Lakewood's trucks stay close to home. Of the 826 active carriers with at least one truck based here in FMCSA's November 2026 census, nine in ten work inside Colorado and three in five are private fleets. After general freight the cargoes declared most are machinery, refuse and lumber. Construction is far and away the biggest trucking employer in the city, with 507 contractors on the Census Bureau's list.
So a Lakewood yard holds a dump truck that cycles to the Morrison quarry six miles south-west or the Spec Agg pit to the west. Beside it sit a heavy-haul tractor under machinery, and a garbage truck and a roll-off on the refuse contracts. Now and then the semi truck with a sleeper reaches the Irondale ramp on the north-east side of Denver.
Lost title in Lakewood
Colorado titles through the county, and Jefferson County's Lakewood motor vehicle office is at 2099 Wadsworth Boulevard, Suite K, which replaces a lost title or takes the title transfer.
A quarry dump truck is read through the bed, the hoist and the springs, a heavy-haul tractor through the frame rails and the fifth wheel. A refuse truck is read through the body maker's plate as well as the VIN. Photograph those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer, and tell us the pit, the route or the lane it worked.
Weight limits in Lakewood
Lakewood's own list is open: none of its 55 bridges carries a load posting and none sits under fourteen feet. Beyond the city's own structures, a Lakewood truck answers to Colorado's figures and the federal table, and both are on the Colorado page.
Tell us where the truck is in Lakewood, out toward Morrison, up by the Fryar reserve center or in a contractor's yard off Wadsworth, and send photos and the title.
