If your dump truck, flatbed or mixer has spent its working life on job sites out of this corner of Snohomish County, tell us which kind of body it carries and what it hauled, and send pictures of the bed, the hoist or the drum as well as the cab.
With construction holding just over half of those 223-of-425 jobs in the LEHD figures, a lot of local equipment sits on contractor lots rather than in home driveways. Give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we can arrange the collection around the crew’s schedule instead of yours.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Getchell Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 8.5 miles north-east of Bunk Foss, with Menzel Lake Gravel a further stretch out at 10.2 miles in the same direction. A tri-axle or a truck and pup that has run aggregate from either one can stay parked near the pit road; send the location and we plan the pickup there.
South-east of town, Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry 11.5 miles away. For a rock truck that has hauled from High Rock, have the title in hand, the current registration, and any scale tickets or service logs you kept, since those tell us what the truck carried and how often.
The Everett waterfront and Delta Yard
Everett, 6.3 miles west of Bunk Foss, is named a strategic seaport by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs and chassis haulers that shuttle between the docks and inland yards are on our list; send the VIN, the odometer reading and the axle setup with your first message.
Delta Yard, 5.1 miles north-west, shows up in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor has been dropping and picking up loads at that rail yard, a photo of each side of the truck plus the door sticker with the VIN is enough to start the conversation.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 1,418 farms across Snohomish County, with milk, cattle and corn as the leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks that served those operations are trucks we buy, and they can be collected from the barnyard or field lane where they sit.
For a farm truck, the paperwork that matters is the title in the seller’s name and the registration; if the truck was plated as a farm vehicle, say so up front. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement; file that request early and let us know once it is under way.
According to Washington’s published clean-vehicle guidance, enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule as adopted in the state’s Clean Vehicles Program is paused, and so is enforcement of the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standard for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. That guidance update itself is in force. If you have questions about how those rules touch a truck you own, that state publication is the place to read them in full.
Mention the engine model year when you write to us, since the emission label on the engine lists it and it helps us identify the truck.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics marks a military installation at Marysville, 11.7 miles north-west, and another at Jim Creek, 18.2 miles north-east. Trucks that have serviced either site under contract are welcome; tell us whether the truck sits inside a gate, and we will sort out base access with you ahead of the visit.
If the truck is parked off-base in Marysville or along the road toward Jim Creek, an address and a phone number for whoever is on site are all the collection needs.
