Coconino County
Two rows, one place, two different services
The node list files two rows at this town and they sit almost on top of each other. Camp Navajo is an Army National Guard entry with its coordinate 3.89 miles from the middle of town; the other, a Navy observatory station carrying the name of the city down the road, is 5.57 miles out. Neither is an industry.
That pairing is not a duplicate. It is a component split — one location, two service branches, two separate rows — and it is the sixth of its kind in the survey these rows came from. A check that matched on distance alone would have collapsed them into one entry and lost a service in the process.
What neither row carries is a function, an acreage or a staffing figure. Those were not established when they were researched and they are not asserted here. So this page can tell you what is at Bellemont and cannot tell you how many people work there, and it is going to say so rather than guess.
So what is measured here is the road, not the payroll
Those two rows put a boundary on what this page can honestly claim, so here is what sits outside it.
Bellemont is high country in Coconino County, and between Camp Navajo at 3.89 miles and the Navy station at 5.57 there is no measured industry at all — but there is a measured road. Coconino County maintains 39 bridges and posts none of them for load. The only weight restrictions measured anywhere near here belong to a city rather than to the county, and they are attached to pits several miles off rather than to this town. For a truck that means the road does not decide the load; the weather and the grade do.
Winter at this elevation is a real thing and it is the part a buyer from lower down underestimates. Cold starts, chains, sanded road surfaces and long climbs put wear into the cooling system, the brakes and the underside in a way that a valley truck never sees. You know better than we do what a run of those winters does to one, and it is worth telling us about rather than leaving us to find.
Arizona weight law
One axle number, and the tolerance is already inside it
Beyond the grade, the load runs 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 is the only other state on file that builds it in the same way — Georgia, Kentucky and Florida all publish a base and then allow something over it. So a driver who has worked one of those states and moved here can arrive expecting headroom this section does not give.
The gross limit is a different matter. It was not extracted from the section text when the rule file was compiled, so this page does not state one. An unverified ceiling is worse than no ceiling.
A.R.S. § 28-1100. Information, not legal advice, and only as current as the date the rule file was last verified.
Arizona paperwork
We need a title — unless it never had one
Beyond the weight rules, the paperwork is one sentence and then a set of fixes.
Everything after that sentence is a fix rather than a category. A lost title has a counter replacement. Where none exists there is a bonded route. Both are ordinary and neither stops a sale.
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. That is a judgement rather than an arithmetic test, and the wording sits closest to California’s. Four of the seven states on file work this way; Kentucky and Alabama use 75 per cent and Florida 80.
There is also a separate nonrepairable class, and A.R.S. § 28-2095 covers the restored salvage certificate — its inspection triggers were not extracted, so this page does not describe them.
A.R.S. § 28-2091, § 28-2095. Information, not legal advice.
What we buy here
Those rules land the same way on every body style, and so does the offer. We buy all of them.
Day cabs and road tractors, flatbeds and stake beds, dump trucks and aggregate haulers, water trucks, service bodies, box trucks, rollbacks, and the crew pickups behind them. None of those is a Coconino County speciality — they are everywhere — and that is the point: which one you have does not change the offer.
Getting it done is straightforward from the corridor here. We come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us. With two rows on file at Bellemont, Camp Navajo at 3.89 miles and the Navy station at 5.57, and no staffing recorded against either, nobody should assume there is a local buyer waiting when a truck comes free.
We buy complete trucks. If the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Small things — a missing bumper — are fine.
Straight answers
The questions we get asked in Bellemont
- Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
- Why are there two entries for one place?Because they are two services. Camp Navajo is an Army National Guard row at 3.89 miles and the Navy observatory station is at 5.57. It is a component split, the sixth in the survey these rows came from, not a duplicate.
- Are the county bridges posted?No. Coconino County maintains 39 bridges and posts none of them for load. The restrictions measured in this area belong to a city and are attached to pits some miles off.
- My truck has worked winters up here.Then tell us about the cooling system, the brakes and the underside, because that is where high-country work shows and it does not show on the odometer.
- What is the axle limit?20,000 lb on a single axle under A.R.S. § 28-1100, with the enforcement tolerance already inside that number. Do not add anything to it.
- What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. Lost titles have a counter replacement; where none exists there’s a bonded route.
Why people call
Those are the mechanics. The reasons behind a call are more personal than that.
Retiring. A medical that did not go the way it used to. A contract that ended, or an outfit that has grown out of one truck and into another and needs the first one gone. With two rows at Bellemont — Camp Navajo 3.89 miles out, the Navy station 5.57 — and no employment recorded against either, there is no depth of local trade here to take a truck off someone quietly.
Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone by the end of the week. That’s what we’re here for, in Bellemont and across Coconino County.
