We buy trucks in Quinby

One rail-yard row is attached to this place, under CSX Transportation, and it is named for somewhere else. Florence is a separate and much larger city adjacent to this one; the row named for it sits 1.92 miles from the centroid here, with its coordinate in no incorporated place at all, and reached this page by nearest-centroid fallback.

What moves through it could not be determined from any source read for the batch, so nothing is claimed about it. It is not the only row in this state in that position — the yard filed at South Sumter carries its bigger neighbour’s name in exactly the same way.

That is not a one-off, and the scale of it is worth stating because it changes how much weight a name should carry. South Carolina alone contributes four rows named for a place they are not filed under: this one, Bishopville filed at Manville, Sumter filed at South Sumter, and Canadys filed at Grover.

Each is the same mechanism. A coordinate lands outside any incorporated place, the nearest-centroid rule attaches it to whichever centroid is closest, and the name it was given by whoever built the facility stays put. Nothing is wrong; the record simply answers three different questions with three different answers. 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.

The practical version for a seller: tell us the street. A yard name, a filing and a coordinate can disagree without anybody being mistaken, and none of the three is where your truck is parked.

Those roads carry a loaded truck under one statute either way. 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. That absence is a gap rather than a finding.

The paperwork does not suffer from the same ambiguity. It is one sentence, and 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 rail-served 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, in the larger city next door the yard 1.92 miles away is named for, and out past the 75 miles of radius the record nominally attaches to that row.

• 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 Florence, not Quinby. Am I on the wrong page?No, and the record has the same difficulty — the one rail row filed here is named Florence too, 1.92 miles out and in no incorporated place. It is one of four rows in this state named for somewhere they are not filed, alongside the one at South Sumter. Give us the street and we work from that.
• Do you come out here?Yes — here, the larger city next door, 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 around the yard 1.92 miles off that carries the bigger city’s name the way the row at South Sumter carries its neighbour’s, 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.
