Van Buren County
Where Fairfield Bay sits
Fairfield Bay is in Van Buren County, and the census counts 2,515 people here, at 167 per square mile, with a median age of 68.4 years.
What we know about Fairfield Bay 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 Fairfield Bay
That rule meets 2,515 people in Fairfield Bay, Van Buren County, at a household median around $56,594 and a density of 167 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.
