Jefferson County
Where Altheimer sits
Altheimer is in Jefferson County, and the census counts 517 people here, at 252 per square mile, with a median age of 57.2 years.
What we know about Altheimer is what the census records and what Arkansas law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Arkansas weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. What Arkansas records here are the conditional limits — what a road, a permit or a commodity allows — rather than one figure covering every truck.
In Arkansas, permit regulations for the state highway system (001.01.92 Ark. Code R. 003).
In Arkansas, machinery used for normal farm purposes may be hauled on a vehicle licensed as a natural resources vehicle without a permit, subject to conditions and distance restrictions.
So what leaves Altheimer
That rule meets 517 people in Altheimer, Jefferson County, at a household median around $42,663 and a density of 252 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
