Erie County
Where North East sits
North East is in Erie County, and the census counts 4,054 people here, at 3,111 per square mile, with a median age of 43.6 years.
What we know about North East is what the census records and what Pennsylvania 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.
Pennsylvania weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Pennsylvania sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Pennsylvania the general limit is 80,000 lb gross, vehicle or combination (75 Pa.C.S. § 4941).
In Pennsylvania the security is $6,000–$50,000 per linear mile (Types 1–2) · $10,000 per county or municipality (Type 3) (67 Pa. Code ch. 189).
In Pennsylvania, PennDOT posts limits on state-designated highways; local authorities post the rest, on the structural condition of the road (67 Pa. Code ch. 189, under 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 4902, 6103).
So what leaves North East
That rule meets 4,054 people in North East, Erie County, at a household median around $68,828 and a density of 3,111 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.
