Strong year-round demand driven by Florida's population growth and port activity at both cities. Snowbird season October-March increases household goods demand. Hurricane season can disrupt operations June-November. Theme park freight near Orlando peaks before holidays.
I-4 through Orlando is consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous highways in the US. Stay alert, especially through the I-4/I-95 interchange construction zone.
Florida tolls are unavoidable on most efficient routes. SunPass saves 25% vs toll-by-plate.
Jacksonville's Westside industrial district has excellent reload opportunities. JAXPORT is a growing container port.
Lakeland is midway between Tampa and Orlando with good truck services and a FedEx Ground hub.
Tampa Port area (Port Tampa Bay) generates cruise ship supply and phosphate freight year-round.
