Gravel and fuel
Sullivan Road gravel and the east-side fuel terminals
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Sullivan Road Facility, a sand and gravel operation, 1.9 miles east of Spokane Valley. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer has been hauling aggregate out of that pit, it can stay parked near Sullivan Road; give us the address and the name of whoever can let us onto the lot.
About 2.9 miles east, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal under the name Spokane Valley, and a second one 4 miles west on the Spokane side. A tank truck that has loaded at either terminal should come with its registration and any tank inspection paperwork you hold, kept together in the cab so the collection goes in one visit.
Further out, Wash Plant #1 sits 14.3 miles west on the same Mine Safety and Health Administration list. Owners whose gravel trucks run between that plant and job sites in the valley can sell from the yard where the truck already sits.
Rail yards north-east, the container ramp to the west
Two rail yards under the name Spokane Ind Park appear on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, at 3.1 and 3.3 miles north-east of the city. If your day cab shuttles trailers or railcar loads around the industrial park, photograph the cab, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate before you reach out.
West of town, 4.2 miles out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Spokane rail intermodal ramp. A tractor that pulls containers off that ramp is one we buy; send the VIN and the odometer reading first, and the rest of our questions follow from those two.
Log, machinery and car haulers based in Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley counts 697 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 361 hauling general freight, 159 moving machinery and large objects, 105 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 91 moving motor vehicles. A log truck, a lowboy or a car hauler from any of those fleets is the kind of equipment we collect here, so tell us what the truck carried when you call.
Of those carriers, the FMCSA census marks 379 as interstate and 318 as intrastate, and 489 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A business that owns its trucks outright for in-house deliveries can sell one unit without selling the company; have the title in the business’s name ready to sign.
New registrations in the FMCSA census came to 35 in 2024 and 51 in 2025. Owner-operators who started in those years and are now stepping back should keep the purchase paperwork and the registration with the title.
Across 952 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 36.2% of those trucks ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, list it along with the make and model when you first contact us.
Among the 243 Spokane Valley carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 11,500 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you call and include it with your photos, so what we see lines up with what you tell us.
Construction, manufacturing and farm hauling
Spokane Valley had 57,006 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts: 7,213 in manufacturing, 4,150 in wholesale trade, 4,026 in construction and 3,788 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks and straight trucks from a plant or a wholesale yard can be collected from the loading dock where they are parked.
Spokane Valley’s 549 construction firms and 14 warehousing firms, as County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts them, keep dump trucks and flatbeds moving between sites. Contractors selling a dump truck or a flatbed between jobs should tell us which site the truck is on that week.
Spokane County held 2,386 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with wheat, cattle and horses at the top. A grain truck or a livestock hauler parked on a county farm can be picked up there; give us directions to the barn or shed and a phone number for whoever is on site.
Washington’s clean truck rules and your paperwork
Washington’s Department of Ecology guidance lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standards as paused, while its updated regulatory guidance for those rules is in force. Selling a diesel tractor registered in Spokane Valley still starts with the same documents: the title, current registration and your photo ID.
If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency handles a replacement before the sale. Start that request early and tell us it is underway, so collection can be lined up around the replacement arriving.
