Serving Tangipahoa Parish’s Working Truck Fleet

Hammond is the commercial hub of Tangipahoa Parish — a fast-growing area on the I-12 corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The region’s economy is driven by healthcare, higher education (Southeastern Louisiana University), distribution and logistics, construction, and agriculture including strawberry farming and dairy operations. Work trucks in Tangipahoa Parish do everything from hauling produce to running utility lines to supporting industrial facilities near the Illinois Central rail corridor.
