Replacing a lost title three and a half miles from home
WRAY’S LICENSING, at 5605 Summitview Ave, Yakima, 98908, is one of the vehicle and vessel licensing offices of the Washington State Department of Licensing, and the agency puts it 3.5 miles from town. If the title to your truck has gone missing, that counter is the closest place to start a replacement before we collect.
Bring the registration along with you, plus any VIN plate photo and the last renewal notice, so the clerk can match the truck to its record. Once the replacement title is in your hands, send us a picture of the front and back and we can line up the pickup at your place on the hill.
A truck still titled to a business, or to a relative who has passed away, needs that paperwork sorted at the same Washington State Department of Licensing office; tell us who is on the title when you first call so we know which documents to ask for.
East toward the yards
Rail sidings seven miles down the valley
Two rail yards, YAKIMA at 7.4 miles and YAKIMA YARD at 7.5 miles, both lie east of Summitview according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads between orchard warehouses and those sidings often end up parked near the tracks rather than at home.
If your tractor is sitting on a yard lot east of here, give us the gate contact and the hours the lot is open. A tractor that never leaves the railside lot can stay right there; our driver comes to it.
Pits east of town, a quarry to the north-west
East Valley, a sand and gravel operation 10.1 miles east, and Wheeler Rock Products, another sand and gravel site 11.3 miles to the south-east, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Dump trucks, end dumps and belly-dump tractors that feed those pits are the kind of equipment we buy from owners around Summitview.
Up the other way, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Horseshoe Bend Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry 13.9 miles north-west. For a truck that has hauled aggregate, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the axles alongside the cab and the door sticker, and tell us whether it is parked at the pit or back home.
Quarry sites usually control who comes through the gate, so if your dump truck sits inside one, let us know the name of the person who can walk our driver in.
Milk, cattle and corn across the valley floor
Across Yakima County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,523 farms, and its leading products there are milk, cattle and corn. Bulk milk tankers, cattle haulers, grain trucks and feed trucks all come out of that kind of farming, and we buy each of them.
A farm truck from Summitview may be registered to the farm rather than to you personally. Check whose name the Washington State Department of Licensing has on the title before you contact us, and have a photo of the registration ready so the paperwork matches the person signing it.
Enforcement is likewise paused for the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, the medium- and heavy-duty emission standard in the Washington Administrative Code.
For a Summitview owner selling a diesel tractor or straight truck, none of this changes what we ask for: the title, the VIN and clear photos.
Trucks parked toward the base
Service members who own a work truck and receive orders elsewhere can leave it parked locally and handle the sale by phone and email.
Send us the address where the truck will stay, the title and a local contact with a key, and we arrange collection there after you have left the valley.
