Heavy Duty Towing in Rialto, CA

Heavy Duty Towing in Rialto centers on the warehouses on the north side of town. Rialto had 104,026 people in the 2020 census, up from 99,171 in 2010, and covers 24.09 square miles at about 1,348 feet, roughly 56 miles east of Los Angeles. Wikipedia places the city between Interstate 10 and State Route 210 and near Interstate 15 and Cajon Pass. Voters approved incorporation on October 31, 1911, by 135 to 72, and the city incorporated November 17 of that year.

The warehouse list

Wikipedia names regional distribution centers in the northern Las Colinas area for Staples, Amazon, Under Armour, Medline Industries, Niagara Bottling, Monster Energy and Target. It links the city's recent growth to those distribution centers. That is a lot of trailers moving between a small number of gates. A truck that fails in line at a dock, on a staging road or at a gate is a recovery with little room.

Beverage and medical loads

Niagara Bottling and Monster Energy mean heavy liquid loads. Water and cans are among the heaviest freight on a per-trailer basis, and a loaded bottled-water trailer is nowhere near a light tow. Medline Industries is a medical supply company, so shipments may be time-sensitive. Tell us what is aboard and who needs it, so your dispatcher can decide whether to bring a second tractor.

Fireworks and special cargo

Pyro Spectaculars, a major fireworks company, is headquartered in Rialto. Fireworks shipments can be regulated hazardous materials, and any truck carrying placarded cargo needs a different plan. If your load is placarded, tell us the class and the shipping papers before we dispatch, and keep the papers where responders can find them. Do not move the load yourself.

Rail beside the road

Metrolink's San Bernardino Line serves the Rialto station, and Union Pacific tracks run above First Street. Rail crossings are a real hazard for low-clearance trailers and lowboys that can hang up on a crossing hump. If your trailer has grounded on a crossing, tell us immediately. Call the railroad's emergency number posted at the crossing, then call us.

Approaching from the freeways

Because the city sits between I-10 and SR-210, trucks normally enter from one or the other and travel surface streets to the warehouses. Most Rialto calls start on a surface street, not a shoulder. Give us the two cross streets and the direction you were heading.

Before you call

Dock and gate etiquette

Warehouses often limit who can enter and when. Before we arrive, ask the facility whether the tow crew needs a gate pass or an escort, and have the contact name ready. It saves us a wait at a locked gate.

Have the street, the direction, the unit type, the weight class, the load and the problem ready. Tell us who pays. Dispatch answers 24/7 and gives an honest arrival estimate on the call. Call (909) 552-8200 or
