Year-round demand driven by Florida's growth. Snowbird season October-March increases household goods and consumer freight. Produce backhaul from Homestead/South Florida peaks January-April. Hurricane season June-November poses significant risk to coastal I-95.
I-95 through Florida is heavily congested near every metro area. Plan transit to avoid morning and evening rush hours.
Florida Turnpike is a toll alternative that is often faster than I-95 through the state interior. Budget $15-25 in tolls.
Miami backhaul produce season (January-April) pays premium rates, especially reefer loads from Homestead area.
Fort Pierce/Vero Beach area has citrus freight during season (November-March). Good short-haul opportunities.
JAXPORT is rapidly growing. Container freight from Jacksonville heading south is increasingly common.
