Valley hauling
Produce, hay and farm supplies out of Moxee
Of the 99 Moxee carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 36 list fresh produce as a cargo, 32 list farm supplies and 30 list grain, feed or hay, beside 54 that carry general freight. If your tractor has pulled reefers or flatbeds of bales out of the orchards and fields around town, tell us the trailer type it was set up for when you first get in touch.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 2,523 farms across Yakima County, with milk, cattle and corn at the top of the list. A truck that has run feed to dairies or cattle out to pasture often sits at a farm yard rather than in town, so give us the ranch road or the gate code and we will plan the collection at that spot.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 171 jobs, or 10 percent of the 1,704 Moxee jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Seasonal rigs that sit between harvests can be collected while parked; have the title and the registration together before we arrive.
Gravel haulers from East Valley to Wheeler Rock Products
East Valley’s sand and gravel pit lies 2.5 miles west of Moxee and Wheeler Rock Products’ pit 8.3 miles south-west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has worked either pit, photographs of the bed, the hoist and the cab give us a clear first look.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Horseshoe Bend Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry 24.6 miles north-west of town. Construction employs 92 people in Moxee by the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 15 construction establishments; if your truck is parked at a jobsite, send us the address and who holds the keys.
Two Yakima rail yards just west of town
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places YAKIMA YARD 5.1 miles west of Moxee and a second yard, YAKIMA, 5.2 miles out in the same direction. Tractors that shuttle loads between the packing sheds and those yards stay close to home, and we can pick one up wherever it last dropped a trailer.
Manufacturing makes up 316 jobs, or 18.5 percent of local employment, in the 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. If your truck served a plant or packing line, hand over any service records you kept from that work alongside the VIN.
Local routes and private fleets around Moxee
Within Moxee, 63 carriers run intrastate only and 36 cross state lines, while 55 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A private fleet selling one unit should have the title in the company’s name and someone able to sign for it.
Federal carrier census filings show 331 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 136 going beyond that radius. Among the 43 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 32,986 miles a year; put the odometer reading in your first message so we start from the right number.
The three biggest fleets based here run 91, 40 and 35 power units, with 153, 33 and 35 drivers respectively, in FMCSA’s records. Owners of one truck and owners of dozens can both sell to us, one unit or several at once.
If your truck appears in those inspection reports, keep copies with the title; they help us confirm the VIN and the unit’s details. New entrants keep arriving too, with FMCSA’s carrier census adding 5 new Moxee carriers in 2024 and 4 in 2025.
Moxee titles and Washington’s paused clean truck rules
Washington’s published Clean Vehicles Program guidance lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule as paused. The same state guidance shows the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles paused as well, while updated regulatory guidance for those rules is in force.
Before collection, gather the title, the current registration and any lien release. If the title is lost, request a replacement from the state’s title agency first, since the sale cannot close without it.
The questions we get asked in Moxee
- Can my truck be collected at a Yakima County farm near Moxee?Yakima County holds 2,523 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks that work them are often kept on the property. Give us the farm address and a contact who can open the gate, and we will collect it there.

Photograph the hoist, bed and cab, and include the VIN when you write.
- I run a produce reefer out of Moxee. Will you take the tractor?Fresh produce is listed as a cargo by 36 Moxee carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and tractors from that work are trucks we buy. Tell us the tractor’s VIN, the odometer reading and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
