Contractor and shop trucks north of Bremerton
Private fleets moving their owners’ own goods make up 35 of the 49 Tracyton carriers still active in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck belonged to a contractor, a landscaper or a shop that ran its own deliveries, it fits this picture; have the title and current registration in one place before you contact us.
Of those 49, the same federal census shows 43 operating intrastate and only 6 crossing state lines. A tractor or straight truck that stayed inside Washington usually carries a simpler paper trail, so a title, a registration card and any service invoices you kept are normally all we ask to see.
The three biggest Tracyton fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census list 6, 4 and 3 power units, with 5, 4 and 3 drivers. Selling two or three units from a small operation like that can be done in one conversation; send the VIN of each truck and say where each one is parked.
Freight, car haulers and refuse trucks
General freight is the cargo 21 local carriers report to FMCSA’s carrier census, which points to box trucks, flatbeds and day cabs. Photos of the cab, the deck or box, and the odometer give us a clear first look at any of those.
In FMCSA’s carrier census, 9 local operators list cars and other vehicles as their cargo. If yours is a tractor with a vehicle-hauling trailer, or a truck with a tilting bed, it belongs in that group. Include a shot of the ramps or the bed and note any winch or wheel-lift equipment fitted.
Garbage and refuse is reported by 5 carriers and household goods by another 5, according to FMCSA’s census of registered carriers. A packer body or a moving van should be photographed with its body equipment visible, and send any records for the hydraulics or lift gate along with them.
Gravel, stone and dump work near Tracyton
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Plant #2, a sand and gravel operation, about 4 miles north-west of Tracyton, and Kitsap Quarry, a crushed-stone site, 4.6 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or end-dump trailer parked at either yard can be collected on site; tell us who controls the gate so the visit is arranged with them.
Further out, Plant 1 sits 5.7 miles south-west and Bethel Pit 10.4 miles south, both on MSHA’s mine register. If your truck is still at one of those pits after the job ended, you do not need to move it home first; give us the site name and a contact there.
Construction accounts for 36 establishments in the area on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractor-owned dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds from that work are welcome; any annual inspection paperwork you hold helps us confirm the configuration.
Bremerton
Naval yards and rail to the south
Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton lies 3.6 miles south of Tracyton and NG Bremerton 4.1 miles south-west, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored near either installation is collected outside the gate; we cannot enter a base, so let us know where it can be reached from a public road.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the BREMERTON NAVAL rail yard 3.8 miles south and BALMER YARD 12.9 miles east. If your tractor shuttled loads to a rail siding, say which yard it worked so we know the setup to expect.
Tracyton paychecks, Kitsap tree farms
For 2023, Tracyton held 715 jobs according to the LEHD figures the Census Bureau publishes. Many trucks here belong to people who work for themselves, so we deal with the owner named on the title directly; if the title lists a business, have whoever signs for it available.
Christmas-tree growers, woody-crop plots and cattle lead Kitsap County’s 570 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A flatbed or stake truck that hauled trees in season, or a cattle hauler, can be picked up at the farm where it sits; send the farm address with your photos.
Registration, new carriers and state rules
Three new carriers registered in Tracyton in 2025 and one in 2024, on FMCSA’s census figures. If you are winding down a recently started authority, keep your USDOT number handy so the truck’s records line up with the title.
Washington’s Department of Ecology reports that enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus standards is paused, while its updated regulatory guidance on those rules is in force. Tell us the model year and engine on the title paperwork, and if the original title is lost, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before we schedule the pickup.
