Sauk County
Where North Freedom sits
North Freedom is in Sauk County, and the census counts 716 people here, at 854 per square mile, with a median age of 31.2 years.
What we know about North Freedom is what the census records and what Wisconsin 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.
Wisconsin weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Wisconsin sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Wisconsin the ordinary maximum gross weight limit is 80,000 lb.
Wisconsin paperwork
Then the paperwork has to match the truck
Those limits decide the route. The title decides whether there is a sale at all.
Wisconsin's salvage definition reaches only a vehicle less than 7 years old. Most of what we buy is a good deal older than that, and for those trucks that definition does not reach them at all, whatever the arithmetic on the repair would say.
In Wisconsin, a former salvage vehicle that passed a Wisconsin inspection by a certified salvage inspector.
In Wisconsin, substantially altered from manufacturer specifications; inspection before registration.
In Wisconsin, as listed on WisDOT's brands page.
So what leaves North Freedom
Those two rules meet 716 people in North Freedom, Sauk County, at a household median around $83,750 and a density of 854 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.
