Jefferson Parish
Where Timberlane sits
Timberlane is in Jefferson Parish, and the census counts 10,886 people here, at 7,238 per square mile, with a median age of 32.2 years.
What we know about Timberlane is what the census records and what Louisiana 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.
Louisiana weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Louisiana sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Louisiana, the trailer must carry an additional single axle — six axles for the combination.
In Louisiana the special farm or forest product permit is up to 100,000 lb for a combination.
In Louisiana the INTERSTATE harvest season permit weight limit is 83,400 lb on the interstate system, for farm and forest products in their natural state and other specified commodities.
So what leaves Timberlane
That rule meets 10,886 people in Timberlane, Jefferson Parish, at a household median around $65,901 and a density of 7,238 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.
