Refuse routes, moving vans and log loads out of Brier
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 14 active carriers based in Brier, and six of them declare garbage, refuse and trash as cargo. A packer or roll-off that has worked collection routes around Snohomish County is a truck we buy; send photos of the body and the cab, plus the VIN, so we can see the whole unit before we talk.
Household goods appear on 3 carrier registrations in the same federal census, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on another 3, with general freight on 4. If your box truck has carried furniture between Brier homes, or your log truck has run timber loads, tell us which body is fitted and whether the trailer or loader goes with it.
All 14 of those carriers are intrastate operators under FMCSA’s registration records, and 6 are private fleets moving their own goods rather than hauling for hire. A truck registered for Washington-only work still needs its title and current registration in hand when we collect, so find both before you call.
Four trucks, two trucks, one driver
The FMCSA carrier census shows fleets in town at four, two and two power units, run by three, two and one drivers. For an owner with one or two trucks, the paperwork is short: title, registration, the keys, and any service records you have kept in the cab or at home.
Thirteen drivers registered in Brier work within 100 miles of base and nine go beyond it, by FMCSA’s census figures. Whichever radius your truck has kept, it is usually parked at a driveway, a shop lot or a job site in the county when we come for it, so give us the address and a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.
Selling a truck you share with a partner, or one titled to a small company, means every name on the title needs to sign. Sort out signatures first, and if the title has gone missing, ask the state’s title agency for a duplicate before we schedule the collection.
From Balmer Yard to the Seattle ramps and Everett docks
Balmer Yard sits 11.3 miles south-west of Brier on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that has shuttled loads to and from that yard can be picked up where it stands; tell us the lot and who controls access.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Everett, 12.7 miles north, as a strategic seaport, and places the Terminal 30 and Seattle International Gateway intermodal ramps 14.6 and 15.1 miles south. Day cabs that have pulled containers between those ramps and Everett’s docks are welcome; the VIN and an odometer photo let us start.
Energy Information Administration listings put the Shell Seattle Terminal and a second Seattle petroleum product terminal about 15 miles south of town. If your fuel tanker loaded at either rack, include the tank’s placard and any inspection sheets with your photos.
High Rock Quarry and construction work
East of Brier by 14 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records crushed stone coming out of Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry. Dump trucks and end dumps that have hauled stone from there can be collected at the quarry gate or wherever you keep them, once you tell us which.
Construction accounts for 90 of Brier’s 420 jobs, or 21.4 percent, in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts for the town. A contractor clearing out a dump truck, a flatbed or a mixer from a finished job can send us the unit’s photos and paperwork while it still sits on site.
Dairy barns, cornfields and the Ecology rules
Around Brier, Snohomish County holds 1,418 farms, and milk leads cattle and corn among their products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Milk tankers, cattle haulers and grain trucks from those farms are part of what we take, collected from the barnyard or the field edge.
For a Brier owner with a diesel tractor, Ecology’s published guidance shows the state has paused enforcing both Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, with its revised guidance on them now in force. Selling a diesel truck in Brier needs no extra emissions paperwork from you beyond the title and registration.
The questions we get asked in Brier
- My packer sits in an Everett yard; does it have to come home to Brier first?Everett lies 12.7 miles north of Brier on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ seaport listing, and we collect from there or anywhere else the truck sits. Pass along the Everett yard’s street address and the name of whoever unlocks it.
- Our private fleet has two trucks; is selling only one of the pair possible?Six of Brier’s 14 FMCSA-registered carriers are private fleets, and selling one unit from a pair is routine. Bring that truck’s own title and registration; the other stays on your books.
- What if my log truck’s title is lost?Three Brier carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber in FMCSA’s carrier census, and any of them can request a duplicate title from the state’s title agency. Start that request first, then send us photos and the VIN.
