Gilbert is the East Valley's building town: construction is one job in nine inside the town, more than any other truck-using trade, and three in four of the carriers based here work Arizona only. After general freight the cargoes they declare most are machinery, steel coil, lumber and motor vehicles, and the biggest fleet based here runs fewer than three hundred power units, so the trucks belong to small outfits.
So a Gilbert yard holds a machinery hauler, a flatbed with lumber for a subdivision, a steel hauler, a garbage truck, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the interstate lane. The Mesa plants next door put a dump truck on the roads, and the dairies that lead Maricopa County's farm products put a milk tanker south of town.
Valley Auto Drive, in Mesa
Gilbert has no MVD office of its own on the state's list; the Mesa and Gilbert regional office at 4123 East Valley Auto Drive in Mesa issues a duplicate title and records the title transfer, and the third-party offices take title work too. The fifteen-day buyer clock, the lien and the salvage brand are explained on the Arizona page.
Heat is the Gilbert wear: cooling system, belts, dash and seat vinyl go before the drivetrain. Open the hood and the door for the camera first, then walk the body, and tell us whether it worked the subdivisions, the plants or the highway.
Forty-six bridges, none posted, none low
Arizona folds its enforcement tolerance into the axle figure and keeps the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates, as the Arizona page explains. Gilbert's own list is 46 bridges, none with a load posting and none below fourteen feet, so a tandem lumber flatbed here reads the scale and nothing on a sign.
Tell us where the truck is in Gilbert, up by the Mesa line, out east by the plants or down on the south side by the dairies, and send photos and the title.
