Shipping between California and Oregon

California is the largest LTL market in the country. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach feed dense warehouse clusters in the Inland Empire and the South Bay, while the Bay Area, Sacramento and the Central Valley add food, beverage and manufacturing freight. Many California deliveries are to congested or limited-access sites, so check accessorials carefully.

Oregon freight centers on Portland, with the I-5 corridor linking it to Seattle and California. Its port and river system make it a Pacific Northwest gateway.
