shape the move.
A route on a map is only part of a California shipment. The plan also needs to work at the pickup and delivery sites: when the freight is ready, how it will load and who will receive it.

Delivery access
Tell us about the delivery address, truck access, unloading arrangements and any site restrictions.
Receiving window

ALEX KRAM · Founder & CEO
I'm Alex Kram, the founder of Fargo Express. For over 20 years, I've worked in transportation and logistics — from running my own trucking and freight forwarding company in Europe to driving flatbed and step deck trucks across the United States.
I started Fargo Express because I believe a freight broker should understand more than just rates and schedules.
Read Alex’s story
With nearly a million miles on American highways, I know firsthand what it takes to move freight safely and efficiently. I've secured loads, dealt with challenging pickups and deliveries, and experienced the real problems shippers and drivers face on the road.
Having been behind the wheel, I know the equipment, the cargo, the challenges, and the people who make every shipment happen.
My goal is simple — to make freight transportation more straightforward, reliable, and transparent for the businesses that trust us with their cargo.

This page focuses on commercial freight with both pickup and delivery locations in California. If the route crosses a state line, see our Interstate Ground Delivery service or send us both locations so we can review the shipment.
What kinds of freight can you review?
We review equipment, materials, packaged business cargo and other larger commercial shipments. Send the cargo description, dimensions, weight and loading requirements so suitable carrier and equipment options can be considered.
What information is needed for a California freight quote?
Share the pickup and delivery addresses or city and ZIP code, cargo description, piece count, packed dimensions, total weight and requested dates. Include the site contacts, business hours, loading and unloading arrangements, and any appointment or access requirements.
What if a location has no loading dock or forklift?
Tell us before arrangements are confirmed. The cargo, site access and loading or unloading needs must be reviewed with the carrier. Any required equipment, responsibilities and available options are confirmed for the shipment.
How are pickup and delivery appointments handled?
Share the opening hours, appointment rules and site contacts at both locations. We review the requested windows, cargo readiness and carrier availability before confirming arrangements. Let us know when a site requirement or date changes.
