Salt Lake City is a warehouse town with a copper mine at the end of the valley. Nearly one job in ten inside the city is in transportation and warehousing, and the Bingham Canyon mine and the gravel pits from Beck Street to Draper keep the heavy iron busy. More than half the city's carriers are private fleets.
So the Salt Lake City truck is a day cab draying boxes out of the West Valley ramp or a belly dump running from Beck Street to a jobsite. A machinery hauler works the Bingham Canyon road, and a car hauler sits beside it. A tanker fills at the North Salt Lake racks. A semi truck with a sleeper runs the long lanes out of the valley, and the DMV offices at Taylorsville and Draper title it.
Lost title in Salt Lake City
A lost Utah title is replaced online through the Motor Vehicle Portal. The nearest counters to the city for the title transfer are 4315 South 2700 West in Taylorsville and 14555 South Minuteman Drive in Draper. The lien and the brand are on the Utah page.
A Salt Lake truck has worked at altitude and shows it in the turbo, the cooling system, the air filtration and the brakes on the grades. Photograph the engine bay with the cab, the frame rails and the body, and tell us whether it stayed in the valley or went over the passes.
Weight limits in Salt Lake City
Utah writes its weight law from the wheel up to the federal 80,000 pounds, and the Utah page has it. Salt Lake City's own list is eleven bridges with a load posting and two under fourteen feet. The lowest is where Main Street passes over the City Creek parking entrance, which is not a truck road. A gravel train on the bridge formula and a dually that never saw a scale are two trucks and one offer.
Tell us where the truck is in Salt Lake City, out in West Valley, up on Beck Street or down the valley toward Draper, and send photos and the title.
