Yavapai County
The one row filed here does not belong here
There is exactly one industrial row in the node list carrying this town’s name, and the honest thing to do with it is throw it out. It is called Portable Crusher No. 1, it is operated by Rango Inc., its commodity reads Iron Ore, and it reports 2 employees.
Three fields in that row point at three different places. The town field says Seligman. The county field says La Paz County, which is in the far west of the state. And the coordinate falls 10.1 miles from Phoenix, in Maricopa County — which is neither of the other two. The central cross-check flagged it for exactly that reason, and its nearest match in the state’s directory of active mines is 6.9 miles away and is a sand and gravel plant on the Phoenix side.
So this page is not going to tell you there is a crusher at Seligman. Seligman is in Yavapai County; the node list files 20 rows under Yavapai County and not one of their coordinates is here. A row filed under a town is a registration address, and an address is not a place on a map.
So what is left is distance, and that is the real fact
Those three disagreeing fields — Seligman, La Paz County, and a coordinate 10.1 miles from Phoenix — leave this town with no measured industry at all, and that is worth saying plainly rather than papering over with a plausible sentence.
What is left is the geography, and it is the thing that actually decides how a truck gets sold here. There is no yard down the road. There is no pit crew that needs a second water truck. When something stops earning in Yavapai County a long way from a metro, with the nearest matching record for Portable Crusher No. 1 turning out to be 6.9 miles from a Phoenix-area sand plant, it does not get moved on in a month — it gets parked, and then it is still there three years later with the insurance still going out.
That is not a complaint about the town. It is the single most useful thing we can tell you about selling one from here, and it is why the section below leads with the option that does not need anyone to drive out.
Arizona weight law
One axle number, and the tolerance is already inside it
Whatever the truck was doing before it stopped, 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 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 run 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. Given how this page opened, inventing a ceiling here would be a poor way to carry on.
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 that, 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, and how it usually goes
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, water trucks, service bodies, box trucks, rollbacks, and the crew pickups behind them. None of that is a Yavapai County speciality — those trucks are everywhere — and that is rather the point: which one you have does not change the offer.
On collection, the honest first answer here is that we buy it remotely and arrange the tow. Nobody has to be standing in the yard for that, and it is the path most deals at this distance take. We do come out and drive it away, and we do come out and tow it, and you are welcome to drive it to us if you are heading that way. But we are not going to lead with the two options that need somebody to make the drive when the whole record for this town is Portable Crusher No. 1, filed under La Paz County, sitting 10.1 miles from Phoenix.
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 Seligman
- 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, and up here there is usually less of it than a buyer expects.
- Will you actually come out here?We do. But most deals at this distance are bought remotely with the tow arranged after, and that is the version we would rather you hear first. Driving it to us stays open too.
- Is there really a mine at Seligman?Not on this record. The one row carrying the town’s name, Portable Crusher No. 1 under Rango Inc., has a coordinate 10.1 miles from Phoenix and a county field reading La Paz County. We will not build a page on it.
- What does the county actually carry?The node list files 20 rows under Yavapai County. None of their coordinates falls at this town, which is why this page talks about roads and paperwork rather than about a local fleet.
- 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. Portable Crusher No. 1 reports 2 employees, and that is the entire workforce on the one row carrying this town’s name — a row that turned out to sit 10.1 miles from Phoenix under a La Paz County heading — so there is nothing local here that quietly takes a truck off someone’s hands.
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 Seligman and across Yavapai County.
