Stone and silica
Stone pit and silica mill haulers
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Chewelah Plant, a dimension-stone quarry, 2.1 miles south of town. A dump truck or flatbed that has worked that pit may still be parked at the quarry or at a yard close by, and we can arrange collection wherever it stands; give us the street address or gate directions when you get in touch.
Further south, Lane Mtn Silica Quarry & Mill sits 10.5 miles out, an industrial-mineral mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your tractor or tipper hauled loads from that mill, send photos of the cab, frame, tires and the VIN plate, plus any service records you kept.
Lumber, wheat, barley
Log haulers, flatbeds and farm rigs
Of the 99 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Chewelah, 42 list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, 37 list farm supplies, 34 list machinery and large objects, and 32 list general freight. Log trucks, lowboys and flatbed tractors are the equipment those listings describe, and every one of them is a truck we buy.
Stevens County holds 944 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with wheat, barley and equine operations at the top of its list. A grain truck or stock hauler sitting on a ranch outside town is fine where it is; tell us the road it is on and whether a tow rig can reach it in the yard.
Sixty-nine private fleets and their drivers
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 73 intrastate carriers here against 26 interstate ones, and 69 of the town’s operators run private fleets that move their own goods. Those owners usually keep the title and registration at the shop or the farm office, so pull both before you call and the rest goes quicker.
On driver range, the federal census records 127 drivers based here working inside a hundred-mile radius and 62 travelling beyond it. FMCSA’s carrier census shows the three leading local operations running 20, 15 and 13 power units. Whether you are parting with a single tractor or several, list each unit’s VIN, make and model year in one message.
Inspected tractors and their odometers
Chewelah-based trucks stopped for FMCSA roadside inspection between September 2024 and August 2026 numbered 47, their median model year was 2014, and 51 percent had reached ten years or more. Whatever the year on your registration, we look at the same things: the VIN, clear photos and the paperwork you hold.
Among the 23 Chewelah carriers that reported annual mileage to the federal census, the median comes to 30,000 miles per truck. Note the current odometer reading in your first message; it is one of the first details we ask for, alongside the model year.
A missing title and the Colville licensing counter
Washington titles are handled by the Washington State Department of Licensing through its vehicle and vessel licensing offices. The nearest to Chewelah is COLVILLE AUTO LICENSING, a vehicle and vessel licensing office at 441 1/2 S Main St, Colville, 99114, about 19.8 miles from town according to the Washington State Department of Licensing.
If the title has gone missing, start the replacement with that office or through the Department of Licensing’s lost-title instructions before we schedule collection. A truck still carrying a lien needs the lienholder’s release too, so find that letter while you sort out the title.
Posted crossing
Bridges, work sites and the clean-truck rules
The National Bridge Inventory records five bridges in Chewelah, one of them load-posted and none with a clearance under fourteen feet. Mention if your truck sits beyond that posted crossing so the collection route can be planned around it.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 977 jobs in town in 2023, 51 of them in construction, and County Business Patterns lists 17 construction establishments. Dump trucks and service bodies from those contractors fit our list just as well as highway tractors do.
Washington’s Department of Ecology lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus as paused. Selling a diesel tractor registered in Stevens County needs no extra emissions paperwork from you under those rules today.
