Sell your semi truck for cash in Seligman the easy and convenient way

Seligman Quarry records 6 employees, 1.48 miles from the middle of the village. Draw ten miles round it and you get 53 structures — 33 of them from Arkansas and 20 from Missouri.

That is the thinnest ten-mile network measured anywhere in this state, and the majority of it is over the line. Both facts describe the same country. This is the Ozark Plateau, where flat-lying limestone has little relief and few streams worth bridging, so there is simply less to count: 20 Missouri structures here against 607 in the ten miles round Kansas City.

Ten of the 53 carry a posting and ten are coded below legal loads, seven of those county-maintained. The lowest operating rating among them is 3.6 metric tonnes, under an empty tandem dump’s 11.0-tonne tare, so nothing commercial crosses that one at all.

The lowest that does admit a commercial vehicle is 12.6 tonnes, about 13.9 US tons, and it sits 9.74 miles out at the far edge of the circle — roughly 1.6 tonnes of stone over the tare, against the twenty-five a legal 80,000 lb truck carries.

The weight rules below, the salvage definition, the title process: all Missouri, all stopping at the state boundary a mile or two south of here.

What does carry across is the shape of the work. Across Barry County 10 of 93 county-maintained structures fail the load test, a little under the Missouri rate, so on the county numbers this is ordinary ground — thin, but not badly restricted. The routes are long because the country is empty, not because the crossings are shut.

Log trucks and timber rigs off the plateau. Poultry and feed trucks, farm trucks, day cabs, road tractors, flatbeds, rollbacks, box trucks, straight trucks, service bodies, and the work trucks and pickups that go with a crew.

• The Missouri rules on this page are the only ones it describes, and buying the truck is unaffected either way.
• The thin road network is a fact about the plateau rather than about the truck, and we come out to it regardless.
