Blount County
Where Highland Lake sits
Highland Lake is in Blount County, and the census counts 503 people here, at 308 per square mile, with a median age of 62.1 years.
What we know about Highland Lake is what the census records and what Alabama law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Alabama weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Alabama sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Alabama the overall gross weight is 80,000 lb, including all enforcement tolerances (Ala. Code ยง 32-9-20 (Schedule of Restrictions)).
So what leaves Highland Lake
That rule meets 503 people in Highland Lake, Blount County, at a household median around $71,563 and a density of 308 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
