Torrance was founded in October 1912 by developer Jared Sidney Torrance, who hired Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., of the famous Olmsted landscape architecture family, to design it as a Garden City Movement planned community, one of the few purpose-built "balanced industrial city" prototypes in the country. The original downtown grid was even laid out on a diagonal on purpose, so Pacific Ocean trade breezes would carry industrial pollution away from homes and shops. That planning legacy shaped a city that later became a real aerospace hub, home to Robinson Helicopters and aerospace fastener maker Arconic, and once housed Toyota's North American headquarters for over three decades. Sweet Logistics provides reliable open trailer auto transport throughout Torrance, and Cyndy personally handles every route.
Coast to Coast Car Shipping
I-405 runs through Torrance parallel to the coast, with I-110 junctioning nearby and continuing south to Pacific Coast Highway, which runs directly through the city. That gives Torrance excellent connectivity to the Ports of LA and Long Beach, LAX, and the broader South Bay logistics corridor. With a 2020 population of 147,067 (an estimated 139,576 as of 2024) and a median household income of $113,095, open trailer transport covers the large majority of what we ship here, family vehicles and daily drivers moving with a job change or relocation.
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 Torrance 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. Given Torrance's aerospace and industrial base, this is a service we lean on often here.

Aerospace and manufacturing employees make up a real share of who we ship for in Torrance. With companies like Robinson Helicopters and Arconic based here, workers relocating for a new position in the industry often need a vehicle shipped ahead of a start date.
Shoppers and retail employees connected to Del Amo Fashion Center, one of the largest shopping malls in the western United States, are another group, along with residents relocating for the retail and service jobs that come with it.
Port-adjacent logistics workers are a third group. With Torrance's direct access to the Ports of LA and Long Beach via I-110 and I-405, employees in the shipping and freight industry regularly turn to us when relocating into or out of the South Bay.
