Checked facts

The auction branch is in Fremont

IAA lists a Fremont branch, not an Oakland one, on the location list opened today. The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont auction area points at that metro. A car released in Fremont is a Fremont stop. An Oakland house is a different address. Caltrans requires a terminal-access sign before a long STAA truck leaves the interstate onto a local street. Set a meeting point when the street is not signed.

State flows

Census ACS 2024 outbound estimates from California are Texas 77,161 (margin of error 9,059), Nevada 53,289 (margin of error 6,970), and Arizona 52,383 (margin of error 6,890). California to Texas is the largest. Inbound leaders are Texas, Arizona, and Washington. The Fremont page covers the yard hours. Registration stays on the California page.

San Francisco rules stop at the city line

San Francisco bans some commercial vehicles by weight on listed streets and requires a city permit for extralegal dimensions. Those rules are San Francisco's. An Oakland street follows the Caltrans network unless Oakland posts its own limit. This note does not quote an Oakland ordinance.
