Fountain County
Where Newtown sits
Newtown is in Fountain County, and the census counts 200 people here, at 397 per square mile, with a median age of 36.6 years.
What we know about Newtown 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 Newtown
That rule meets 200 people in Newtown, Fountain County, at a household median around $59,167 and a density of 397 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.
