Seaport and Bayside tracks
Trucks that run between Meadowdale and the Everett waterfront
Everett, nine miles north-east of Meadowdale, appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of strategic seaports. A tractor that has pulled chassis or flatbeds to that harbour may be parked anywhere along the corridor between the two, so give us the street address where it sits today rather than where it was last loaded.
Just past the seaport, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows Bayside Yard at 10.6 miles and a second Bayside entry at 10.7 miles, both north-east of town. If your truck has shuttled freight to those tracks, tell us which lot or gate it is behind and who holds the key, and we can plan the collection around that access.
Quarry haulers east and west of Meadowdale
Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 16.5 miles east, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have worked aggregate runs out there are among the trucks we buy; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the body length when you send them.
On the other side of the Sound, New Shine Quarry sits 18.3 miles to the west as a sand and gravel operation in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. If a gravel truck stays parked near that site, send the VIN and the plate along with its location, and keep any service records you have together for the day we arrive.
Intermodal ramp, Shell tanks
Container ramps and fuel terminals toward Seattle
Nineteen miles south, Terminal 30 (T-30) is recorded as a rail intermodal ramp by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Owners of day cabs that have drayed boxes off that ramp can sell from Meadowdale without driving south; we come to wherever the tractor is parked.
Shell Seattle Terminal, a petroleum product terminal 19.3 miles south of town, appears in Energy Information Administration records. For a tank truck or a tractor that has pulled fuel trailers there, list the trailer type it was paired with and have the registration in the cab, so the details match when we look it over.
Work near Naval Base Kitsap - Keyport
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics names Naval Base Kitsap - Keyport as a military installation 17.8 miles south-west of Meadowdale. Trucks that have delivered to the base may be kept on the Kitsap side of the water; tell us the town and the yard, not only the county.
If the truck is stored behind a fence or on property you do not own, give us a name and number for whoever opens the gate. That one contact settles most of the questions about reaching a truck parked across the Sound.
Milk and corn hauling
Milk, cattle and corn haulers around Meadowdale
Snohomish County carries 1,418 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn listed as its leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks that serve those operations are trucks we purchase, and a farm truck can be collected straight from the barnyard.
When a truck has spent its life on a dairy or cattle place outside Meadowdale, send photos of the body as well as the tractor, and say whether the trailer or bed comes with it.
Replacing a lost title at the Lynnwood licensing office
The Washington State Department of Licensing handles lost or replacement titles through its vehicle and vessel licensing offices. The closest one in the Department of Licensing’s office list is Kunthara Auto License, at 14920 Hwy 99 Suite 120, Lynnwood, 98087, about 1.9 miles from town.
If the title is missing, start the replacement at that Lynnwood office before the sale, and bring the registration and your ID. A title in the seller’s name, with any lien released, is the one document the sale cannot go ahead without.
Ecology paused enforcement
Washington emissions rules and a Meadowdale truck
According to a Washington Department of Ecology publication, enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, as adopted in Washington’s Clean Vehicles Program, is paused, and so is enforcement of the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus under WAC 173-423-081.
That same Ecology publication puts an updated regulatory guidance for Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus in force. If you have an engine label photo or emissions paperwork, include it with your pictures so the engine details are on record from the start.
