About Cal West

A California freight broker built on direct relationships

Cal West Freight Lines Inc is a licensed and bonded freight brokerage headquartered in Ontario, California, moving full truckload, LTL, refrigerated, flatbed, expedited and drayage freight across all 48 states. We built our carrier network the same way we would want to be treated as a shipper: every carrier is vetted through FMCSA for active authority, insurance and safety before a single load is dispatched, and every relationship is maintained, not just onboarded once and forgotten. For Southern California lanes we lean on our affiliated asset-based carrier in Fontana, giving shippers tighter control and communication on the routes we run most, while our brokerage network covers the rest of the country. We move a large volume of time-sensitive produce, food and beverage, and retail freight out of the Inland Empire and LA/Long Beach port corridor, and our dispatch team is reachable around the clock, not just during business hours. Whether you are a shipper looking for a dependable broker or a carrier looking for consistent freight and fast pay, Cal West Freight Lines is built to be a long-term partner, not a one-time transaction.

FAQ

Freight brokerage, answered plainly

A freight broker connects businesses that need to ship goods with vetted, licensed motor carriers. Cal West handles carrier sourcing, rate negotiation, dispatch, tracking and paperwork — you get capacity without managing trucks yourself.
Check three things: active FMCSA broker authority (look up the MC number on the SAFER system), a $75,000 surety bond (BMC-84/85), and a documented carrier vetting process. Cal West Freight Lines is licensed and bonded, headquartered in California, and verifies every carrier's authority, insurance and safety record before dispatch.
Submit your lane through the quote form and a coordinator responds within one business hour — often within minutes on common West Coast lanes.
Full truckload dry van, LTL, temperature-controlled reefer, flatbed and step deck, expedited, and port drayage out of LA/Long Beach and Oakland — across the western U.S. and nationwide.
