Burlington is the smallest city we write about, 44,675 people on ten square miles of land, and the trucks that serve it mostly carry someone else's address. Only 36 carriers give a Burlington address, and Chittenden County's freight map is where the trucks actually live: the Burlington rail yard, the fuel terminal in South Burlington and the quarries at Shelburne and Winooski. Milk comes first among the county's farm products.
So the Burlington semi truck is a milk tanker coming in off a Chittenden County dairy, a reefer on a grocery route, a tandem dump truck out of Shelburne or Winooski, a produce truck, a beverage truck, a tanker off the South Burlington terminal, a box truck making deliveries, a garbage truck, or a sleeper that works the lanes south.
Market Street in South Burlington, or form VT-004
Vermont replaces a lost title online, at a DMV office or by mail on form VT-004, and the office that serves the city is South Burlington at 4 Market Street, where the title transfer goes in too; town clerks do not do titles. The lien and the state's salvage clock are on the Vermont page.
A Burlington truck has lived through the winters on salted roads and shows it in the frame rails, the crossmembers, the brake lines and the cab corners. Photograph those with the cab, the engine and the body, and tell us the work it did.
Twenty-four thousand pounds on the road outside
Vermont's general maximum is the federal 80,000 pounds, but the figure that decides most trips here is the 24,000-pound limit on a town highway unless the selectboard posts otherwise, and the Vermont page has the section. Burlington's own list is seven bridges, none posted and none low, so the question in this city was rarely how much a truck could carry and usually which road it could use. A milk hauler that ran the table on I-89 and a dump truck that worked under a town posting are one offer.
Say whether the truck is in town, out by the airport or down in South Burlington by the terminal, send the photos and a photo of the title, and say whether to come for it, buy it where it sits or let you bring it down.
