Pittsburgh has forty-two rail yards in its county, from the Thomson Works and Duquesne to Pitcairn, and the trucks fill the gaps between the river, the rail and the mills. Machinery, motor vehicles and logs lead the cargoes its carriers declare after general freight, and three in five of the carriers based here are private fleets.
A Pittsburgh lot holds a steel hauler, a coal truck from the North Camp Run mine, a machinery hauler and a tanker off the Neville Island racks. A dump truck works the city jobs. The sleeper-cab semi truck climbs out of the valleys to the long lanes.
Lost title in Pittsburgh
PennDOT does its title work through its agents, and Pittsburgh has a dozen. They run from the AAA offices on Baum Boulevard and McKnight Road to Jack Maggs on Saw Mill Run Boulevard and the tag offices on Perry Highway. Any of them replaces a title and signs the title transfer.
Hills and salt are the Pittsburgh wear: brakes, driveline, frame rails and cab corners. Photograph those first, then the cab and the engine, and tell us which valley it worked.
Weight limits in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's own inventory is a city of bridges: 299 of them, fourteen posted for load and 27 below fourteen feet. The lowest is eight feet seven under the Sixteenth Street Bridge at Smallman Street, which keeps the Smallman Street trucks low. A Pittsburgh truck's limits are Pennsylvania's, and they sit with the federal table on the Pennsylvania page.
Tell us the yard, downtown, down the Mon Valley or out by the airport, and send photos and the title.
