Freight, chassis and car haulers in Inglewood
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 1,304 active carriers with an Inglewood address, and 482 of them list general freight as a cargo. If your box truck, straight truck or tractor has carried mixed freight around the South Bay, tell us the make, model year and VIN when you first get in touch, and send a few photos of the cab and the frame.
Of those Inglewood carriers, 87 haul intermodal containers and 65 move motor vehicles, according to the same federal census. A day cab that has pulled container chassis or a car carrier that has moved vehicles around the South Bay is the kind of equipment we collect here; have the registration card and the title in the same folder before we arrive.
Among them, FMCSA’s census also lists 54 local carriers that move people rather than cargo. If you are selling a bus or shuttle rather than a tractor, say so at the start so the right questions come back to you.
Where Inglewood trucks spend the week
Most Inglewood operations stay inside California: FMCSA records 1,111 intrastate carriers here against 188 interstate ones, plus 152 private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck carries only a California registration, that registration and a clear title are the two documents we look at first.
Driver counts in the federal carrier census split 1,149 working within 100 miles of base and 1,340 going beyond it. A truck that comes home to an Inglewood yard each night is simple to reach; one that is parked out of state between loads can be collected where it sits, as long as you give us the address and someone who can open the gate.
For the 193 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median is 20,000 miles a truck each year. Note the odometer reading when you send photos, and include any service records you keep, so the history arrives with the pictures.
Rail yards and fuel racks around Inglewood
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places El Segundo Yard 4.3 miles south-west of Inglewood and Alcoa Yard 7.2 miles south. If your tractor has worked drayage out of either yard, let us know whether it is parked on a rail property or a private lot so access can be arranged before pickup.
East of town, the Hobart rail intermodal ramp in Los Angeles is 9.6 miles away on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Container chassis movers that shuttle between Hobart and South Bay warehouses can be collected at the yard where they park; send the yard address and a contact name.
Two petroleum product terminals sit close by, according to the Energy Information Administration: one in El Segundo 5.1 miles south-west and one in Los Angeles 5 miles south-east, with Titan Terminal and Transport, a liquid bulk terminal, 9 miles east per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If you are selling a tanker tractor that loaded at these racks, keep its terminal access and inspection paperwork with the title.
How old the Inglewood fleet runs on paper
Across 322 Inglewood trucks stopped between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2020. Give us the exact model year from the title when you contact us; it is printed beside the VIN.
In those same roadside inspections, 22.7 percent of the Inglewood trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, the title, the registration and a set of clear photos are what we need to begin.
Fleet sizes in town range widely: FMCSA’s census shows one Inglewood operation running 1,792 power units with 259 drivers, and the next two running 42 and 36 power units. Owner-operators with a single tractor and fleets retiring several units both sell to us; list every VIN if you have more than one truck.
The work that keeps trucks moving
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 33,424 jobs in Inglewood, with 3,196 of them, 9.6 percent, in transportation and warehousing. If your box truck or tractor has served warehouse work in the city, tell us the body length and whether it has a lift gate.
Manufacturing accounts for 1,780 local jobs and wholesale trade 693 in those 2023 LEHD figures, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 86 construction establishments and 7 warehousing ones. Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake beds from construction work are on our list; tell us the body type along with the chassis.
Construction work in the city counted 660 jobs in 2023, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If your truck carries a crane, lift gate or other mounted equipment, photograph it and include its make and serial plate.
California truck rules and local bridges
The California Air Resources Board’s rulemaking record shows the Advanced Clean Fleets drayage, high priority and federal fleet requirements repealed, while a federal court filing in the Eastern District of California shows enforcement of the 2036 100 percent zero-emission sales requirement paused. The Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is listed by the board as contested; a seller here needs only the title and registration to sell to us, whatever its engine year.
Of the 16 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists in Inglewood, none is load-posted and none has under 14 feet of clearance. Give us the street address where the truck is parked and we will plan the route to it.
