Burlingame is the closest city we serve to San Francisco International, which shapes most of the work. Airport recovery, freight forwarder handoffs and hotel deliveries all run on airline timetables rather than office hours.
Being three miles from SFO shapes the Burlingame work. We run airfreight recovery for forwarders, deliver to the hotels along Bayshore on conference schedules, and cover the retail and restaurant trade on Burlingame Avenue. We reach Burlingame on US-101, I-280 and Broadway, and the nearest air freight point is San Francisco International, about 3 miles north. 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
Because we are minutes from SFO, an airfreight recovery booked here is usually on the road before the paperwork clears. Give us the airway bill and the handler and we will collect it directly.
- 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
Burlingame to the city is a short 101 run outside commute hours, and the Peninsula south to Palo Alto is straightforward on either 101 or 280.
We also cover Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsborough and San Bruno 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 Burlingame
How quickly can you recover freight from SFO?
Usually within the hour, often faster. Send the airway bill and the handler and we go straight to the cargo facility rather than waiting for paperwork to reach us.
Do you handle hotel and conference deliveries?
Yes, including move-in windows for events. Hotels near the airport have set receiving hours and we book against them.
Do you handle international arrivals and customs-cleared freight?
We collect once the freight is released by the handler. Give us the release status and we will time the run so the vehicle is not sitting waiting.
Freight sitting at SFO?
Send the airway bill and the handler. We are minutes from the cargo area and will normally have it moving before the paperwork reaches you.
