Arizona's heavy freight is mining and materials. Metal mines work at Bagdad, Globe, Green Valley and Bullhead City, cement plants run at Clarkdale, Marana and Paulden, and sand-and-gravel pits are spread through the state.
A Kenworth day cab out of Phoenix, a Mack mixer off a Marana plant, a Freightliner sleeper running out of Tucson or a Ram dually out of Flagstaff are handled the same way: photos and the details come to us, an offer goes back, and from there we can collect it, buy it remotely, or you can drive it in.
Arizona’s trucking industry is a major logistics hub with Interstate 10 and Interstate 40 serving as critical freight corridors connecting California to Texas.
One axle number, and the tolerance is already inside it
Whatever it pulled, it moved under a state figure written differently from most. Arizona sets the single axle at 20,000 lb under A.R.S. § 28-1100, and the enforcement tolerance is included in that number rather than added on top of it. Alabama builds it in the same way — Georgia, Kentucky and Florida all publish a base and then allow something over it.
A.R.S. § 28-1100.
Arizona has no percentage threshold for salvage. A.R.S. § 28-2091 brands a vehicle salvage where it has been stolen, wrecked, destroyed, flood or water damaged, or otherwise damaged to the point that the owner, the leasing company, the lender or the insurer considers it uneconomical to repair. Kentucky and Alabama use 75 per cent and Florida 80. Flood and water damage are named inside the definition itself, which is not true of every state and is worth knowing beside a river.
A.R.S. § 28-2091, § 28-2095.
