Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running Trucks
Whether your truck is in prime condition or barely makes it down the block, we accept both. Don’t let mechanical issues discourage you from donating!
Title Issues
If your truck has title issues, don’t stress! We can help you navigate the complexities and paperwork needed. Let us take care of it.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We understand that not every truck is parked conveniently. Our team is experienced in handling pickups from various locations across New Orleans, ensuring a smooth process.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Louisiana, the DMV has specific requirements for transferring truck titles. You’ll need to fill out the appropriate forms, which we can provide, and some transfers may require notarization. Don’t forget to return any old license plates as part of the process. Worry not; we’ll guide you through every step to ensure a smooth transition and full compliance with local regulations.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your generous truck donation could qualify for a tax deduction, typically in the range of $500 to $5,000, depending on the vehicle's value. We will issue you a 1098-C form to help you claim your deduction when tax season rolls around. It’s a meaningful contribution that could also benefit your tax situation!
Local context — New Orleans
In New Orleans, trucks come from all walks of life. Whether it’s a local contractor downsizing after a job has wrapped up or a family moving to a new neighborhood, the reasons are diverse. Many residents face life changes that prompt them to part with their trucks — divorce, relocation, or simply needing to upgrade to something more suitable.
Our rich culture of community support drives donations, as locals understand the importance of giving back. Your truck can become a lifeline for someone in need, helping those who may not have access to reliable transportation in a city where getting around can be challenging.
