San Jose to Los Angeles courier route on US-101, CA-152 and I-5

Most runs take US-101 to Gilroy, cross Pacheco Pass on CA-152 and join I-5 south over the Grapevine. When I-5 is closed or jammed, drivers stay on US-101 down the coast instead.

Before each San Jose to Los Angeles 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 Jose we pick up across downtown San Jose, North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Milpitas. In Los Angeles we deliver to downtown LA, Vernon, Commerce, the San Fernando Valley, LAX and the South Bay. Drivers know the local quirks at both ends, from Silicon Valley campuses with security desks and scheduled receiving windows in San Jose to heavy freeway traffic, warehouse appointments and port-area congestion in Los Angeles.

Stops between San Jose and Los Angeles

A San Jose to Los Angeles courier trip passes through Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Los Banos, Kettleman City and Santa Clarita. 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 Los Angeles still lands on time.
