Drayage in Florida
Florida has three top-25 container ports plus the country's busiest cruise ports for vehicle and Ro-Ro freight. JAXPORT is the Puerto Rico gateway, Port Everglades handles Caribbean trade, and PortMiami serves both. Perishables, autos, and e-commerce DCs drive the freight mix.

How we run drayage in Florida
We work JAXPORT and the surrounding terminal complex on appointment systems daily. That means knowing which terminals run TIPS versus eModal versus Voyager, where chassis pools split, and how each ramp prioritizes return windows during congestion.
Major freight in Florida flows along I-95 and I-75 — corridors we route load planning around, not against. Drayage drops at Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa go out daily, and intermodal moves through CSX Winter Haven ILC are part of the same lane book.
Florida is a priority market for BRS. We carry deeper carrier coverage here, tighter terminal relationships, and the operator bandwidth to handle volatile vessel schedules without dropping containers into demurrage.

FAQ
Do you cover all ports in Florida?
We cover JAXPORT, Port Everglades, PortMiami, Port Tampa Bay daily. If you have container freight at a smaller terminal not listed, message us — most secondary terminals in the state are reachable through our carrier network.
How quickly can you turn a container in Florida?
Standard moves go out same-day or next-day depending on terminal appointment availability and chassis pool status. Pre-pulls and staged drays can compress that further when free time matters.
What makes Florida a priority market for BRS?
Volume and complexity. The freight density and terminal-side friction in Florida justify a dedicated operator bench. We carry deeper carrier coverage and tighter terminal relationships here than in markets we run more opportunistically.
