Moreno Valley is a warehouse town: more than one job in three inside the city is in transportation and warehousing. Some 2,080 carriers are based here, two in three of them California-only, and after general freight the cargoes they declare most are fresh produce, refrigerated food and intermodal containers. The biggest fleet based here runs nearly five hundred power units, and the roadside inspections put the median truck at model year 2018.
So a Moreno Valley yard holds a day cab backing into the dock doors, a produce reefer, a container tractor running chassis to Colton Yard north-west of the city, a dump truck from the Chandler quarry at Gilman Springs, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the interstate. March Air Reserve Base sits on the south-west edge of town, and Riverside County's farms lead with milk, mushrooms and cotton.
Brockton Avenue and Sycamore Canyon, in Riverside
Moreno Valley has no DMV field office of its own on the state's list; the Riverside offices at 6280 Brockton Avenue and 6425 Sycamore Canyon Boulevard handle a duplicate title and the title transfer. The five-day notice of sale, the lien and the clean-truck rules are on the California page; the fleet rules have been repealed or paused, and none of them stops the sale of a diesel tractor registered here.
A dock day cab shows its life at the fifth wheel, the clutch and the steps, a reefer in the unit and its hours, a quarry dump truck in the bed and the springs. Photograph those first, then the cab, the engine and the odometer, and tell us the building, the quarry or the lane it worked and whether a chassis or trailer goes with it.
Warehouse roads and the scale
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. A transfer rig off Gilman Springs that ran to the table and a day cab that never left the warehouse roads are the same conversation with us.
Tell us where the truck is in Moreno Valley, among the warehouses, out by March or east toward Gilman Springs, and send photos and the title.
