Same-day lane service
San Diego to Los Angeles refrigerated delivery
San Diego and Los Angeles are about 120 miles apart on I-5. We run refrigerated vans and box trucks between them the same day, in both directions, for one-time loads and recurring lane schedules.
The lane
Both directions, with stops along the way
Runs go north from San Diego to Los Angeles and south from Los Angeles to San Diego. Because the route passes through Orange County, a run can include stops there too.
- San Diego County pickups, including Otay Mesa cold storage
- San Diego produce houses, distributors, and processors
- The LA Wholesale Produce Market and the downtown LA produce district
- Vernon, Commerce, and other LA-area cold storage and warehouses
- Orange County stops on the way
One-time or recurring
A single run, or a lane you can schedule around
For a one-time load, send the pickup and delivery details and your window. For regular volume, set up a recurring lane: for example, San Diego to Los Angeles every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with the same vehicle size each time.
Recurring lanes start with a trial run, so you can see how we handle your freight before you commit to a schedule.
