National City is auto-row central. The Mile of Cars on National City Boulevard is one of the largest dealer concentrations in San Diego County, and flatbed-to-dealer transport between auction lots, trade-ins, and customer drop-offs is a daily routine for us here. Beyond the auto corridor, our work runs the I-5 corridor between Civic Center Drive and Plaza Boulevard, the Westfield Plaza Bonita area, the dense residential grid west of I-5, and the National City Marina and 24th Street port corridor. The 805 and 54 interchange also generates steady shoulder volume. Coverage includes the Mile of Cars, Westfield Plaza Bonita, Kimball Park, and the National City port area. Bilingual dispatch matters here, the community runs roughly 60-plus percent Hispanic/Latino, and most of the drivers sent out handle Spanish-language calls directly.
