Louisiana Property Assistance Agency's (LPAA) truck drivers. laborers, contracted warehouse staff, and other warehouse workers may be regularly required to travel to locations located statewide to pick up surplus assets from state agencies that no longer need the property. The employees discussed above may be required to work longer than eight (8) hours per day, particularly when working in locations other than LPAA's Headquarters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Much work is manual even though our employees use forklifts, dollies, and pallet jacks to assist their efforts. After loading and tagging surplus property, warehouse staff arranges and displays property to sell to qualifying entities. Once sold, LPAA staff assists customers with the loading of their acquisitions.
