Phoenix is built on sand and gravel. Maricopa County has more than thirty sand and gravel plants in the federal lists, and the city has about as many construction jobs as warehouse jobs, which is not true of most big cities. The dairies around the Valley put milk first among the county's farm products by a wide margin.
So the Phoenix truck is a belly dump or a transfer dump running from the 19th Avenue pits to a jobsite, a mixer, a milk tanker off a dairy, a car hauler, a garbage truck, a flatbed carrying rebar to a slab pour. A semi truck with a sleeper runs the long lanes out of the state, and seven in ten of the city's carriers never do.
Three MVD offices and a fifteen-day clock that is ours
Phoenix has three MVD offices, at 4005 North 51st Avenue, 20626 North 26th Avenue and 221 East Olympic Drive at South Mountain, and the third-party offices take title work too. Arizona gives a buyer fifteen days to apply for the title, so once the truck changes hands that clock is ours; the duplicate, the lien and the salvage brand are on the Arizona page.
A Phoenix pit truck has worked in heat and dust and shows it in the cooling system, the air filtration, the paint and the body. Photograph the engine bay and the radiator with the cab, the frame and the dump body or tank, and tell us what it hauled.
No posted bridges in the Valley
Arizona writes the enforcement tolerance inside its axle figure rather than on top of it, and the Arizona page has the statute beside the federal 80,000 pounds. Phoenix's own fact is that none of the city's bridges carries a load posting, and the lowest clearance on its list is a parking entrance at Sky Harbor, not a truck road. A belly dump that ran the pit roads at the limit and a dually that never saw a scale get one offer.
Tell us which part of the Valley the truck is in, send the photos and a photo of the title, and say whether we come to the yard, buy it where it stands or meet you. Nothing more is asked of a Phoenix seller.
