Starke County
Where Knox sits
Knox is in Starke County, and the census counts 3,479 people here, at 879 per square mile, with a median age of 43.6 years.
What we know about Knox is what the census records and what Indiana 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.
Indiana weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Indiana sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
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).
So what leaves Knox
That rule meets 3,479 people in Knox, Starke County, at a household median around $48,931 and a density of 879 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.
