Long Beach is the port. The container terminals on Piers A, E, G, J and T, the Matson auto yard and the roll-on berths on Piers B, C and F sit inside the city, the ITS, LBC and Pier G rail yards put the boxes straight on rail, and the Alamitos and Carson terminals and the Vopak dock fill the tankers. One job in twelve inside the city is in transportation and warehousing, and four in five of the carriers based here work California only.
So a Long Beach lot holds a day cab draying boxes off Pier J, a car hauler out of the Matson yard, a fuel tanker off Alamitos, a reefer, and the semi truck with a sleeper that takes a box inland and comes back empty.
East Willow Street
The DMV field office at 3700 East Willow Street is the one inside the city for a duplicate title or a title transfer. The five-day notice of sale, the lien and the clean-truck rules, including the pulled-back drayage rule, are covered on the California page.
A port tractor has lived in the terminal queue and shows it at the fifth wheel, the clutch and the steps, with salt air in the frame rails and the electrical connectors. Get those close, then the cab and the engine, and tell us which pier it worked.
Three posted bridges and Wardlow Road
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. Long Beach's own list is 198 bridges inside the city, three posted for load and five below fourteen feet, the lowest at twelve feet where Wardlow Road crosses the El Dorado Park access road, out of the way of every tandem port tractor.
Tell us where the truck is in Long Beach, down by the piers, up on Willow Street or out toward El Dorado, and send photos and the title.
