San Francisco to San Diego Courier & Freight
San Francisco to San Diego covers almost the full length of California. Biotech firms, defense contractors and retailers use this lane for freight that has to cross the state by the next morning. Our San Francisco to San Diego courier service is overnight, or same-day by team expedite.
San Francisco to San Diego courier route on I-5
Loads follow I-5 the whole way, through the Central Valley, over the Grapevine and down through Orange County into San Diego. Longer runs use two drivers when a shipment cannot wait for an overnight transit.
Before each San Francisco to San Diego 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 Diego we deliver to downtown, Sorrento Valley, Kearny Mesa, Otay Mesa and Carlsbad. Drivers know the local quirks at both ends, from tight downtown docks, building check-in and limited curb space in San Francisco to biotech campuses in Sorrento Valley and cross-border freight around Otay Mesa in San Diego.
