Columbia has a short list of carriers and one enormous fleet on it. 255 active carriers with at least one truck are based here in FMCSA's November 2026 census. The biggest of them is why the drivers reported in the city work past a hundred miles two and a half to one. After general freight the cargoes they declare most are machinery, passengers and motor vehicles.
So a Columbia yard holds a bus on the passenger routes, and a heavy-haul tractor under machinery for the plants. A dump truck cycles to the Columbia West quarry four miles north-west. A tanker fills at the Columbia rack to the south-east, and the semi truck with a sleeper comes from the big fleet. Boone County's 1,120 farms lead with soybeans, corn and wheat, so a grain truck works the same roads in the fall, and 404 contractors keep a pickup or a dump truck each.
Lost title in Columbia
A lost title in Missouri is replaced through the Department of Revenue's license offices. In Columbia those are at 403 Vandiver Drive, Suite B, and 1101 Grinstone Parkway, Suite 103, on the south side, and the title transfer is signed the same way.
A bus is read through the body, the doors and the lift as well as the chassis. A fleet sleeper is read through the drivetrain and the bunk, a quarry dump truck through the bed and the springs. Photograph those first, then the cab or the dash, the engine and the odometer, and tell us the route, the lane or the quarry it worked.
Weight limits in Columbia
Columbia's own list is 91 bridges, 13 posted for load and none under fourteen feet. A grain truck on the county roads has read its share of signs, and a fleet sleeper has only read the scale. For the limits themselves, Missouri's and the federal table, a Columbia seller reads the Missouri page.
Tell us where the truck is in Columbia, out by the quarry, down by the rack or in a fleet lot off the interstate, and send photos and the title.
