Inland Empire (California) in real estate market crash but still alive

The Inland Empire is a region mainly located in the Riverside and San Bernardino counties of Southern California. The Inland Empire is centered in the region's oldest cities: Ontario, San Bernardino, and Riverside. These cities were established at about the end of the 19th century and were major centers of agriculture including citrus, dairy, and wine-making. The name "Inland Empire" was first used in the 1950s to distinguish the region from the coastal communities of the Greater Los Angeles Area, and Los Angeles itself.

Housing

Since the 1950s, the area has evolved from a rural to a suburban environment. In addition to existing cities such as Riverside and San Bernardino, the region now comprises numerous suburban cities known as bedroom communities such as Rancho Cucamonga. Affordable home ownership is the primary motivation behind the growth in these Inland Empire communities as homes there are generally less expensive than comparable homes in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, however, still generally more expensive than the rest of the nation. The steady rise in population and the strong demand for housing has led to a dramatic increase in single-family residential construction on lots of 1/4 acre (1,000 m²) or more (as opposed to high-density development such as multi-level apartments or condominiums). Much of the vacant land is rapidly being developed to the chagrin of those who grew up living 'in the country'. In addition, much of the land that was used for agriculture is now being sold by their owners and being converted for use for more intensive purposes such shopping centers, industrial warehouses, etc. This continuous development, due to the various interests involved, has become seemingly unplanned and uncontrolled suburban sprawl

Industry

 

Boxcars, Rialto, CaliforniaInexpensive land prices (compared to Los Angeles and Orange Counties), a large supply of vacant land, and a transport network where many highways and railroads intersect have made the Inland Empire a major shipping hub. Some of the nation's largest manufacturing companies have chosen the Inland Empire for their distribution facilities including Toyota Motor Corporation's North American Parts and Logistics Distribution (NAPLD) center in Ontario and APL Logistics in Rancho Cucamonga. Whirlpool Corporation recently leased a 1,700,000-square-foot (158,000 m2) distribution center in Perris that is larger than 31 football fields and one of the biggest warehouses in the country.[11] These centers operate as part of the system that transports finished goods and materials from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to destinations to the north and east such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Denver. More than 80% percent of the state's imported cargo is shipped through the Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor.[12] Three major airports service the area, the San Bernardino International Airport, Palm Springs International Airport, and the LA/Ontario International Airport.

While urbanization continues to cut into agricultural lands, the Inland Empire still produces substantial crops, from grapefruit in the Coachella Valley to milk in Chino. Although 10,000 acres (40 km2) of irrigated land was lost between 2002 and 2004, agriculture still brought in more than $1.6 billion in revenues to the two-county region in 2006.[6]

Operating Boxcar
What aeroplanes are used to haul cargo these days?

I've just watched 'Flight of the Phoenix' where the protagonist operates a large twin-boom Boxcar. I know that during the war and shortly afterwards the Dakota was 'the' plane, but other than that I don't know anything about planes!

What aircraft are currently used in the same role as these old work-horses- by private enterprises as well as large freight corporations? Thanks.

For small on demand charters, the typical aircrafts are
Cessna 310's
Cessna Grand Caravans
Lear 24/25/35's
Da-20 (falcon 20)
Metro-III's
Emb-110 (and a very few Emb-120)
Pilatus PC-12
Dc-9-15/30 series
B-727-100/200
B-737
Dc-8-60/71
If you did not notice, most of these are very old designs, because they can be bought rather cheaply from airlines that want to upgrade to newer aircraft. These are the most commonly used in the Ad-hoc cargo business.
Commerical cargo compaines such as UPS/BAX/FedEx ..etc, use large heavy lift aircraft such as
Dc-10
B-767
B-747
IL-76
Antov-124.
This is becasue they are consolidated loads, meaning more than one shipper's goods are being flown. They are renting space on the aircraft, instead of renting the whole aircraft.

Also the majority of small cargo is actually loaded into commerical passenger aircraft, with Northwest, United, Southwest, American Airlines.
