Oakland is the Bay's working port. The container terminals, OICT, TraPac, Ben E. Nutter and Matson, the Howard terminal and the Oakland International Gateway rail ramp sit on the waterfront, the East Oakland yard handles the carloads, and one job in ten inside the city is in transportation and warehousing. Four in five of the carriers based here work California only, and most of their drivers stay within a hundred miles.
So an Oakland lot holds a day cab draying boxes off OICT, an intermodal tractor out of the East Oakland yard, a reefer, a garbage truck, and the semi truck with a sleeper that takes a box east.
Claremont Avenue and the Coliseum
Two DMV field offices inside the city do title work, 5300 Claremont Avenue and Oakland Coliseum at 501 85th Avenue, 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 carries the gate queue in its clutch, fifth wheel and steps, and the Bay air in its frame rails. Shoot those, then the cab and the engine, and tell us which terminal it worked.
Five low bridges, none posted
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. Oakland's own list is 219 bridges inside the city, none posted for load and five below fourteen feet, the lowest at twelve feet eight where Broadway crosses Golden Gate Avenue, which keeps the tandem box trucks on the avenues.
Tell us where the truck is in Oakland, down by the port, out by the Coliseum and the East Oakland yard or downtown, and send photos and the title.
