Why Dry Van Driver Hiring is Different in Miami

MIA handles more perishable air cargo than any US airport (cut flowers, Latin American produce, seafood), feeding tight-window reefer and cold-chain freight distribution across the Southeast. South Florida is a freight dead-end (cargo in, little out), which depresses outbound rates and creates long deadhead penalties. Hurricane-season surges June-November drive emergency flatbed and generator moves.

I-95, I-75, Florida's Turnpike, SR-826 — the backbone of dry van freight moving through Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach.

Major Logistics Hubs

  • PortMiami (cruise + containerized cargo)
  • Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale)
