We buy trucks in City View

One rail-yard row is attached here, under Norfolk Southern, 0.66 miles from the centroid of this census designated place. Everything about it points somewhere else.

The row is named Greenville. Its coordinate falls inside Greenville city. Greenville city holds a city page of its own. Name, containing place and page all agree with each other and all three disagree with the attachment, which reached this page by nearest-centroid fallback.

That is about as clean as a misattachment gets, and it is stated rather than smoothed over, because a page that treated the yard as local would be telling a seller in one place about a facility in another.

None of that changes anything about a sale, and it is worth saying so plainly rather than leaving a reader to wonder. Whether the truck is standing in this place or 0.66 miles away inside Greenville makes no difference to us: same state, same paperwork, same collection.

What it does affect is what a page can honestly claim. This one has a single Norfolk Southern row to work from, that row is not really here, and what moves through it could not be determined from any source read for the batch. Every one of the 2,459 rail-yard rows in this dataset is recorded as the mean of a track polyline’s vertices rather than as a surveyed facility point, so a yard is placed where its track averages out and not where its gate is. The radius of 75 miles attached to each row is a constant applied across the whole set and flagged as estimated, not a measurement of this one.

So the useful part of this page is the part that is true anywhere in the county: what we buy, what the state asks for on paper, and how the truck gets collected.

That is the statute’s territory, and it is the same on both sides of the boundary. S.C. Code § 56-5-4140 sets a single axle at 20,000 pounds and two axles four to seven feet apart at 35,200, both written as including all enforcement tolerances, with 80,000 pounds gross on the interstate.

§ 56-5-4160 carries a general ten per cent enforcement tolerance applying to those limits. Because the axle figures are printed as already including tolerance, the relief attaches to the gross and not to the axle.

Unprocessed forest products draw fifteen per cent instead, on non-interstate routes only. The axle-spacing relief covers dump trucks, dump trailers, trucks carrying agricultural products, concrete mixing trucks, fuel oil trucks and line trucks, at 20,000 pounds per axle plus scale tolerances.

What was not established: the general gross and axle schedule off the interstate, seasonal restrictions, whether a posted-bridge list is published, and the bridge layer here, which was not searched.

Beyond the weight rules, the paperwork is that one sentence, and a municipal boundary makes no difference to it. Everything after it is a fix rather than a category: a lost title has a counter replacement, and where none exists there is a bonded route.

§ 56-19-480 sets salvage at repair cost — parts and reasonable market charges for labour — reaching seventy-five per cent of the truck’s market value immediately before the damage, and makes salvage and total loss the same term with no age limb at all. § 56-19-485 brands the cause as well as the fact: salvage rebuilt, salvage flood rebuilt, or salvage fire rebuilt.

The rebuilt inspection is discretionary — the department may require one by the Highway Patrol rather than always requiring it — and the application asks for the source of the parts used and what they cost.

The lien clock and the lien release, plate return on a sale, and apportioned registration were not established for South Carolina, and nothing is written here about them.

None of that narrows what we will look at. Day cabs and road tractors, dump trucks and aggregate haulers, flatbeds and rollbacks, tankers, service bodies, box trucks and straight trucks, and the pickups and work trucks that go with a crew.

Box trucks and straight trucks are not a city thing in particular — they are everywhere. They are on the list because we buy them here too.

Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them, here and across the line into Greenville where the Norfolk Southern yard 0.66 miles away actually sits.

• Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
• The engine is out of it. Is that different?Yes, and that is the line. A tired engine is fine; an engine that has been pulled out and sold means we can’t buy the truck.
• What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. Lost titles have a counter replacement; where none exists there’s a bonded route.
• My address says Greenville, not City View. Am I on the wrong page?No. The one rail row filed under this page has its coordinate inside Greenville city too, 0.66 miles from the centroid here. Give us the street and we work from that rather than from a boundary.
• Do you come out here?Yes — here, across into Greenville where the Norfolk Southern yard 0.66 miles off actually stands, and the towns around both. We come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us.

Those questions come up because the reasons for selling are mostly personal. Retiring. A medical that went the wrong way. A contract that ended. A truck sitting on a yard since somebody stopped driving it, costing insurance every month it does not turn a wheel.

Here, and across the boundary into Greenville where the Norfolk Southern yard 0.66 miles off actually stands, the same trucks come up for sale for the same reasons.

Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone by the end of the week. That’s what we’re here for.
