Tight-block carries
South Gate streets are tight and driveways run shorter than a truck bed, so load-outs are planned around one parking spot and hand-cart distance. Incorporated January 20, 1923, the city was laid out before container trucks, and the carries reflect that.
Stairs, narrow gates and shared alleys are in the rate, never surcharged after arrival. With 92,726 residents packed into 7.24 square miles, crews batch moves by neighborhood so hourly billing starts when the truck stops, not during the drive across town.
