General freight leads the Bonita carrier list
General freight is the cargo declared by 42 of the 98 active Bonita motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor or box truck has spent its years on general freight runs out of Bonita, have the title and current California registration together before you call, and we can start from the VIN.
Seven Bonita carriers haul garbage, refuse and trash, seven more move intermodal containers and six carry motor vehicles, according to the same federal carrier census. A refuse body, a container chassis puller or a car hauler from one of those outfits is the kind of equipment we collect, so tell us which of those jobs your truck did and send photos of the body or the deck as well as the cab.
Seventy-eight of the Bonita carriers in FMCSA’s census operate intrastate only, against 20 authorised for interstate work, and 22 are private fleets carrying their own goods. A truck that never left California is titled and registered here, which keeps the paperwork simple: one state title, signed by the owner shown on it.
Two seven-tractor outfits and a five-tractor one
The three biggest fleets on Bonita addresses run seven, seven and five power units, per FMCSA’s carrier census, with nine, seven and six drivers. Whatever the size of your outfit, the person named on the title signs it, so have that person available for the call and on the day of the pickup.
Federal census filings from Bonita carriers count 53 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 131 working beyond it. If your truck is out on a longer run when you decide to sell, give us the place it will be parked when it returns, and we arrange collection there rather than in Bonita.
Model year, odometer and inspection stops
The median Bonita truck pulled over for a check between September 2024 and August 2026 was a 2016 model, on FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 144 trucks. Put the model year and engine make in your first message along with the VIN, since those three details answer most of what we ask first.
In the same FMCSA roadside inspection records, 43.75 percent of the inspected Bonita trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, include any service records you kept, as they let us read the truck’s history alongside the photos.
Twenty-three Bonita carriers gave annual mileage on FMCSA’s census filings, and their median truck logged 24,030 miles in a year. Send a clear photo of the odometer with your other pictures so the reading on the dash and the one you give us match.
Port, rail and fuel terminals to the west
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Port of San Diego’s National City Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, 6.6 miles west of Bonita, and the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal 8.6 miles out. If your truck is parked at a yard near either terminal, give us the gate contact and the lot owner’s name, and we collect it there.
Honda Terminal Yard, a rail yard listed by the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits 6.6 miles west of town. A car hauler that loads vehicles off that yard can be picked up near it, so tell us where it is kept between runs.
Two petroleum product terminals, San Diego Terminal and San Diego, stand 7.9 and 8 miles west of Bonita on Energy Information Administration listings. For a fuel truck or tanker tractor that has worked those racks, keep the tank inspection papers in the cab next to the title and send us a copy.
Sand, gravel and Bonita building crews
Chula Vista Quarry, a sand and gravel operation 5.8 miles south of Bonita, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and transfer trucks that load there are often parked at the contractor’s yard; tell us whose ground it is on, and that someone can unlock the gate on pickup day.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 53 construction establishments in Bonita, and LEHD job counts for 2023 put 309 of the area’s 2,455 jobs in construction, a 12.6 percent share. If your water truck, flatbed or dump body has worked those jobs, photograph the body, the hoist and the plate before you contact us.
Foliage, potted plants and flower growers nearby
Foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers head the product list for San Diego County’s 4,031 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. If a box truck or reefer moving nursery stock is yours, it needs its title and registration in the grower’s name, so check whose name is printed on each.
A grower’s truck in San Diego County can be collected at the farm rather than in Bonita. Give us the farm address and the hours someone is there, and we schedule the pickup to suit.
