Courier and Freight Services across the San Francisco Bay Area
Nine counties run as one operating area. A pickup in Oakland and a delivery in San Jose is a single job with a single driver, not a handoff between carriers.

The Bay Area is our home region and the densest part of our network. We run it as one operating area rather than a set of separate cities, which means a pickup in Oakland and a delivery in San Jose is a single job with a single driver rather than a handoff.
A typical Bay Area day for us runs clinical routes in the morning, hardware and data center work through the middle of the day, and retail, hospitality and white glove into the evening. Because we run our own fleet across all nine counties, a job that starts in Santa Rosa and ends in San Jose stays with one carrier. We reach the San Francisco Bay Area on I-80, I-880, I-580, I-680, US-101 and CA-237, plus the bridge crossings, and the nearest air freight point is San Francisco International, Oakland International and San Jose Mineta. See our California logistics services for the full service list.

Why customers here use us
Priced on the call
You get a number while you are on the phone, against the actual job. No form, no callback, no quote that changes when the invoice arrives.
Dispatch answers at any hour
Nights, weekends and holidays. An urgent job at 2am reaches a person who can assign a vehicle, not an answering service.
One carrier, start to finish
The driver who collects it delivers it. No interlining, no handoff, one point of contact and one set of paperwork.
Access and site requirements
Bridges and tunnels, not distance, decide how long a Bay Area job takes. We quote against the crossing and the hour, which is why our estimates hold when a map based quote does not.
- Every vehicle DOT registered and every load insured
- Signature or photo proof of delivery on every job
- Vehicle sized to the address, not to whatever is free
- Recurring routes get a fixed rate, a named driver and a standing slot
How a job works
Tell us the job
Pickup, destination, weight or piece count, and the window. Any access constraints at either end are worth mentioning now rather than on the day.
Get a price on the call
Dispatch quotes it while you are on the phone and tells you honestly whether the timing is achievable.
We assign and collect
The nearest suitable vehicle is assigned, sized to the load rather than to whatever is free.
Delivered and proved
Closed out with a signature or a photo at the door, and the record sent back to you.

Coverage and timing
Same-day service is standard anywhere in the nine counties. Work heading out of the region to Sacramento, the Central Valley or Southern California moves overnight or on a scheduled next-day run.
We also cover San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and the Peninsula and the North Bay on the same routes, so a stop here can usually be combined with a neighboring pickup at no extra trip charge. Work leaving the region moves overnight or on a scheduled next-day run.
Questions we get about the San Francisco Bay Area
Do you charge extra to cross a bridge?
The crossing is priced into the job because it costs real time, but there is no separate surcharge appearing later. You get one number on the call.
Can one job cover several Bay Area cities?
Yes, and it usually should. Multi-stop routes across the region are cheaper than booking each leg separately, and one driver keeps the chain of custody intact.
Which counties do you cover?
All nine: San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano.
Covering more than one Bay Area city?
Multi-stop routes across the region are cheaper than booking each leg, and one driver keeps the chain of custody intact from first pickup to last drop.
White glove delivery across the Bay Area
Two-man crews working from Fremont and South San Francisco, covering San Francisco, the Peninsula, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Jose and the Tri-Valley. Inside placement to the room you specify, unpacking, basic assembly and packaging removal, not a pallet left on the dock.
Bay Area white glove work is mostly an access problem rather than a transit problem. Downtown San Francisco towers book freight elevators in fixed windows and most require a certificate of insurance naming the building. SoMa and the Financial District have street loading restrictions that rule out a 26 ft truck at certain hours. Peninsula and Silicon Valley campuses often need dock appointments booked days ahead. We ask about all of it when you book instead of finding out on the day.
Common Bay Area jobs are lab and cleanroom instruments into South San Francisco biotech, server racks and AV into San Francisco and San Jose offices, retail fixtures for overnight store fit-outs, and medical equipment into hospitals and clinics. Box trucks run 16 to 26 ft with liftgates up to 10,000 lbs. Cargo is insured to $1,000,000 and general liability is $1,000,000 with a $2,000,000 aggregate, which is the limit that matters when a crew is working inside your building.
