Proudly Serving Upland, California
A citrus colony that renamed itself for its "up-land" fruit and struck out on its own in 1906 — Upland is just up the road from our Fontana headquarters, and Patterson Trans Inc is glad to be part of its story.Upland businesses can coordinate refrigerated freight service, temperature-controlled trucking, and appointment-sensitive deliveries with Patterson’s nearby Fontana team.
Refrigerated Freight Across Upland’s Freeway and Boulevard Network
Upland combines regional freeway access with a street pattern built around long north-south avenues and an historic central corridor. Interstate 10 serves the city’s southern side, State Route 210 crosses the north, and Foothill Boulevard links Upland with neighboring communities along the former Route 66 alignment. Euclid Avenue remains the defining spine through town. Patterson Trans Inc serves this network from its established Fontana headquarters, positioning refrigerated equipment and dispatch support within the same Inland Empire operating area. A short map distance, however, does not remove the need for planning. Travel between the freeways, commercial entrances along major boulevards, activity near the Metrolink station and narrower approaches in older districts can all affect a pickup or delivery. Our team reviews the lane from origin to receiver, confirming legal access, appointment expectations and cargo requirements before assigning equipment and timing.
Patterson Trans Inc coordinates reefer FTL, refrigerated LTL and cross-dock freight for Upland through its nearby Fontana operation.
Coverage
Areas we serve near Upland
From the historic Euclid Avenue corridor to the warehouses near the 10 and 210, our team covers Upland end to end.
Downtown Upland centers on historic Euclid Avenue near Ninth Street and the Metrolink station. The street grid includes small storefronts, rail activity and limited service access behind some properties. Refrigerated deliveries should use a confirmed entrance and appointment window; Patterson Trans Inc can plan the local approach from I-10 or Foothill Boulevard.
Euclid Avenue’s landscaped median is a defining Upland landmark and separates traffic movements along the historic 200-foot-wide parkway. A receiver may be easiest to reach from a parallel or cross street rather than directly across the median. Dispatchers can verify the correct side, driveway and dock before routing temperature-controlled freight.
San Antonio Heights sits above north Upland near mountain-facing residential roads and county territory. Final-mile planning may involve grades, narrower local streets and addresses outside Upland city limits. Patterson Trans Inc can review the precise destination, truck suitability and connection through Mountain or Euclid avenues before accepting a refrigerated load.
Colonies Crossroads is a major retail district near Campus Avenue and SR 210. Shopping traffic and separate tenant loading areas make store-level directions essential for deliveries. Cold-chain shippers can provide receiving hours, dock notes and commodity temperatures so Patterson Trans Inc can choose equipment and schedule the arrival from Fontana.
Mountain Avenue links north Upland neighborhoods and commercial properties with I-10, Foothill Boulevard and SR 210. The corridor changes character as it approaches the foothills, so destination and trailer clearance should be checked in advance. Dispatch can map the preferred freeway connection and confirm a practical refrigerated-service window.
Common Questions
Upland, CA — frequently asked
What is Upland known for?+
Upland is known for the Madonna of the Trail monument at Foothill Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, its stretch of historic Route 66, the Chaffey-era Euclid Avenue boulevard it shares with neighboring Ontario, and a citrus and lemon-growing heritage still honored on the city seal and at the annual Lemon Festival.
How old is the city of Upland?+
Upland grew out of the northern end of the Chaffey brothers' 1882 Ontario Colony, was known locally as North Ontario before being renamed Upland in 1902, and officially incorporated as its own city on May 15, 1906 — making it well over a century old.

Why was Upland once called North Ontario?+
Upland began as the higher-elevation northern section of the Chaffey brothers' Ontario Colony, so it was informally known as North Ontario. Local citrus growers renamed it Upland in 1902 to distinguish their fruit — grown "up-land" at a slightly higher elevation — before the city incorporated separately in 1906.
Is Route 66 part of Upland?+
Yes — historic Route 66 follows Foothill Boulevard through Upland, the same road where the Madonna of the Trail monument marks the western end of the earlier National Old Trails Road.
