Springfield is the rail and trucking town of the Ozarks, with two rail yards on its north side, Springfield South a mile from downtown and North Springfield beyond it. Of 623 active carriers with at least one truck based here in FMCSA's November 2026 census, three in five run interstate and half are private fleets. After general freight the cargoes they declare most are refrigerated food, meat and machinery.
So a Springfield yard holds a day cab running the rail yards, a reefer, a lowboy with machinery and a dump truck off the Radix Westside quarry west of the city. Springfield's semi truck with a sleeper works the interstate. The biggest trucking employer in the city is manufacturing, with transportation and warehousing behind it.
Lost title in Springfield
Missouri replaces a lost title through the Department of Revenue's license offices, and in Springfield that is the office at 149 Park Central Square, a mile from the city centre. The title transfer is signed the same way.
A rail day cab shows its life at the fifth wheel, the clutch and the steps. A reefer shows its life in the unit and its hours, a quarry dump truck in the bed and the springs. Those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer with the dash lit. Say which yard, quarry or lane it worked and whether the trailer goes with it.
Weight limits in Springfield
Springfield's own list is 142 bridges, 26 posted for load and one under fourteen feet, US 65 over Catalpa Street at thirteen feet ten. The Springfield dump truck has spent its life reading signs. Missouri's own figures and the federal table are on the Missouri page, which is where a Springfield seller finds the arithmetic.
Tell us where the truck is in Springfield, up by the rail yards, out west by the quarries or on a Greene County farm, and send photos and the title.
