El Cerrito was founded by refugees from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, first named "Rust" after its postmaster before being renamed El Cerrito, "little hill," in 1916 for nearby Albany Hill, and incorporated the following year. Long before that, the land was part of Rancho San Pablo, an 1823 Mexican-era land grant of nearly 18,000 acres. Today El Cerrito's elevated BART line and the adjacent Ohlone Greenway both run along the former Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way, a rail-to-transit-to-trail story you can still trace through the city. With hillside neighborhoods, real collector-car interest, and direct I-80 access into the East Bay, Sweet Logistics offers reliable enclosed car shipping here, and Cyndy personally oversees every route.
Coast to Coast Car Shipping
I-80 runs directly through El Cerrito, with San Pablo Avenue serving as the parallel surface arterial connecting Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, and Berkeley, and I-580 close by too. With a population of 26,121 and a median household income of $127,876, well above the national figure, this is a city where enclosed transport for higher-value and collector vehicles is a genuinely common request, alongside standard open trailer moves for daily drivers.
Premium and exclusive vehicle freight
Standard vehicle transport
Heavy vehicle hauling
People often ask us this, and it's a fair question because "car shipping" gets used as a catch-all term. We're not a towing company, and we're not hauling your car around town on a flatbed for a mechanic. Sweet Logistics moves vehicles long distance, nationwide, from El Cerrito to any state in the country, using three main methods depending on what you're shipping and what you need.
Open trailer transport is the standard option and what most customers choose. Your car rides on a multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles, exposed to the weather the same way it would be if you drove it yourself. It's the most affordable option and works fine for the large majority of daily drivers, SUVs, and trucks.
Enclosed car carrier transport puts your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from road debris, weather, and dust for the entire trip. We recommend this for classic cars, exotic and luxury vehicles, and anything with true collector value.
Heavy duty truck and equipment hauling covers everything too big or too heavy for a standard car carrier: box trucks, work trucks with equipment mounted, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. If it doesn't fit the usual definition of "car," this is the service that gets it moved.

Commuters heading into Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco make up a real share of who we ship for in El Cerrito. With direct I-80 access and BART right in the city, plenty of residents opt to ship a vehicle rather than add it to an already crowded East Bay commute.
Hillside homeowners are another distinct group, often relocating into or out of one of El Cerrito's steep-lot neighborhoods where a second or specialty vehicle needs careful enclosed handling rather than a standard open-trailer move.
UC Berkeley-adjacent movers round out our customer base here, faculty, staff, and graduate students settling in El Cerrito for its relative affordability compared to Berkeley proper, needing a vehicle shipped ahead of an academic-year move.
