Why local generators call the company down the street
HCI's headquarters, office and truck yard sit at 1680 Commerce Street, near where the 91 meets the 15. That puts our crews minutes from the industrial parks along the freeway and close to Norco, Eastvale, Riverside and the Chino Valley.
Being local matters most when something goes wrong. The same coordinators who quote your routine drum pickup answer the phone at night, and the trucks that respond to a spill park a short drive away.
