Maine's freight works the coast and the woods. There are ports at Portland and Searsport, petroleum terminals at Searsport and South Portland, and liquid-bulk terminals at Auburn and South Portland. Rail yards run at Millinocket, Brownville Junction, Hampden, Mattawamkeag and Bradley, dimension-stone quarries work at Castine and North Berwick, and sand-and-gravel pits are spread inland.
We don't specialize, and a state that works this range of trades is why. An International box truck out of Portland, a Western Star log truck off a Millinocket job, a Freightliner day cab running south or a Chevrolet dually out of Bangor go through the same steps: photos and the details come to us, we send an offer, and if you're happy we'll come to you, buy it remotely, or you can bring it to us.
Maine’s trucking industry is the northernmost state in New England with strong demand for heavy trucks in logging, fishing, and freight industries.
A hundred thousand pounds, if the truck has six axles
Under 29-A M.R.S. § 2354 a 3-axle truck tractor with a tri-axle semitrailer — six axles, with the extreme axles excluding the steering axle at least 36 feet apart — may run up to 100,000 lb. Two cautions belong with that figure rather than after it.
29-A M.R.S. §§ 2354 and 2355-A; 23 U.S.C. § 127(a)(11). Federal exemption status not established.
Recyclers, salvage vehicle dealers and scrap processors carry a 30-day duty to report the destruction of a vehicle to the Secretary of State. If your truck has a brand on it, ask us and we will check it against your actual title rather than a general explainer.
