Terral would like to congratulate Allen Hartshorn on his designation as Certified Safety Professional (CSP). Allen has been working toward his certification since 2001, and we are proud to have him as a member of our Safety Team.

Terral is proud to welcome Teddy Twigg to our growing team as an Aggregate Salesman. He will be marketing to industrial users along the Gulf Coast. Teddy is a member of the Concrete Aggregate Association of Louisiana, and he has served on its board for six years. He is also a past president of the Ascension Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana (CCA Louisiana). Teddy has 12 years’ experience in the aggregate business, and he will be valuable to Terral and our customers.

Terral RiverService continues to expand our operations from our Old River Fleet to points along the West Canal via the Atchafalaya River.

We service many customers through the Atchafalaya, moving aggregate to Lake Charles, LA and frac sand to Corpus Christi, TX. It has been a priority to develop our capabilities along this route, as it provides cost-effective movement for all commodities going west on the ICW. Our shipments bypass New Orleans traffic, providing faster service and better prices.
