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.
