Up the quarry road
High Rock Quarry and the gravel haul out of Cathcart
East of Cathcart by 6.6 miles, Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry crushes stone, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Tandem dump trucks, end dumps and belly-dump tractors that load at a quarry like that are the kind we buy, and if yours is parked near the pit gate rather than at home, give us that location so we collect it where it sits.
Farther out, two sand and gravel operations appear in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records: Getchell Pit, 15.8 miles north, and Menzel Lake Gravel, 16.7 miles north-east. For a truck that has hauled aggregate from either, send photos of the box or bed, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN and tell us the body length and axle count as well.
Cathcart tractors at the Everett docks and Delta
Ten miles north-west, Everett appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of strategic seaports, at 10.2 miles from town. Day cabs that pull chassis or flatbeds to the waterfront there can be sold from wherever they are based; tell us whether the tractor stays in a yard near the docks or comes home to Cathcart each night.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Delta yard 11 miles north-west, close to the Everett waterfront. If your truck shuttles freight to that yard, have the registration and the cab card handy when you contact us, and say whether a trailer is coupled to it.
Ramps and bases
Intermodal ramps and the Marysville base
For container work, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Terminal 30 (T-30), a rail intermodal ramp 21.4 miles south-west of Cathcart. A drayage tractor that runs that ramp still gets collected from your address up here; share where it is kept and whether the lot has room for a tow or a lowboy to turn.
Nineteen miles north, Marysville appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a military installation. Trucks that have delivered to sites like it often carry gate passes or delivery logs; keep those with the title, since they help us confirm the truck’s working history.
Builders’ rigs and route trucks from Cathcart employers
Cathcart’s construction employers filled 169 positions in 2023, nearly a quarter of the 680 jobs in town on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies fit our buying list, and a builder retiring one should have the title and any registration renewal notices together before calling.
Wholesale trade held 58 of those positions, an 8.5 percent share in the same LEHD figures. Box trucks and straight trucks from a distribution route qualify too; photos of the cargo body, the liftgate if fitted and the odometer reading give us what we need to start.
Milk, cattle and corn in the valleys below
Around Cathcart, Snohomish County reported 1,418 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn as its leading products. Bulk milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks from those operations are trucks we purchase, and a farm truck can be collected from the barnyard or field lane it works from.
A tanker or stock truck registered to a Snohomish dairy still sells on a title carrying the owner’s name. If the registration was done through a farm business, tell us whose name is on the title so the paperwork matches at pickup.
Barb’s old licensing counter in Snohomish
The Washington State Department of Licensing handles vehicle titles, and its nearest office to Cathcart is SNOHOMISH AUTO LICENSING - Formerly "Barb’s Auto Licensing", one of the department’s vehicle and vessel licensing offices, at 510 2nd St Ste C, Snohomish, 98290, about 4.2 miles from town. If the title has gone missing, that office is where you apply for a replacement before the sale.
Bring photo ID and the VIN when you go. If a lender’s lien is still recorded, ask the lender for a release first, because the Department of Licensing needs it before a clean title can be issued.
Ecology notices
Washington’s clean truck standards on hold
Washington adopted California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation through its Clean Vehicles Program, and the Department of Ecology’s guidance says enforcement of it is paused. The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, covering medium- and heavy-duty engine standards, is likewise on hold, per the same Ecology publication.
For a Cathcart owner, those pauses mean no new state paperwork is attached to selling a diesel truck today. The Ecology update to its regulatory guidance for these rules is in force, and Cathcart owners can read it on the Department of Ecology’s site.
