Quarry and pit trucks on the Southworth side of Kitsap
Bethel Pit, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 6 miles south-west of Southworth, and Airport Pit, another 8.5 miles out in that same direction, both put dump trucks and end dumps on the local roads. If your truck hauls aggregate from either pit, we can collect it at the pit gate, at your yard or at your house, whichever is easiest to reach.
Westward, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places two crushed-stone quarries: Plant 1 at 7.7 miles and Kitsap Quarry at 8.7 miles from town. A tractor or dump body that has worked out of those quarries is the kind of equipment we buy from owners here. Send photos of the cab, the body, the frame and the tires, plus the VIN, so we know which truck you mean before we arrange collection.
Owners who split their hauls between the pits and the quarries can list both on the first call. Knowing the sites helps us plan where the pickup will happen and which access road the truck can use.
Shipyard side
Southworth trucks serving Manchester and the Bremerton naval yard
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Manchester, a military installation, lies 3.7 miles north of Southworth, and Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton WA lies 6 miles west. Trucks that serve those two installations are box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that could be parked off-site on any given day, so give us the address where yours actually sits.
Half a mile beyond the base, the BREMERTON NAVAL rail yard is listed 6.5 miles west of town in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drivers who move freight between that yard and the shore can tell us which side of the inlet the truck is on, and we will plan the visit around it.
Mention early any gate pass, base access restriction or contractor yard rule that limits where the truck can be reached. We come to the truck, so the more we know about its location, the simpler the collection.
Container tractors on the Seattle side of the Sound
Terminal 5, a rail intermodal ramp, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings 8.8 miles east of Southworth on the far side of Puget Sound. Day cabs that pull chassis between that ramp and Kitsap warehouses are tractors we purchase from local owners.
If your tractor shuttles boxes off that Bureau of Transportation Statistics-listed ramp at Terminal 5, have the registration and the title in the name of the person or business selling it. Tell us whether the truck is kept on the Kitsap side or across the water, and we will arrange to meet it there.
Port Orchard’s licensing office for a missing Southworth title
The Washington State Department of Licensing issues vehicle titles through vehicle and vessel licensing offices, and the nearest one to Southworth is PORT ORCHARD LICENSE AGENCY, INC. - Across from Fred Meyer, at 1703 SE Sedgwick Rd Ste 115, Port Orchard, 98366, 4.7 miles away. That is where an owner here can apply to replace a missing title.
Start that replacement before you call us if the title cannot be found. Bring the registration, your identification and the VIN to the Port Orchard office, and keep any lien release from a cleared loan with the rest of the papers.
Farm trucks around Southworth and the rest of Kitsap
Around Southworth, cut Christmas trees lead the farm list, followed by cut Christmas trees with short-term woody crops and then cattle, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 570 farms across Kitsap County. Flatbeds and straight trucks that haul trees in the season and livestock trailers pulled behind pickups or tractors are both part of that picture.
If your farm truck spends most of the year parked at the tree lot or the barn, that is where we will collect it. Have the title, any farm plate registration papers and a few photos ready when you get in touch.
Ecology listings
Washington’s clean truck programs and a Southworth sale
Southworth owners selling a heavy truck can note that the Washington Department of Ecology lists Advanced Clean Trucks, as adopted in Washington’s Clean Vehicles Program, with its enforcement paused. Ecology lists the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus the same way, enforcement paused, while its update to regulatory guidance for Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus is in force.
For a seller in Kitsap, those listings change nothing about what to have ready. Read the model year off the registration, note the engine make if you know it, and send both with the VIN when you get in touch.
