Lewiston is a mill city on the Androscoggin, and its trucks still answer to the plants and the dairies. Manufacturing is one job in thirteen inside the city, the highest share of any Maine city we write about, and milk leads the county's farm products by a wide margin. Two in three carriers based here are private fleets.
A Lewiston yard holds a milk tanker, a machinery hauler, a car hauler, a log truck, a dump truck from the Auburn pits across the river, a garbage truck, and a semi truck with a sleeper on the run south.
Mollison Way
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch at 36 Mollison Way, Suite 1, takes the title application and the transfer paperwork; a duplicate title goes online or by mail to Augusta. Liens and brands are handled as the Maine page describes.
Salt and the mill-town streets do the aging: frame rails, crossmembers and cab corners first, then the drivetrain. Get those close, then the cab and the engine, and tell us the run it made.
One posted bridge and Chestnut Street over the canal
Maine lets a six-axle rig run a hundred thousand pounds off the interstate, well above the federal limit of 80,000 pounds, as the Maine page explains. Lewiston's inventory is 38 bridges, one posted and one clearance under fourteen feet, Chestnut Street over the Main Canal at twelve feet four, which the mill trucks learned long ago.
Tell us which side of the river the truck is on, Lewiston or Auburn, and send photos and the title.
