a day moving cargo through the Chalmette and Violet-area terminals, and the refinery corridor at Norco and Chalmette runs its own fleet of vocational and tanker trucks.
