Clarksville is a quarry and base town: the Clarksville Quarry sits on the south edge of the city, and Fort Campbell and its rail yard to the north-west. Of 559 carriers based here, more than half run interstate, and after general freight the cargoes they declare most are motor vehicles, machinery and logs and lumber.
So a Clarksville yard holds a dump truck off the quarries, a car hauler, a lowboy with machinery and a log truck. The semi truck with a sleeper works the interstate. Manufacturing is the biggest trucking employer in the city, and Montgomery County's farms lead with soybeans, corn and hogs, so a grain truck and a hog hauler work the farm lanes too.
Lost title in Clarksville
In Tennessee a duplicate title comes from the county clerk, and in Clarksville that is the Montgomery County Clerk at Veterans Plaza, 350 Pageant Lane, Suite 502. A farm truck is often titled to a family member or the farm itself, so the name on the title is the one to check first. The bonded title for an older truck, the lien and the brand are on the Tennessee page. A soldier leaving Fort Campbell can name whoever holds the keys and the title, and the sale goes through that person.
A quarry tri-axle is read through the bed, the hoist and the springs, a car hauler through the deck and the ramps, a log truck through its bunks and its frame. Photograph those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer. Tell us the pit, the yard or the lane it worked and whether the trailer goes with it.
Weight limits in Clarksville
Tennessee grants a ten percent margin off the interstate to some loads and not to crushed stone, and the Tennessee page has the list beside the federal 80,000 pounds. Clarksville's own list is short: two of its 43 bridges carry a load posting and none sits under fourteen feet, so a quarry truck here answers to the scale and two signs.
Tell us where the truck is in Clarksville, south by the quarries, out toward Fort Campbell or on a Montgomery County farm, and send photos and the title.
