Construction work east of Spokane Valley
In the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, construction holds 345 of the 733 jobs located in Otis Orchards-East Farms, a 47.1 percent share. Dump trucks, flatbeds and lowboy tractors that serve those crews often sit in a contractor’s yard between jobs, so tell us whose yard it is and who can open it for our driver.
Around Otis Orchards the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 68 construction establishments, and when your dump truck or flatbed is titled to one of them rather than to you, have the company name on the title, the registration and the person authorised to sign ready when you first call.
For a dump body or a lowboy, photograph the bed or deck, the hoist or ramps, the cab and the VIN plate on the door, and include the license plate so the registration can be matched to the truck.
Gravel pits along Sullivan Road and beyond
Sullivan Road Facility, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 5.6 miles west of Otis Orchards-East Farms. A tandem dump or a belly-dump tractor hauling aggregate from that pit is the kind of truck we collect straight from the owner’s lot near Otis Orchards.
Further out, Wash Plant #1 lies 21.7 miles west, also on the MSHA record of sand and gravel sites. If your truck is parked at a pit rather than at home, give us the site’s address and a gate contact, and leave it in place; the collection happens where it stands.
Day cabs and tankers between the industrial park sidings and the fuel racks
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Spokane Industrial Park rail yard about 4.3 miles west of town. Day cabs and tractors that shuttle freight between that yard and Valley warehouses belong among the trucks we buy from Otis Orchards owners.
A Spokane Valley petroleum product terminal sits 4.6 miles west on the Energy Information Administration’s records, with a second Spokane terminal 11.2 miles out. If your tanker loads at either rack, keep its tank inspection certificates with the title and tell us which terminal it served.
Container work runs through the Spokane intermodal ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates 11.2 miles west. For a tractor that pulls chassis off that ramp, send the VIN, the odometer reading and pictures of the fifth wheel and each axle’s tires.
Haulers of general freight, heavy machinery and timber that call East Farms home
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 117 active carriers based here, 47 of them hauling general freight and 41 moving machinery and large objects. FMCSA registrations here split into 63 intrastate and 54 interstate operations, and 90 are private fleets carrying their own goods; for a private-fleet truck, the business named on the title is the one that signs.
Farm supplies and logs, poles, beams and lumber each account for 16 carriers in the same FMCSA census. A log truck or a farm-supply hauler can be collected from the woodlot landing or the farm shop, wherever it is kept between seasons.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 143 drivers working within 100 miles and 180 going beyond that radius. If your rig is out on a long run, tell us where it will be parked and when, and we arrange the pickup there.
What FMCSA inspections and mileage filings show here
Across 82 trucks checked in FMCSA roadside inspection records between August 2024 and August 2026, half were ten or more model years old. Whatever the model year of yours, have the title, current registration and any service records together before you get in touch.
Forty-four local carriers filed mileage with FMCSA giving a median of 7,333 miles per truck a year; for your own truck, read the odometer, photograph it and put that reading in your first message along with the VIN.
The biggest fleet registered here runs 100 power units and 96 drivers in FMCSA’s census, followed by fleets of 15 and 6 units. Owners selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and parking addresses, and we plan the collections from it.
Wheat, cattle and horses across the county
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,386 farms in Spokane County, with wheat, cattle and equine as the leading products. Grain trucks, cattle pots and horse haulers that serve that ground can be collected from the farmyard, the barn or the field edge.
If a farm truck is registered to the farm operation, the person who signs the title for that operation needs to be part of the sale. Photograph the grain box or stock trailer, the cab and the VIN, and tell us whether the parking spot is gravel, pavement or open field.
The questions we get asked in Otis Orchards-East Farms
- Can my dump truck stay at the Sullivan Road gravel pit until it is collected?Sullivan Road Facility is 5.6 miles west of Otis Orchards-East Farms on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and the truck can stay right there. Give us the pit’s address and a contact who can let our driver through the gate.
- Where do Washington’s Advanced Clean Trucks and Low NOx rules stand for a Spokane County tractor?Washington’s Department of Ecology guidance lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus as paused, while its updated guidance on those rules is in force. When you contact us, give the tractor’s model year and engine family as printed on its title and emissions label.
- Which papers go with a tanker that fills at the Spokane Valley fuel rack?The Spokane Valley petroleum product terminal is 4.6 miles west of town on Energy Information Administration records, and tankers serving it carry inspection certificates. Bring those together with the title, registration and service records.
- Our wheat farm owns the grain truck, so whose signature goes on the title?With 2,386 farms in Spokane County on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, many trucks here are titled to a farm operation rather than a person. The person authorised to sign for that operation signs the title, so have them available when we arrange the sale.
