Mobile is Alabama's port and Alabama's chemical coast at once. Containers come off at the port's container terminal, and cars roll off at the ro-ro berth in Chickasaw. The tank farms at Blakeley Island and Theodore feed a line of chemical and fuel tankers, which is the city's signature truck. Half the carriers based here run interstate, which for a port town is a high share.
Behind the port trucks come the log trucks from the pine counties, the dump trucks out of the Theodore cement plant's quarry and the garbage trucks on the city routes. A sleeper-cab semi truck out of Mobile is usually a container or chemical haul headed north.
Lost title in Mobile
Mobile County's license office at 3925 Michael Boulevard, Suite F, is where a duplicate title is applied for and where the title transfer is recorded for the Department of Revenue.
A chemical tanker wears in the barrel, the valves and the pump; a container day cab at the fifth wheel and the air lines. Salt air reaches both, so get close shots of the frame rails and crossmembers, cover the cab and the motor, and say which end of the port it worked.
Weight limits in Mobile
Mobile's bridge list is kind to a tall load: 222 bridges inside the city, six with a load posting and not one under fourteen feet. The port trucks never think about clearance. What Alabama allows on its own roads, and the federal table on the interstates, is set out on the Alabama page, not on this Mobile page.
Tell us which yard holds the truck, Blakeley Island, Chickasaw or the Theodore side, and send photos and the title.
