How freight moves in Florida
Freight in Florida runs on I-4, I-10, I-75, I-95, I-275 and I-295. Ocean and river cargo moves through JAXPORT (Port of Jacksonville), PortMiami, Port Everglades and Port Tampa Bay. The state's economy leans on agriculture, citrus and produce, port trade with Latin America and the Caribbean, aerospace and space launch and construction and housing materials, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Florida
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storms can close ports and disrupt highways along both coasts.
Seasonal residents typically arrive in late fall and return north in spring, which raises passenger-vehicle traffic on I-75 and I-95 during those months.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Florida
