Two rail-yard rows are attached here and they differ by a single digit. Both are under Palmetto Railways, at 7.71 and 7.89 miles from the middle of town, and both are numbered rather than named.

A facility number is the one suffix that settles this question rather than raising it: a different number means a different facility, so these are two rows about two things and not one row entered twice. Seven such pairs were found in the national scan and this is one of them.

It matters because the alternative reading — one site, double-counted — would halve the amount of activity this page implies. It is worth getting right rather than glossing.

Those two distances are the other thing worth stating. At 7.71 miles and 7.89 miles they are the longest attachments in the batch that produced this data, and both coordinates fall in no incorporated place at all.

That is nearest-centroid fallback doing a lot of work. The rows are filed under this town because it was the closest centroid, not because they are in it, and eight miles is far enough that the distinction is real rather than pedantic.

What either handles could not be determined from any source read, and neither gets a commodity here on the strength of a number. 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.

So if the Palmetto Railways rows themselves needed 7.71 miles and 7.89 miles of reach to land on this page, a truck around here is not necessarily on a street with a name you would recognise. That changes nothing.

We buy trucks remotely and arrange the tow, which takes the drive out of it entirely. We also come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, and you are welcome to bring it to us. Which of those happens depends on where it stands and whether it moves under its own power.

None of them runs on a clock, and none of them needs the truck to be somewhere tidy first.

Whichever way it leaves, a loaded truck runs under one statute. 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 in the same section 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. 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. § 56-19-485 brands the cause as well as the fact, which on this part of the coast means the flood brand is not a hypothetical one.

The rebuilt inspection is discretionary rather than mandatory, 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 Palmetto Railways 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, and the roads out to the two yards 7.71 and 7.89 miles from the middle of town are as ordinary a collection as a driveway.

• 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.
• It has been standing since a flood. Does that change the title?It can. South Carolina records the cause on the brand rather than just the fact, so a flood total loss reads as salvage flood. If it was never written off, standing water is a condition question and not a title one.
• Do you come out here?Yes — the town and the roads out past the two Palmetto Railways yards, 7.71 miles and 7.89 miles off. 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.

Out towards the two Palmetto Railways yards, 7.71 and 7.89 miles from the middle of town, 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.
