Cumberland County
Where Shiremanstown sits
Shiremanstown is in Cumberland County, and the census counts 1,777 people here, at 5,807 per square mile, with a median age of 37.6 years.
What we know about Shiremanstown 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 Shiremanstown
That rule meets 1,777 people in Shiremanstown, Cumberland County, at a household median around $75,260 and a density of 5,807 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.
