San Francisco to San Jose Courier & Freight
The Peninsula run between San Francisco and San Jose is our shortest and busiest lane. Labs in South San Francisco, offices downtown and tech campuses in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale all move parts, documents and specimens up and down this stretch every day. Our San Francisco to San Jose courier service is same-day, often within 2 to 3 hours.
San Francisco to San Jose courier route on US-101 or I-280
Drivers take US-101 down the Bay side or I-280 along the hills, picked by live traffic. 101 through San Mateo and Redwood City backs up in the morning and late afternoon, so time-critical runs get routed around the worst of it rather than sitting in it.
Before each San Francisco to San Jose courier run, dispatch checks closures and chain controls on Caltrans QuickMap, so a problem on the road changes the plan before the truck leaves, not after it is stuck.
In San Francisco we pick up across SoMa, Mission Bay, the Financial District, Dogpatch and SFO. In San Jose we deliver to downtown San Jose, North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Milpitas. Drivers know the local quirks at both ends, from tight downtown docks, building check-in and limited curb space in San Francisco to Silicon Valley campuses with security desks and scheduled receiving windows in San Jose.
