Indiana carries a lot of industrial freight. Petroleum terminals run at Burns Harbor, East Chicago, Gary, Hammond and Mount Vernon, and there are ports at Valparaiso and Marengo. Dimension-stone quarries work at Bedford, Oolitic and Bloomington, and rail yards at Avon, Anderson and Butler.
We don't specialize, and that industrial mix is why. A Volvo day cab out of Indianapolis, a Mack Granite off a Bedford quarry, an International box truck near Fort Wayne or a Ford dually out of Evansville all get the same treatment: send photos and the details, an offer comes back, and if it suits you we'll come to you, buy it remotely, or you can bring it to us.
Indiana’s trucking industry is a major manufacturing and logistics state sitting at the crossroads of I-65, I-70, and I-74.
In Indiana the overall cap weight limit is 80,000 lb (IC 9-20-4-1). In Indiana the single axle weight limit is 20,000 lb (IC 9-20-4-1). In Indiana the tandem weight limit is 34,000 lb (IC 9-20-4-1).
Indiana brands a vehicle salvage where repair to a roadworthy state would cost more than 70 per cent of its fair market value immediately before the damage, and the statute names semitrailers explicitly, so a trailer can carry a brand independently of the tractor. Rebuilding requires a state police officer to verify ownership of the major component parts and the source of those parts — a paperwork audit rather than a condition inspection, and a rebuild done without receipts cannot pass it.
