San Bernardino is the Inland Empire's warehouse floor: more than one job in five inside the city is in transportation and warehousing, the San Bernardino A yard and the intermodal ramp sit inside the city with the B yard at Colton, and the biggest fleet based here runs barely a hundred power units, so the trucks belong to owner-operators and small outfits. Seven in ten of the carriers based here work California only.
After general freight the cargoes its carriers declare most are refrigerated food, fresh produce, containers and paper, so a San Bernardino yard holds a day cab draying boxes off the ramp, a reefer, a produce truck, a box truck on the paper and beverage routes, and the semi truck with a sleeper on the long lanes east. The median carrier reports 37,000 miles a year on each power unit, the San Bernardino plant at Muscoy puts a dump truck on the roads, and the county's dairies put a milk tanker beside it.
The DMV field office at 1310 North Waterman Avenue 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 are covered on the California page.
Heat and short cycles are the San Bernardino wear: cooling system and belts for every truck, the fifth wheel and clutch for the ramp day cab, the unit hours for the reefer. Open the hood for the camera first, then walk the body, and tell us whether it worked the ramp, the warehouses or the highway.
A hundred and eighty bridges, none posted, none low
California holds the federal 80,000 pounds on the interstates and its own axle table on state roads, both on the California page. San Bernardino's own list is clean: 180 bridges inside the city, none posted for load and none below fourteen feet, so a tandem day cab here reads the scale and nothing on a sign.
Tell us where the truck is in San Bernardino, by the A yard and the ramp, out by Muscoy or down toward Colton, and send photos and the title.
