Caltrans says longer STAA trucks stay on the green network, which is primarily interstates, unless a terminal-access T-sign marks the exit. A campus loop without that sign is a poor bet for a full-size carrier. Set a meeting point. See meeting points. The UC Irvine page is the campus record. It is not a parking pass.
This site's route list includes many Irvine pairs that share the same small competitor count, so they are not treated as a ranking. Census ACS 2024 is the measured flow. Outbound from California: Texas 77,161 (margin of error 9,059), Nevada 53,289 (margin of error 6,970), Arizona 52,383 (margin of error 6,890). California to Texas is the largest. Inbound leaders are Texas, Arizona, and Washington. Registration stays on the California page.
IAA's Anaheim branch is a different city. An Irvine address does not release at that yard unless the sale paperwork says so. Orange County deliveries still follow the same Caltrans access rule as the rest of the state. If the student is at UC Irvine, use the campus address on the order, not the auction page for Anaheim. A truck that later continues to Bakersfield on I-5 can meet chain controls at Tejon Pass. That pass is not part of a local Irvine delivery.
