Operations
The miles between everywhere and the dock door.
Freight & Transportation is the rolling line. It runs every working day between the three corridor gateways — PortMiami, Port Everglades, and MIA — and the warehouses, distribution centers, retail docks, and customer addresses across South Florida, the Southeast, and the broader continental United States.
Drayage is the highest-frequency workflow. Containers move off the gateways and onto chassis bound north, usually to our Pompano Beach anchor or to a partner warehouse depending on the freight and the lane. Port Everglades drayage runs in fifteen-minute dock-to-warehouse windows on good days. PortMiami and MIA both sit at forty minutes from the anchor. We work all three lanes daily.
Beyond drayage, Full Truckload (FTL) and Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) routing handles freight bound deeper inland. Florida state-wide same-day or next-day reach is standard; Southeast two-day reach (Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas) runs regularly; transcontinental routes go out through the major national carriers we have relationships with. Cross-dock and transloading handle freight that needs to switch modes (ocean container to dry-van trailer) or switch carriers (regional to national) without entering long-term storage.
The line
What’s included in the line.
- Drayage. Container drayage between the corridor gateways and the inland warehouse network. PortMiami, Port Everglades, MIA cargo apron, FLL, and PBI. Chassis pool visibility, gate-window scheduling, customs hold awareness. The most-trafficked lane in our network.
- Full Truckload (FTL). Dedicated truck for freight that fills a 53-foot trailer or warrants exclusive use. Direct origin-to-destination routing with no intermediate handoffs. Used for high-value, time-sensitive, or shipper- consolidated freight.
- Less-Than-Truckload (LTL). Shared-trailer routing for freight between 150 and 10,000 pounds that doesn’t warrant a dedicated truck. Carrier selection based on lane density, transit time, and damage-rate history; we work the major national LTL networks and the regional specialists.
- Cross-dock & transloading. Inbound freight offloaded, reconfigured, and dispatched to its next leg without entering long-term storage. Useful for ocean-container-to- dry-van mode switches, retail-distribution cross-dock flows, and consolidation/deconsolidation work.
Industries
Who moves through us.
- Importers using the South Florida corridor. Freight clearing PortMiami, Port Everglades, or MIA that needs drayage to a warehouse before downstream distribution.
- Florida regional distributors. Wholesalers and distributors with downstream customer networks across the state — same-day and next-day Florida reach is the baseline expectation.
- Southeast retail and wholesale. Freight destined for Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, and beyond — two-day reach standard, with the FTL/LTL relationships to back it up.
- Cross-dock-only operators. Clients whose inventory doesn’t sit at our warehouse but routes through the cross-dock for mode or carrier transitions.
- Project cargo and oversize freight. Heavy equipment, modular construction, oversize industrial cargo that requires permit routing and specialized chassis.
- Cruise hospitality supply chain. Provisions, parts, and consumables for cruise vessels home-ported at PortMiami and Port Everglades — short, high-frequency lanes with strict cutoff windows.
Our posture
How we work the road.
Drayage is a relationship business. We work with the chassis pool managers, the gate ops at each gateway, the dispatchers at the regional drayage operators. When a container needs to clear customs and move north before a six PM warehouse close, it’s the relationships that make that happen — not a software tool, not a spot quote.
Beyond drayage, the FTL/LTL work runs on the same network logic. We don’t own the trucks. What we know is which carrier handles which lane cleanly, which dispatcher to call when a tight window needs to be honored, and which customer-service contact to escalate to when something goes sideways en route.
