Local picture
What moves through San Francisco.
Extremely constrained urban delivery, which pushes toward smaller formats and scheduled windows.
San Francisco sits in San Francisco County, served by I-80, I-280 and US-101. The local freight base is technology, food distribution, port freight, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
At roughly 2200 miles, San Francisco is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.
