The Inland Empire Trucking Market
The Inland Empire (comprising Riverside and San Bernardino counties) is arguably the warehouse capital of the world. Virtually every container that enters the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach eventually passes through the IE's massive distribution centers. While California regulations are strict, carriers in the IE pay a premium for properly trained drivers who can run drayage and regional dedicated lanes up the I-15 corridor.
The Inland Empire is the #1 drayage and warehousing hub in the US, offering top-tier starting pay for new drivers.
Local Market Stats:
- Average Starting Pay: $78,000 - $86,000
- Key Freight Corridors: I-10, I-15, CA-60
