Clallam County
Where River Road sits
River Road is in Clallam County, and the census counts 756 people here, at 2,148 per square mile, with a median age of 41.1 years.
What we know about River Road is what the census records and what Washington law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Washington weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Washington sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Washington the single axle weight limit is 20,000 lb.
In Washington the two consecutive sets of tandem axles weight limit is 34,000 lb each, if the overall distance between the first and last axles of the consecutive sets is 36 feet or more.
In Washington, w = 500((LN/Nā1) + 12N + 36).
Washington paperwork
Then the paperwork has to match the truck
Those limits decide the route. The title decides whether there is a sale at all.
In Washington, a vehicle whose destruction has been reported to the department under RCW 46.12.600 by an insurer.
In Washington, a vehicle whose destruction has been reported under RCW 46.12.600 by the owner.
In Washington, a vehicle whose certificate of title has been surrendered under RCW 46.12.600 due to destruction or total-loss declaration, or for which there is documentation that it has been declared salvage or damaged to the extent that repair is uneconomical.
So what leaves River Road
Those two rules meet 756 people in River Road, Clallam County, at a household median around $132,841 and a density of 2,148 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
