St. Louis is a river town and a rail town on 62 square miles, and two in three of its carriers are interstate carriers. The city port loads the barges, the Lindenwood ramp and the north-side ramp put the boxes on rail, and seven fuel terminals, First Street among them, fill the tankers. Paper and beverages are the biggest cargoes after general freight.
A St. Louis yard holds a day cab draying boxes off Lindenwood, a beverage truck, a car hauler and a tanker. A flatbed carries steel. A semi truck with a sleeper works the long lanes west.
Lost title in St. Louis
Missouri's license offices in the city, 1208 Washington Avenue downtown and 4628 South Kingshighway, issue a replacement title and record the transfer. The county offices in Olivette, Oakville and on West Florissant do the same.
A beverage truck is read through its bay doors and liftgate; an intermodal day cab through its fifth wheel and clutch. Shoot those, then the cab and the engine, and name the work.
Weight limits in St. Louis
St. Louis's own inventory is 239 bridges, 77 of them posted for load, a third of the list, and eight below fourteen feet. The lowest is eight feet five under the Eads Bridge at First Street, which every riverfront driver knows. The weight law a St. Louis truck works under is Missouri's, with the federal table beside it, and the Missouri page carries both.
Tell us which side of town the truck is on, the riverfront, the near south side or out by Lindenwood, and send photos and the title.
