Corona is a building town with the pits on its doorstep, All American Aggregates and the Corona Plant on its east edge. Construction is the biggest trucking employer, one job in six inside the city. Of 2,048 carriers based here, four in five run inside California only, and after general freight the cargoes they declare most are refrigerated food, meat and fresh produce. The biggest fleet based here runs more than twelve hundred power units, and the median carrier reports 31,500 miles a year on each truck.
So a Corona yard holds a dump truck off the pits, a mixer for the jobsites, a reefer, a day cab running loads off Corona Yard north-east of downtown, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the freeway. Manufacturing is close behind construction in the city, Riverside County's farms lead with milk, mushrooms and cotton, and a quarter of the trucks the roadside inspectors stop are ten years old or more.
Corona has no DMV field office of its own on the state's list; the Norco office at 3201 Horseless Carriage Drive handles a duplicate title and the title transfer, and every owner listed on the title signs it. The five-day notice of sale, the lien and the clean-truck rules are on the California page.
A pit dump truck is read through the bed, the tailgate and the springs, a mixer through the drum and the chutes, a reefer through the unit and its hours. Photograph those first, then the cab, the engine, the VIN plate and the odometer, and tell us the pit, the yard or the lane it worked, with any roadside inspection sheet you kept.
State Route 91 over Main Street
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. Corona's own list is 76 bridges, none posted for load and one under fourteen feet, State Route 91 over Main Street at eleven feet eight, so a tall box truck on a Main Street lot knows that underpass before it knows a scale.
Tell us where the truck is in Corona, out east by the pits, up by the yards or on a jobsite, and send photos and the title.
