Utah's trucks haul rock, ore and coal out of the mountains and freight along the Wasatch Front. In the census FMCSA published in October 2026, close to 24,000 carriers give a Utah address, seven in ten registered for in-state work only and a little over half private fleets. Five thousand carry machinery and large objects, close to three thousand carry logs, poles and lumber, two and a half thousand carry motor vehicles, two thousand carry metal, two thousand carry grain, feed and hay, and two thousand carry farm supplies. That is the ore truck at Bingham Canyon and the Copperton concentrator, a coal truck out of SUFCO or Skyline on the way to the Savage terminal at Wellington, the semi truck draying boxes out of the Salt Lake intermodal yard, a heavy-haul tractor moving a shovel between pits, the belly dump out of one of 73 sand and gravel pits in the towns our data covers, a cattle hauler in the Uinta Basin, the salt truck at Redmond, and the pickup a private fleet runs on its own work. We'd make an offer on each of those.
Where the work is: containers go onto rail at Salt Lake City's west side ramp, the racks at North Salt Lake, Woods Cross, Tooele, Ogden, Cedar City and Sutherland fill the tankers, and cement comes out of Devil's Slide at Henefer and Leamington. Stone comes from quarries at Spring Lake, Santaquin, Delta, Milford, Morgan and Mantua, the industrial minerals from Eureka, Nephi, Randlett, Vernal, Redmond and the Bonanza mines, and the metal from Bingham Canyon, Eureka, Milford, Lisbon Valley, Spanish Valley and Wendover, with the White Mesa mill at Blanding. The coal mines sit at Emery and Scofield with the preparation plants at Clawson and Wellington. The nineteen rail yards run from Roper, North Yard and the intermodal yard in Salt Lake, Ogden and Riverdale to Provo, Springville, Helper, Price River at Wellington, Brigham City, Logan and Lynndyl. Hill Air Force Base, Dugway, the Tooele Army Depot and Camp Williams keep military fleets. Cattle are the top farm product in nineteen of the 29 counties in USDA's 2022 census and milk in seven, so the cattle hauler and the milk tanker belong here too. Give us the town and say whether we collect it, buy it where it sits, or you bring it down the canyon.
Ten thousand five hundred on a wheel
Utah writes its weight law from the wheel up. Section 72-7-404 sets 10,500 pounds on any one wheel, 20,000 on a single axle and 34,000 on a tandem, with the gross capped at 80,000 and every group of axles held to the federal bridge formula, two consecutive tandems carrying 34,000 each where the first and last axles are 36 feet or more apart; a tire, wheel or axle may never carry more than its manufacturer's rating.
The one allowance in the section is for implements of husbandry carrying a raw crop, 2,000 pounds over on a single axle with the gross unchanged. A gravel train on the bridge formula, a tandem dump truck at the Utah numbers, a heavy-haul tractor on permits and a dually that never saw a scale are four trucks and one offer.
Online, or at the county
A lost Utah title is replaced online through the Motor Vehicle Portal, and the DMV and county offices take it in person, any of them for any customer: in Taylorsville at 4315 South 2700 West, in Draper at 14555 South Minuteman Drive, in Provo at 150 East Center Street, in Ogden at 2447 Lincoln Avenue, in Logan at 179 North Main in the courthouse, in Farmington at 969 West Clark Lane, in Hurricane at 100 South 5300 West for Washington County, in Cedar City at 82 North 100 East.
Request the duplicate, then write to us; one doesn't wait on the other. A lien comes off ahead of everything else, and the lender's figure is the slow part. A branded title is a thing to tell us in the first message and nothing more. The message is short: year, make, model and VIN, photos from every side, a photo of the title, and the town. Sleeper, day cab, heavy-haul tractor, dump truck, roll-off, mixer, garbage truck, wrecker or rotator, log truck, tanker, boom or crane truck, box truck, straight truck, utility truck, pickup or dually: an offer follows for any of them.
