From Woodway down to Balmer and the container ramps
Balmer Yard sits 9.8 miles south of Woodway on the North American Rail Network, the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics map of the country’s tracks. A tractor that shuttles boxes between that yard and the city’s terminals usually comes home to a driveway or a lot near here at night, and that is where we would pick it up. Give us the street address and say whether a gate or a narrow lane stands in the way.
Farther down the shore, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Terminal 30 intermodal ramp 14.1 miles away and Seattle International Gateway at 14.7. Day cabs built for short container runs off ramps like those are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and pictures of each side along with your first message.
Fuel by the tankload
Fuel racks a short haul south of Woodway
The Energy Information Administration lists the Shell Seattle Terminal 14.3 miles south of town and a second Seattle petroleum product terminal a tenth of a mile beyond it. Tank tractors and fuel straight trucks loading at racks like these fit what we purchase, whether one unit or several.
If your fuel truck carries a tank or meter certification, keep that paperwork with the title when you get in touch. Tell us whether the tank goes with the chassis or stays behind, since it changes how the truck is collected from your yard.
Port and base work
Everett’s seaport and Keyport to the west
Everett, 14.8 miles north-east, is named a strategic seaport by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the same agency that lists Naval Base Kitsap - Keyport 12.5 miles to the west across the Sound. Trucks that serve a port gate or a base contractor are welcome here, and so is anything that ended up parked once that work wrapped up.
Should yours be parked on the Everett side or over toward Kitsap, there is no need to bring it back to Woodway. Tell us the town it sits in and who can meet us there with the keys.
A licensing office under a mile from Woodway
Washington State Department of Licensing titles run through its vehicle and vessel licensing offices, and the closest to Woodway is Edmonds Auto License & Service at 636 Edmonds Way, Edmonds, 98020, just 0.8 miles away. A replacement title can be issued there before we arrange collection.
Bring your registration and photo ID to Edmonds Way if the certificate has gone missing. When a lender still holds a lien, let us know at the start and ask them for a release letter, so the transfer is signed once the truck is loaded.
Dairy and feed hauling nearby
North of the town line, Snohomish County holds 1,418 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn ranked first, second and third in sales. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks from those farms are all vehicles we purchase.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or behind a shop between seasons. Tell us roughly where it is parked on the property, and if a trailer is attached, so the driver we send arrives with the right equipment.
Selling a diesel while Ecology holds enforcement
Washington adopted California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation through its Clean Vehicles Program, and the state Department of Ecology lists enforcement as paused. Ecology’s notice gives the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus medium- and heavy-duty emission standards in the Washington Administrative Code the same paused status.
Woodway owners holding diesel tractors can sell them to us under either rule as things stand. Ecology’s updated guidance for Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Low NOx Omnibus is in force, and you can read it before you decide.
