Heavy Duty Towing in Corona, CA

Heavy Duty Towing in Corona deals with a different mix than the warehouse towns to the north: aggregate trucks, asphalt haulers, manufacturing deliveries and commuter-clogged freeways. Corona is a Riverside County city of 157,136 people (2020 census) at 679 feet, about 48 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The town was founded as a colony in 1886 and renamed Corona in 1896. Dispatch answers 24/7.

Three highways and a bottleneck

State Route 91, Interstate 15 and State Route 71 serve the city. The Riverside Freeway, SR 91, meets I-15 at exit 51 and SR 71 north toward Ontario and Pomona at exit 45. Wikipedia says the 91 is "subject to high traffic volumes" that traffic reporters call the Corona Crawl, driven by commuters crossing the Santa Ana Mountains. Before the toll lanes, peak delays ran 30 to 40 minutes in each direction over about ten miles. The 91 Express Lanes, 18 miles of HOT lanes in the median from SR 55 in Anaheim to I-15 in Corona, only have entry and exit points at their west and east ends. If you are stopped in the express lanes, tell us. Access is limited, so the dispatcher explains what is possible before anyone rolls.

The industrial northern half

The northern half of Corona is industrial. Wikipedia lists Fender, Monster Beverage, Saleen, Circle K and TCL as companies with headquarters in the city. Heavy industry includes All American Asphalt, 3M, Martin Marietta, Vulcan Materials and FST Sand & Gravel. Aggregate and asphalt trucks are dump trucks, bottom dumps, belly dumps and transfers. When one of them goes down on a plant road, the load can be hot asphalt or wet gravel. Tell us which, and tell us the weight.

Santa Ana Canyon

Corona sits at the upper end of the Santa Ana River Canyon, a major pass through the Santa Ana Mountains. Cleveland National Forest lies to the west, southwest and south. The western canyon portion of SR 91 is a State Scenic Highway. A weigh station serves both directions between the Imperial Highway and Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road exits, west of Corona.

Fire and wind

Santa Ana winds blow two or three times a year from October to December, according to Wikipedia. The 2008 Freeway Complex Fire started at the Yorba Linda and Corona city limit. During fire weather, closures can change which road we can use to reach you, so tell us exactly where you are and what you see.

Rail and transit

Metrolink serves Corona on the 91/Perris Valley Line and the Inland Empire-Orange County Line, with stations at Corona-North Main and Corona-West.
