Trucking in Florida

Florida is one of the largest trucking markets in the US, driven by massive consumer demand, port activity, and construction growth. Jacksonville is a major trucking hub with Landstar and CSX headquartered there. The state's geography means nearly everything consumed must be trucked in — there are few outbound loads from southern Florida, creating a notorious deadhead problem for southbound lanes. Ports of Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville handle significant containerized cargo.
