LaPorte County
Where Wanatah sits
Wanatah is in LaPorte County, and the census counts 1,178 people here, at 842 per square mile, with a median age of 35.4 years.
What we know about Wanatah 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 Wanatah
That rule meets 1,178 people in Wanatah, LaPorte County, at a household median around $68,409 and a density of 842 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.
