Reno is a warehouse town in the high desert: one job in fourteen inside the city is in transportation and warehousing and one in seventeen in construction. Half the carriers based here run interstate and nearly half are private fleets. The North Reno and Sparks yards and the Sparks rack are the freight map.
After general freight the cargoes its carriers declare most are machinery, lumber, steel coil and refrigerated food. So a Reno yard holds a machinery hauler, a flatbed with lumber, a steel hauler and a dry-bulk tanker. The semi truck with a sleeper works the interstate over the pass, and the Mustang and Spanish Springs quarries put a dump truck on the roads.
Lost title in Reno
The Nevada DMV at 9155 Double Diamond Parkway replaces a lost title and records the title transfer; the AAA branches do not. Liens and brands are covered on the Nevada page.
A Reno truck climbs and winters, so the turbo, the cooling, the brakes and the frame rails after the salt carry the story. Photograph the engine bay and the brake drums before the body, and tell us whether it ran the warehouses, the quarries or the pass.
Weight limits in Reno
Nevada's axle-group table runs far above the federal 80,000-pound gross off the interstate, as the Nevada page explains with the chain rule. Reno's own list is 202 bridges, two posted for load and three below fourteen feet. The lowest is twelve feet one where Bridge Street crosses the Truckee River downtown, which keeps the tandem box trucks on the other crossings.
Tell us where the truck is in Reno, by the North Reno yard, out by Double Diamond on the south side or over toward Sparks, and send photos and the title.
