Sell your semi truck for cash in Boulevard Park the easy and convenient way

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, puts the Van Asselt rail yard 1.3 miles east of Boulevard Park, with a second Van Asselt track listing 2.6 miles north. A drayage tractor that shuttles boxes between those tracks is usually parked within a few minutes of either one, so give us the street address of the lot and we will come to it there.

A rail intermodal ramp called Seattle, WA - South Seattle lies 2.6 miles to the south-east on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your day cab has pulled chassis off that ramp, photograph the cab, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate, and note whether the chassis goes with the sale or stays behind.

Port of Seattle - Terminal 115 (T-115) is recorded by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a roll-on/roll-off terminal 2.3 miles north-west of town. Trucks that move vehicles or rolling freight off that dock can stay where they are kept between jobs; tell us whether a gate pass or escort is needed to reach them.

That same T-115 site also appears as a rail intermodal ramp at 2.3 miles in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics files, which means one truck may have worked both the ship side and the rail side of the terminal. Keep the registration and any port access paperwork with the title so the hand-off at collection is simple.

Arcosa Specialty Materials Seattle #1890, a crushed-stone quarry 3 miles north-west, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of mine sites. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate out of it are the kind we buy; send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together so we see the whole unit.

Under 4 miles away, at 3.9 miles north-west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Seattle Plant, a cement plant. Bulk pneumatic tankers and mixers tied to that plant often carry service logs; if you have those records, scan them into the same message as the title and registration.

Fuel trucks out of Boulevard Park load 4.9 miles north-west at the Harbor Island petroleum product terminal, a site the Energy Information Administration lists. Tank tractors that load there for delivery runs are among the trucks we purchase, with or without the trailer.

When the tanker itself is part of the sale, list its capacity and the date of its last tank test, and send a photo of the data plate. Those few details let us ask focused questions about your equipment instead of general ones.

Of 2,476 jobs counted in Boulevard Park for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), 733 were in manufacturing, which is 29.6 percent. Box trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks serving plant floors fit what we collect, and a company vehicle needs whoever signs for the business on the title.

Wholesale trade held 299 jobs and transportation and warehousing 296, at 12.1 and 12 percent, in that same LODES release from the Census Bureau, while construction added 255 jobs, or 10.3 percent, on the same count. For a contractor’s dump truck or flatbed, have the title, the registration and a clear photo of the odometer ready before you call.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 1,604 farms in King County, and milk, cattle and foliage plants top its product list. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and nursery delivery trucks from those operations are welcome; tell us which farm road the truck sits on so the pickup can be planned.

Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or an older farm name. If the name on the title does not match yours, or the title is lost, ask the state’s title agency for a duplicate or transfer form before we schedule the collection.

Washington’s Clean Vehicles Program adopted California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, and its enforcement is listed as paused in the state’s published guidance. The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, Washington’s medium- and heavy-duty emission standard, carries the same paused status in that document.

An update to regulatory guidance covering Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Low NOx Omnibus is in force. None of it stops you from selling a diesel truck today; keep the engine’s emission label photo with the rest of your pictures.

• Will you collect a truck parked near the Van Asselt yard or the port’s roll-on/roll-off dock?The North American Rail Network places Van Asselt 1.3 miles east, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the port’s T-115 dock 2.3 miles north-west; we come to either spot, so send the lot address and any gate instructions.
• My truck’s title is lost somewhere in the house; who reissues it for a Boulevard Park owner?A Boulevard Park owner without a title starts with the state’s title agency, which issues duplicates; begin that request and tell us when you contact us, so we know what paperwork is still on its way.
• Do you buy aggregate and cement trucks?With the Arcosa quarry 3 miles away and the Seattle Plant at 3.9 miles on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, dump trucks, mixers and bulk tankers from those sites are trucks we purchase.
• Do Washington’s paused clean truck rules affect selling?Washington lists enforcement of Advanced Clean Trucks and the Low NOx Omnibus as paused in its guidance; add a photo of the engine’s emission label to your set so the engine family is on record.
