Henry County
Where Ridgeville Corners sits
Ridgeville Corners is in Henry County, and the census counts 279 people here, at 305 per square mile, with a median age of 53.1 years.
What we know about Ridgeville Corners is what the census records and what Ohio law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Ohio weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Ohio sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Ohio the base limits are 80,000 lb gross · 650 lb per inch width of pneumatic tyre · non-interstate axle groups to 40,000 lb on two axles and 48,000 lb on three, by spacing (ORC 5577.04).
In Ohio, a surface mining truck transporting minerals from the place where the minerals are loaded may exceed Ohio's weight provisions by no more than 7.5%. Does not apply on (1) the interstate system, or (2) a highway, road or bridge subject to reduced maximum weights (ORC 5577.043).
In Ohio, farm, log, coal and solid-waste vehicles get their own 7.5%; natural-gas and electric vehicles +2,000 lb — except on the interstate or a weight-restricted road (ORC 5577.042 · 5577.044).
So what leaves Ridgeville Corners
That rule meets 279 people in Ridgeville Corners, Henry County, at a household median around $83,141 and a density of 305 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
