Portland, Maine is a small city with a working harbor, and the fuel is on the other side of it: the tankers load at the South Portland terminals and the Rigby yard across the harbor puts the rest on rail. Six in ten of the city's carriers are private fleets, and the median carrier reports under 14,000 miles a year on each power unit.
So the Portland semi truck is a tanker loading at South Portland more often than a sleeper, and beside it a log truck down from the north woods, a reefer, a bus, a moving van, a tandem dump truck out of a Gray pit, a milk tanker off a Cumberland County dairy, a garbage truck on a city route.
Presumpscot Street, and a duplicate from Augusta
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch at 125 Presumpscot Street takes the title application and the title transfer, and a duplicate is a different route, online or by mail to the Division of Title Services in Augusta. The lien and the brand are on the Maine page.
A Portland truck has lived through the winters and the salt air at once and shows it in the frame rails, the crossmembers, the brake lines and the cab corners. Photograph those with the cab, the engine and the body, and tell us the work it did.
One hundred thousand pounds, on six axles
Maine lets a six-axle rig run 100,000 pounds off the interstate and keeps its own law on it in place of the federal 80,000 pounds, and the Maine page has the section. Portland's own list is short, one bridge with a load posting and none under fourteen feet, so a six-axle log truck coming into town has nothing to read but the scale. It and a tandem dump truck at the ordinary figures are one conversation with us.
Name the side of the harbor, by the Presumpscot or across the bridge in South Portland, send the photos and a photo of the title, and say whether it should be collected, bought where it stands or driven down to us.
