Local courier work, next door to our dispatch
Union City sits between Hayward and Fremont on I-880, and its industrial district along Whipple Road, Dyer Street and the rail corridor is full of distribution, food and light manufacturing businesses. We dispatch from Fremont, right next door, so Union City work is local work for us. Local business information is on the City of Union City website.

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.
