Lumber, freight and machinery on Raymond’s register
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 67 active carriers based in Raymond, and 26 of them declare general freight while 16 declare logs, poles, beams and lumber. If your truck has pulled log or lumber loads, tell us whether the trailer, bunks or stakes go with it, so we collect the whole unit in one trip.
Machinery and large objects appear on 13 of those registrations and farm supplies on 11, again according to the federal carrier census. A lowboy tractor or a flatbed that carried equipment is one we buy; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the data plate along with your first message.
Of the 67, the same FMCSA census counts 57 as intrastate-only and 44 as private fleets hauling their own goods, with 10 authorised to cross state lines. A truck that never left Washington still needs its title in hand at collection, and an interstate unit should come with its registration paperwork too.
Fleet sizes, drivers and model years
The three biggest operations on FMCSA’s register for Raymond run 54, 22 and 13 power units, with 36, 24 and 13 drivers respectively. If you are clearing several trucks from a yard at once, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we will plan one collection around the lot.
Raymond’s 45 inspected trucks, stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, show a 2018 median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and 37.8 percent carry a model year ten or more back. Whatever the year of yours, keep the service records and the most recent inspection report with the title; they let us confirm the truck’s history without a second visit.
A median of 10,000 miles per truck each year comes from the 13 Raymond carriers that file mileage with the federal carrier census. Drivers within 100 miles of base number 116 on that census, beside 94 who go further, so many of these trucks are parked at home or at a shop yard when the time comes to sell.
Hawks Superior Rock, a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 3.1 miles west of Raymond. A dump truck or end-dump tractor working that pit can be picked up at the quarry if the operator gives access; send us the gate contact and the hours the site is open.
Further out, the mine safety agency lists Portable #1, another crushed-stone operation, 19.5 miles east, and Wynoochee Pit East, a sand and gravel site, 22.2 miles north. Photograph the dump body, the hoist and the tag axle along with the cab, so we know the full truck before we arrive.
Grays Harbor
Port terminals and rail to the north
About 19.8 miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Port of Grays Harbor’s Terminal 4, a roll-on/roll-off berth, and a liquid bulk terminal at the port 20.3 miles out. Tractors that shuttle to those docks do not need to come back to Raymond for us; give us the yard address near the harbour and we go there.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Terminal 4 on-side dock yard at 19.8 miles and the Port of Grays Harbor yard at 20 miles. Close by, the Energy Information Administration lists the Hoquiam petroleum product terminal 20.5 miles north; for a tanker that served it, have the tank’s test paperwork ready with the title.
Mill and farm trucks
Mills, timber, farms and building
Manufacturing accounts for 215 of Raymond’s 1,113 jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting for 158. A truck that hauled for a mill or a timber operation sells the same way as any other: title, keys and a clear location.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 290 farms in Pacific County, with milk, cattle and horses at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, feed trucks and milk tankers from those farms are all trucks we take; let us know if the trailer is part of the sale.
For builders around Raymond, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns shows 15 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from a builder’s yard can be collected on site, so tell us whether a loader or forklift is there to help.
If the title is lost, apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate before we collect, and keep the registration with the truck. A lien on the title needs a release from the lender; send us the lender’s name early so the paperwork is ready.
A Washington state publication on the Clean Vehicles Program lists enforcement as paused for the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and for the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standards, while updated regulatory guidance on those rules is in force. None of that changes what a seller in Raymond needs at pickup: the title, the keys and the truck’s location.
The questions we get asked in Raymond
- My end-dump sits at Hawks Superior Rock outside Raymond; does it need hauling into town first?Hawks Superior Rock is 3.1 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and we collect from the quarry itself. Name someone at the pit who can let our driver through to the truck.
- The tractor works out of the Port of Grays Harbor; will you pick it up near Terminal 4?Terminal 4 at the Port of Grays Harbor is about 19.8 miles north of Raymond by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ listing, and collecting near the port is routine for us. Tell us whose yard the truck is in.
- The title for my Raymond lumber hauler has gone missing; where does a replacement come from?A Pacific County owner in Raymond requests the duplicate from the state’s title agency, not from us. Start that before collection and keep the registration with the truck.
- Will you take a Raymond truck that is a decade or more past its model year?FMCSA roadside inspection records put 37.8 percent of the 45 trucks checked around Raymond at ten or more model years old, and we buy trucks of any model year. Your VIN and current odometer figure are the first two things we ask for on a Raymond truck.
