Courier and freight for the Port of Redwood City and Seaport corridor
Redwood City is the Peninsula’s working waterfront. The Port of Redwood City handles bulk and construction materials, and the Seaport Boulevard and Bair Island area around it holds warehouses, contractors and light industrial space. Inland, downtown and the Broadway and Veterans Boulevard corridors are full of offices, biotech and medical buildings.
We dispatch from Fremont and reach Redwood City across the Dumbarton Bridge on SR-84. Runs go direct, not as a stop on a long route. Local business information is on the City of Redwood City website.

Vehicles we send in Redwood City
We match the vehicle to the load, so you are not paying for a truck when a van will do.
- Car or SUV: envelopes, specimens, small parcels and documents.
- Cargo van: boxes, totes, IT equipment and small crated items.
- Sprinter van: larger loads that need to stay dry, secure and off a shared truck.
- Box truck with liftgate: 1 to 12 pallets, furniture and equipment, with or without a dock.
- Reefer: refrigerated and frozen loads for food, pharma and lab shipments.
Not sure what you need? Tell dispatch what you are shipping, the size and the deadline, and we will pick the right vehicle on the call.

How a pickup works
- Call dispatch or send the pickup details. You get a price on the call.
- We assign a vehicle sized to the load.
- The driver picks up, scans the shipment, and you get updates through delivery.
- Signed proof of delivery is sent when the run closes.
Recurring work, like a daily shuttle between two sites or a weekly parts run, is set up on a fixed schedule with the same drivers.
What to have ready when you call
- Pickup and delivery addresses, and whether there is a dock or you need a liftgate.
- Size, weight and piece count.
- Ready time and the deadline at the other end.
- Any temperature, handling or chain-of-custody requirements.
- A reference or PO number for billing.
With that, dispatch can price the run on the call and have a driver moving right after.
