Garland is Dallas County's plant town with two intermodal ramps inside it: one job in seven inside the city is in manufacturing, the Dallas intermodal facilities at Garland put the boxes on rail, and construction and wholesale are each about one job in sixteen. Nearly two in three of the carriers based here work Texas only, and the median carrier reports 43,000 miles a year on each power unit.
After general freight the cargoes its carriers declare most are paper, household goods, steel coil and machinery, so a Garland yard holds a day cab draying boxes off the ramps, a machinery hauler, a box truck on the paper routes, a flatbed with steel coil, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the interstate. The biggest fleet based here runs about two hundred power units.
Garland has no county tax office of its own on the state's list; the Dallas County Tax Office at 500 Elm Street, Suite 1200, in Dallas 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.
An intermodal day cab is read through its fifth wheel, clutch and steps; a plant flatbed through its deck and winches. Photograph those first, then the cab and the engine, and tell us the ramp or the plant.
Three posted bridges, none low
Garland runs the Texas statute, the federal 80,000 pounds and the state axle figures the Texas page sets out, over 158 bridges inside the city, three posted for load and none below fourteen feet, so a tandem day cab here reads the scale and three signs and nothing else.
Tell us where the truck is in Garland, by the intermodal ramps, out by the plants or on the north side, and send photos and the title.
