San Jose, CA freight market
Silicon Valley moves high-value electronics, semiconductor equipment and data-center hardware, much of it expedited and air-ride, plus manufacturing from Fremont (Tesla) and the Gilroy and Salinas Valley produce that heads out in reefers. The Port of Oakland is 40 miles north; warehouses are scarce and expensive, so distribution runs from Tracy, Stockton and the East Bay.
