Gravel and stone on the roads around Coupeville
Greenbank, Inc., a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 5.9 miles south-east of Coupeville, and the same agency places Island County RM, another sand and gravel site, 10 miles to the north-east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that shuttle between pits like these are trucks we buy. If yours is parked at a pit gate, tell us the site name so the collection can be arranged with whoever runs the yard.
East of town, Rock Plant is a crushed-stone quarry 10.1 miles out, and Pacific Quarry sits 20.8 miles north-east, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A truck that has hauled stone from either site can stay where it is. Send us photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate, plus the registration, and we plan the pickup around the quarry’s hours.
Construction work shows up in the county too: County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 41 construction establishments in Island County. If your truck is a contractor’s dump, mixer or flatbed, keep its service records together with the title so they travel with the sale.
Private fleets working close to Coupeville
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 39 active motor carriers based in Coupeville; 38 of them run intrastate only, one crosses state lines, and 34 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Most trucks here belong to a business that uses them for its own work, so the seller is often the owner-operator or the firm itself. Have the business name on the title match the person signing, or bring the paperwork that shows who can sign for the company.
FMCSA’s carrier census puts 81 local drivers within 100 air miles of base and 32 beyond that radius. Coupeville’s six mileage-reporting carriers log a median of 7,643 miles per truck a year in FMCSA’s census. Write down the odometer reading when you contact us; with the VIN, it is the first thing we ask.
At the top of the town’s FMCSA listings, one fleet holds 20 power units for 13 drivers, the next 14 for 8, and a third 6 tractors with a single driver. If you are selling more than one tractor or straight truck from a fleet that size, list each VIN separately and say where each one is parked around Coupeville.
Machinery and refuse loads
Machinery, refuse and feed loads out of town
Twelve Coupeville carriers declare machinery and large objects as cargo in the FMCSA carrier census, and seven apiece declare farm supplies, garbage and refuse, and grain, feed and hay. Lowboys, roll-off trucks, garbage packers and flatbeds all fit what local haulers move. Tell us the body type and the trailer, if one goes with the tractor, when you first get in touch.
Island County holds 377 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and corn heading its list. A feed truck, livestock hauler or hay flatbed parked at a barn outside town is collected right there. A Coupeville-area farm address and the name of whoever holds the barn key is all the driver needs.
Refuse trucks carry their own records. If your packer or roll-off has hauled garbage, include any inspection reports or service sheets you hold alongside the photos and the title.
Near the airfield
Trucks parked by OLF Coupeville or Racon Hill
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places OLF Coupeville, a military installation, 2.9 miles south-east of town, and Racon Hill, another, 7.2 miles to the north. Trucks that deliver to or service sites like these often park on private lots nearby. If yours sits on someone else’s property, tell us whose lot it is so access can be arranged before pickup.
In town, 2,018 jobs were counted in Coupeville in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A truck used by one of those employers can be sold by the business that holds its title; send the registration and a photo of the title’s front so we can confirm the owner’s name.
Burlington yards north-east of town
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, BURLINGTON YARD lies 23.5 miles north-east of Coupeville and a second Burlington yard sits at 23.6 miles. A day cab that pulls loads between Coupeville and those yards may be parked up in Burlington. Tell us which Burlington lot the truck is on and we come to it there.
Left the truck near Burlington after moving away? It can stay parked there. Give us the address, the VIN and a contact who can meet the driver, and handle the rest from wherever you live now.
County Auditor’s office
A lost title, sorted at the Auditor’s counter
The Washington State Department of Licensing issues titles, and its vehicle and vessel licensing office for Coupeville is ISLAND COUNTY AUDITOR AUTO LICENSE at 1 NE 7th St, Coupeville, 98239, 0.3 miles from the centre of town. If the title is missing, that office handles the replacement. Start the request there before you contact us, and tell us it is in progress.
Bring the registration, your ID and, for a company truck, proof you can sign for the business. Once the replacement title is in hand, send a photo of its front and back with your truck photos.
Washington’s clean-truck programs today
Washington’s Department of Ecology publication lists the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, as adopted in Washington’s Clean Vehicles Program, and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus under WAC 173-423-081; for both, enforcement is paused. The same publication’s updated regulatory guidance for those rules is in force. For a Coupeville seller, nothing about these programs stops a used truck changing hands today.
Coupeville owners asking whether a newer engine falls under the state’s heavy-duty standards can read that Ecology guidance directly. Tell us the engine model year when you send the VIN, and we sort out the rest.
