Log trucks, lowboys and grain haulers in Lewiston

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 248 active carriers based in Lewiston, and 64 of them name logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo. If yours is a log truck or a lumber flatbed, send photos that show the bunks, stakes or trailer setup along with the cab, so we know exactly which rig we are collecting.

Machinery and large objects appear on the filings of 61 Lewiston carriers in that same federal census, with general freight on 81 and grain, feed and hay on 41. A tractor that has pulled a lowboy or a hopper usually changes hands with its trailer details settled first, so tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.

In FMCSA’s carrier census, 177 of those 248 carriers are private operations moving freight for their own business. A truck owned by a business rather than a person needs the title in the company’s name and someone able to sign for it; have that person’s name ready when you first contact us.

Local radius and interstate miles out of Nez Perce County

Interstate authority is held by 162 Lewiston carriers and intrastate-only operation by 86, the FMCSA census shows. An interstate tractor may be parked out of state when you decide to sell, so give us the address where it sits today, not the address on the registration.

The same census counts 811 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 513 working beyond that radius. Many local trucks come home each night to a yard or a driveway in town; tell us whether ours will be inside a locked gate and who holds the key on collection day.

Across 101 carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA filings put the median at 7,538 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading on the dash before you call, and put it beside the VIN in your first message.

The age of trucks stopped on local roads

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 301 trucks from Lewiston carriers checked between August 29, 2024 and August 20, 2026, with a median model year of 2017. Whatever year yours is, the title and registration are what we need to see first.

Ten or more model years separate 38.5 percent of those inspected Lewiston trucks from today, by the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. We buy across that whole range, so an older title is welcome; if you kept inspection reports or service records, scan them alongside the title.

Rail yards and gravel pits near Lewiston

The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the LEWISTON rail yard 1.8 miles north of town and the FOREBAY yard 2.8 miles north-east. If your truck runs drayage or transload work at either yard and is parked near the tracks, give us the gate or lot name so the pickup is arranged with whoever controls access.

Duthie Pit, a sand and gravel operation 2 miles north-west, and Plant #2, another 2.9 miles west, are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and end dumps working those pits can be collected at the pit itself once the operator agrees; ask the site office about entry before you set a day with us.

Further out, North Idaho Crushing Inc Plant #1 is a crushed-stone quarry 22.2 miles north-east, according to MSHA. A quarry truck can stay at the site for collection, and photos of the bed and frame from that yard help us plan the trailer we bring.

Mills, building sites and wheat fields

Manufacturing accounts for 2,941 of Lewiston’s 18,472 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with construction at 796 and transportation and warehousing at 594. Box trucks and tractors that serve plants keep their paperwork with the business, so ask the office for the title before you list the truck with us.

Lewiston’s building trade runs through 138 construction establishments, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck or flatbed belonging to a contractor can be collected straight from the job yard; tell us whether it sits on a public street or behind a fence.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 415 farms in Nez Perce County, with wheat, barley and hogs at the top of the list. A farm grain truck often carries a farm plate rather than a commercial one, so check which registration yours has and bring that card with the title.

Clearances on the way into town

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration lists 13 bridges in Lewiston, one of them load-posted. Tell us where the truck is parked and we will route the collection around that posting.

None of those 13 structures is under 14 feet, by the same Federal Highway Administration inventory. A high cab or loaded rack can come out of town without a detour for height, so the only thing we need from you is the parking spot and how to reach it.
