Santa Clarita is the valley north of Los Angeles, a plant and subdivision town whose trucks stay in the state: six in seven of the carriers based here work California only, the median carrier reports 20,000 miles a year on each power unit, and one job in eleven inside the city is in manufacturing with one in fifteen in construction. One fleet based here runs more than a thousand power units.
After general freight the cargoes its carriers declare most are household goods, machinery, motor vehicles and refrigerated food, so a Santa Clarita lot holds a moving van, a machinery hauler, a car hauler, a garbage truck, and the semi truck with a sleeper that works the lanes north out of the basin.
Newhall Avenue
The DMV field office at 24427 Newhall Avenue in Newhall 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 the grade are the Santa Clarita wear: cooling system, belts and brakes before the drivetrain, and a moving van's box and liftgate on top. Open the hood for the camera first, then walk the body, and tell us whether it worked the plants, the subdivisions or the highway.
Ninety-seven 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. Santa Clarita's own list is clean: 97 bridges, none posted for load and none below fourteen feet, so a tandem machinery hauler here reads the scale and nothing on a sign.
Tell us where the truck is in Santa Clarita, in Newhall, up the valley or out by the plants, and send photos and the title.
