Milwaukee is a factory town that hauls what it makes. Manufacturing is one job in eleven inside the city. After general freight the biggest cargoes its carriers declare are motor vehicles and driveaway, the new trucks and the cars leaving the plants. Three in four of the city's carriers work Wisconsin only.
So the Milwaukee truck is a car hauler or a driveaway tractor, a steel hauler with coil racks or a tanker loading at Jones Island. A garbage truck works a city route, and a dump truck comes out of the Franklin pit. A semi truck with a sleeper works the lanes out of the city, and its title comes in the post from Madison.
Lost title in Milwaukee
Wisconsin prints every title in Madison and mails it, so a duplicate is ordered and arrives in the post. Milwaukee's three service centers, 2701 South Chase Avenue, 6073 North Teutonia Avenue and 7301 West Mill Road, take the application and the title transfer. The lien and the seven-year salvage rule are on the Wisconsin page.
A Milwaukee truck has spent its winters on salted streets 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.
Weight limits in Milwaukee
Wisconsin writes its weight law around the cargo, milk and logs and scrap each with their own axle figure under the federal 80,000 pounds, and the Wisconsin page has the list. Milwaukee's own fact is that only two of its bridges carry a load posting but twelve sit under fourteen feet, the lowest on the Stadium Freeway over the stadium access road. A milk tanker that ran its allowance and a pickup that never weighed in get the same offer.
Tell us whether the truck is near the Muskego yard, down by Jones Island or up on the north side, and send photos and the title.
