Arlington is the plant town between Dallas and Fort Worth, and its trucks carry what the plants make: one job in eleven inside the city is in manufacturing, and after general freight the cargoes its carriers declare most are paper, household goods, dry bulk and refrigerated food. A third of the carriers based here run interstate, and the median carrier reports 44,000 miles a year on each power unit.
So an Arlington yard holds a box truck on the paper routes, a machinery hauler, a reefer, a dry-bulk tanker, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the long lanes. The biggest fleet based in the city runs fewer than two hundred power units, so most of those trucks belong to small outfits.
Arlington has no county tax office of its own on the state's list; the Tarrant County Tax Office at 100 East Weatherford Street in Fort Worth records the title transfer and starts a certified copy of a lost title for the Department of Motor Vehicles. Liens, the bonded route and the diesel emissions exemption are covered on the Texas page.
A paper-route box truck ages in the body, the liftgate and the door seals; a plant flatbed in the deck and the winches. Photograph those first, then the cab and the engine, and tell us the route or the plant it served.
Five posted bridges and Fielder Road over I-30
Arlington runs the Texas statute, the federal 80,000 pounds and the state axle figures the Texas page sets out, over 338 bridges inside the city, five posted for load and two below fourteen feet, the lowest at thirteen feet eight where southbound Fielder Road crosses I-30, which a tandem box truck clears with room to spare.
Tell us where the truck is in Arlington, by the plants, out east toward Grand Prairie or on the south side, and send photos and the title.
