Oceanside is the north end of San Diego County, between Camp Pendleton and the inland quarries, the Superior Twin Oaks stone quarry east of the city. Of 717 carriers based here, nine in ten run inside California only and a third are private fleets, and after general freight the cargoes they declare most are refuse, household goods and fresh produce. The median carrier reports 18,000 miles a year on each truck, and the roadside inspections put the median truck at model year 2019.
So an Oceanside yard holds a roll-off on the refuse routes, a moving van, a produce reefer, a dump truck off Twin Oaks, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the interstate. Manufacturing is the biggest trucking employer in the city, the biggest fleet based here runs nearly two hundred power units, and San Diego County's farms lead with foliage, potted plants and cut flowers, so a nursery box truck works the county too.
Plaza Drive
The DMV field office at 4005 Plaza Drive handles 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.
A refuse truck is two serial numbers, the chassis and the body, so photograph the body maker's plate as well as the VIN on the door jamb; a reefer is read through the unit and its hours, a quarry dump truck through the bed and the frame. Then the cab, the engine and the odometer, and tell us the route, the quarry or the lane it worked and whether the trailer goes with it.
Pacific Terrace at thirteen feet five
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. Oceanside's own list is 70 bridges, none posted for load and one under fourteen feet, Pacific Terrace over Cassidy Street at thirteen feet five, so a tall moving van here has one structure to know and a quarry truck answers to the scale.
Tell us where the truck is in Oceanside, by the rail yards, out east toward Twin Oaks or on the Pendleton side of town, and send photos and the title.
