Florida to Pennsylvania freight, both directions

Northbound: Florida to Philadelphia on I-95

Pennsylvania sits on the same I-95 corridor as our target lane, so the run north is one we know well. From Miami, I-95 runs through Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Washington and Baltimore to Philadelphia, about 1,190 miles. The Lehigh Valley is roughly 60 miles further, by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476) or by I-78.

A solo driver covers the corridor within hours-of-service limits, logged on the ELD, so typical transit is 2 to 3 days. Freight stays in one box from the Florida dock to the Pennsylvania receiver.

Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia freight areas

The Lehigh Valley, around Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton along I-78, has grown into one of the biggest warehouse markets in the Northeast, because it reaches New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia in a day. In the Philadelphia area we deliver to South Philadelphia and the port-side buildings along the Delaware River, Northeast Philadelphia, Bucks County and the King of Prussia area. Central Pennsylvania points along I-81, around Harrisburg and Carlisle, are quoted on request.

• Lehigh Valley distribution centers receive by appointment: send the number with the tender
• City and suburban receivers without a dock get the liftgate
• Philadelphia city stops: tell us about narrow streets, loading zones and parking limits
• I-476 or I-78 into the Lehigh Valley is chosen by the receiver's exact address

Southbound: Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley to Florida

Southbound, we pick up at Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia distribution centers, manufacturers and port-area buildings and run I-95 back to Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and South Florida. Our trucks are based in Miami, so this leg heads home, and southbound space is worth asking about.

Lehigh Valley buildings often run tight appointment windows for outbound loads too, so send the pickup appointment and any reference number with the tender, and we plan the truck's arrival around it.

Combine it with the Northeast

Pennsylvania pairs naturally with our other Northeast lanes, and a 26 ft box reaches city receivers on narrow Philadelphia streets where a 53 ft trailer cannot turn. Freight bound for Central or North Jersey runs on Florida–New Jersey, and New York City deliveries ride Miami to New York freight. For recurring volume, set up one of our dedicated lanes for brokers; for a few pallets, book a partial truckload. For how we plan long hauls, see interstate box truck freight. To price a load, send ZIPs, dates and pallet details on the quote form.
