Jacksonville is a port, a rail town and a long-haul town at once. Nearly one job in eleven inside the city line is in transportation and warehousing. The carriers that report where their drivers go put eight times as many interstate drivers beyond a hundred miles as inside it. A Jacksonville semi truck is likelier than most to be a sleeper that comes home on weekends.
The rest of the fleet works the river. Day cabs dray containers off Blount Island and Dames Point, car haulers load off the roll-on berths, and log trucks come in from the pine country. Dump trucks follow the construction trade across a city that covers more than seven hundred square miles, and the Navy at Mayport and NAS Jacksonville keeps fleets of its own.
Lost title in Jacksonville
Duval County runs seven motor vehicle service centers inside the city. They are 231 East Forsyth Street downtown and the offices on Beach Boulevard, West Beaver Street, San Jose Boulevard, Roosevelt Boulevard, North Main Street and Soutel Drive. Any of them replaces a lost title and takes the title transfer.
A port truck and a highway truck wear differently, the port truck at the fifth wheel and the steps and the highway truck in the sleeper and the drivetrain. Photograph the cab, the frame, the engine and the body, and tell us which Jacksonville truck it was.
Weight limits in Jacksonville
Jacksonville's own fact is that 31 of its bridges carry a load posting and eight sit under fourteen feet, the lowest on State Road 10A at Palmetto Street. A tri-axle dump truck that worked the posted side of the river has read every one of them. A Jacksonville truck's limits are Florida's, and they sit with the federal table on the Florida page.
Tell us where the truck is in Jacksonville, near the port on the north side, out by Baldwin or down by Mayport, and send photos and the title.
