Oregon Weed Wash LLC
We supply Type 1 weed wash units and trained crews to active wildfire incidents and forestry operations across the western United States — deployable on same-day notice.
What We Do
Equipment moving between incidents carries seeds, soil and plant material with it. We wash it off — on site, at the point it matters — so crews and contractors meet their decontamination requirements without leaving the fire.
Our units deploy to active wildfire incidents under U.S. Forest Service contracts, and to forestry, land management and private operations that need the same capability. When a fire orders a unit, we call operators who are already vetted, equipped and standing by.
Type 1 weed wash units staffed and delivered to incident camps, working within the incident's decontamination plan.
The same decontamination capability for timber operations, restoration projects and agency work outside of fire season.
A vetted operator roster across the western states means we can put a unit on the road the day the order comes in.
Coverage
Our units sit on dispatch lists spanning Forest Service Regions 1 through 6, covering eleven western states. We can deploy anywhere in the country on same-day notice.

For Operators
You work as a 1099 subcontractor. We supply the unit and all equipment; you bring a pickup and a willingness to go when the call comes.
| Resource | Notes | Per day |
|---|---|---|
| Truck + 2 operators | Default split $600 primary / $400 secondary, or however the two of you agree | $1,000 |
| Truck + 1 operator | We pair you with a second operator | $600 |
| Operator, no truck | We pair you with a truck at dispatch | $400 |
Who owns the truck doesn't determine who gets paid — pay follows the operator role.
The government pays us, and we pay you out of those receipts. We do not advance pay. We request an interim payment after your first two weeks on the fire and every two weeks after that, and we release funds within 7 days of receipt — usually same day. Expect your first payment roughly 5–6 weeks after your first day on a fire. That's normal for this work and it's the same for everyone.
How to Apply
Every operator files their own application, including a second operator riding with you.
Fill out the Truck Application first, one per truck. Then the Operator Application, one per operator. Enter the VIN exactly as it appears — that's what links you to your truck in our system.
Truck ApplicationFill out the Operator Application only. Leave the VIN blank — we'll pair you with a truck at dispatch.
Operator ApplicationYou can list up to 4 VINs on one Operator Application. More than 4 trucks? Email dispatch@oregonweedwash.com.
We review your application, then set up a short one-on-one video call. Once you're approved you get access to the operator portal, upload your documents, and go on the dispatch list.
