Sell your semi truck for cash in Silver Firs the easy and convenient way

Construction holds 634 of the 2,825 Silver Firs jobs that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, which works out to 22.4 percent. If your dump truck, flatbed or boom truck spent its days on Snohomish County building sites, tell us which kind of work it did and send a photo of the body as well as the cab.

Transportation and warehousing accounts for 80 of those same 2023 positions, or 2.8 percent, according to the LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. A tractor or straight truck tied to that kind of work may be parked at home in a driveway or on a side street; give us the exact spot and whether a tow rig can pull in beside it.

Heidelberg Materials High Rock Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies about 8.8 miles east of Silver Firs on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. Ten-wheelers and end-dump rigs that load rock there can be collected from a shop yard or a home lot; we only ask that someone with a key meets the driver.

Further out to the north-east, Getchell Pit at 15.7 miles and Menzel Lake Gravel at 17.1 miles both appear as sand and gravel operations in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your truck is still sitting at a pit site, check with the operator that a pickup is allowed on site, then pass us the gate contact along with the VIN.

Haulers who split their week between those pits and job sites in the county should have the title, the current registration and any service records together before calling. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the tag axle, if it has one, before anyone heads out to Menzel Lake or Getchell.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics designates Everett, roughly 8.5 miles north-west, as a strategic seaport. Day cabs that have shuttled freight between the Everett docks and warehouses inland are trucks we purchase, and we can collect one from a terminal lot if you arrange gate access beforehand.

Bayside Yard, a rail yard about 9.6 miles north-west on the Everett side, shows up in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tell us whether your tractor sits near the yard or back home in Silver Firs, so the pickup goes to the right address the first time.

South-west, at about 21.1 miles, Terminal 30 (T-30) is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a rail intermodal ramp. Container tractors working between that ramp and the Everett waterfront can be sold from wherever they are parked at either end.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,418 farms across Snohomish County, with milk, cattle and corn as the leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks from those operations are welcome here, and they can stay on the farm until we arrive.

For a farm truck, the county census from USDA gives the setting; what helps us is the paperwork. Have the title in the owner’s name, note whether the truck carries farm plates, and send a few pictures of the tank or stock box so we can see the equipment that came with it.

Washington’s Department of Ecology guidance lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, as adopted in the state’s Clean Vehicles Program, as paused. The same Department of Ecology publication shows the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standard under WAC 173-423-081 paused too, while the updated regulatory guidance for those rules is in force.

None of that stops a sale of a diesel tractor or straight truck registered in Silver Firs. Bring the registration and the engine model year to the conversation, and we can talk through the truck with the current Ecology guidance in view.

Military traffic is part of the area too: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists a military installation at Marysville, around 18 miles north. Whether your truck sits near Marysville, Everett or a gravel pit, the list is the same: the title, the registration, the VIN, a phone number for whoever holds the keys, and clear daylight photos from all four sides.

If the title is missing, tell us at the start rather than at pickup. We will walk you through the replacement with the state before the collection is booked, so the truck leaves Snohomish County with its papers in order.

Can your driver collect it from Getchell or Menzel Lake?Getchell Pit and Menzel Lake Gravel, 15.7 and 17.1 miles out according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are the kind of sites we drive to. Confirm with the pit operator that a pickup is allowed and give us the gate contact.
• Do you buy trucks from the dairy farms in Snohomish County?Snohomish County’s 1,418 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lead with milk and cattle, and the tankers and stock trucks from them are on our list. The truck can stay on the farm for collection.
• Does Washington’s paused clean truck enforcement affect selling my diesel truck?Ecology’s current guidance shows Advanced Clean Trucks and Low NOx Omnibus enforcement paused in Washington, and your diesel tractor can be sold as it stands. Have the registration ready when you contact us.
• My tractor hauls containers between the Everett docks and the intermodal ramp south-west of here. Where would you pick it up?Everett’s strategic seaport sits 8.5 miles north-west and Terminal 30 about 21.1 miles south-west on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and either end works for us. Name the terminal lot holding the tractor and the person with gate access.
