San Francisco to Fresno courier route on I-580 and CA-99

Trucks leave the Bay on I-580 over the Altamont Pass, then drop onto CA-99 south through Manteca, Modesto and Merced. The Altamont can slow down with commuter traffic and wind, so early departures keep the delivery window predictable.

Before each San Francisco to Fresno 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 Fresno we deliver to Fresno, Clovis, Selma and the industrial parks off CA-99. Drivers know the local quirks at both ends, from tight downtown docks, building check-in and limited curb space in San Francisco to ag processors, cold storage and distribution yards with set dock hours in Fresno.

Stops between San Francisco and Fresno

A San Francisco to Fresno courier trip passes through Oakland, Hayward, Livermore, Tracy, Manteca, Modesto and Merced. Pickups and drops in any of those cities can be added to the same run, which is often cheaper than booking two separate deliveries.

Tell dispatch about extra stops when you book. They are planned into the route and the delivery window, so the final drop in Fresno still lands on time.
