Riverside is a short run from our Ontario base
Our trucks dispatch from 3625 Jurupa Street in Ontario, about 16 miles from downtown Riverside along the 60 and the 91. That distance is why same-day works here without a premium: a pickup requested in the morning from a warehouse near the 215 or a store on Magnolia Avenue is on a truck the same afternoon, not queued for tomorrow's regional run.
The freight we specialise in is the band parcel networks handle badly and full truckload cannot justify — roughly 150 to 1,500 lb, palletized or crated, often oversized. Furniture, appliances, fitness equipment, building materials and commercial machinery, delivered to Riverside businesses and homes with the handling they need.
Three services, one dispatch
Same-day freight
Time-critical pallets and crates between Riverside and the rest of Southern California: a replacement part to a job site, a restock to a store before it opens, a display that has to reach a venue today. Our own trucks run it, which is what makes the window a commitment rather than an estimate.
Heavy final mile
Business and residential deliveries where the last hundred feet are the problem — no dock, a second-floor office, a driveway on a hill. Liftgate and inside placement are standard, the crew is trained for the weight, and you get a photo proof of delivery as soon as the drop is done.
Nationwide LTL
For freight leaving Riverside for another state, our brokerage arm books vetted LTL carriers and stays accountable for the shipment end to end, including the pickup our own truck often makes to consolidate it.
Where we run in Riverside
Downtown and the Arlington corridor, the industrial parks along the 60, 91 and 215, and the residential neighborhoods in between. Riverside is inside our core Inland Empire service area, alongside Ontario, San Bernardino, Corona and Moreno Valley, and connects to our Los Angeles and Orange County lanes on the same day.
How we work
DirectXpress holds both freight broker and motor carrier authority (MC 1801477, USDOT 4539992). Local same-day and heavy final mile runs on our own 26 ft box and straight trucks; longer lanes and nationwide LTL move through vetted partner carriers dispatched from the same board. One company quotes, dispatches, tracks and settles the shipment, so there is one party accountable when a dock closes early or a driveway cannot take the truck.
Liftgate, inside placement, appointment scheduling and proof-of-delivery photos are part of the service, not extras quoted after the fact. Tell us the site — dock or no dock, stairs, gate codes, receiving hours — and the right truck shows up with the right equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you pick up in Riverside and deliver the same day?
- Yes. Riverside is about 16 miles from our Ontario base, so a same-day request placed in the morning is typically picked up and delivered that afternoon within Southern California. Confirm the receiving window when you book and we quote against it.
- Do you deliver to homes in Riverside?
- Yes. Heavy residential final mile is one of our three service lines: liftgate, inside placement and appointment scheduling are included, and the crew is trained for furniture, appliances and fitness equipment in the 150 to 1,500 lb range.
- What if the delivery address has no loading dock?
- Most Riverside deliveries do not. Every truck we dispatch for final mile carries a liftgate, and we ask about stairs, gates and receiving hours before the truck leaves so the drop does not fail at the door.
- Are you a broker or a carrier?
- Both. DirectXpress holds motor carrier authority for its own trucks and broker authority for partner capacity (MC 1801477, USDOT 4539992). Local Riverside runs go on our trucks; nationwide LTL is brokered through carriers we vet.
- How do I get a price?
- Send the pickup and delivery addresses, piece count, dimensions, weight and the receiving window through the quote form or by phone. Liftgate, inside delivery and appointment are priced into the quote, not added afterward.
