Pickups in New York and New Jersey
Southbound freight usually starts at a New Jersey warehouse or a New York shipper with limited dock time. We pick up in the Newark, Elizabeth and Secaucus warehouse districts, along the Edison corridor, in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, and on Long Island. Many New York shippers load by appointment only, so give us the pickup window and any reference number with your request.
Ground-level pickups are fine. If the shipper has no dock or forklift, our hydraulic liftgate brings pallets up to the box.
New York to Miami freight, direct down I-95
From the New York metro the truck runs south on I-95 through Philadelphia, Richmond, the Carolinas, Savannah and Jacksonville to South Florida. One driver, hours-of-service compliant on the ELD, no terminal transfers along the way. New Jersey to Florida freight stays in the same box from the shipper's door to the Miami receiver.

Fill the backhaul with your freight
Because our truck returns to Miami after northbound runs, southbound space is often available. Ask dispatch for the current schedule. If you also ship north, pair this with our Miami to New York lane or set up a dedicated round trip. For a few pallets, see partial truckload. To price a load, use the quote form with ZIPs, dates and pallet details.
Frequently asked questions
How long does freight take from New York to Miami?
Typical transit from New York or New Jersey to Miami is 2 to 3 days. The truck covers about 1,280 miles on I-95 with a single driver who follows hours-of-service rules. The pickup appointment, traffic leaving the New York metro and the Florida delivery window decide the exact timing, so we confirm a realistic estimate when we quote.
Where do you pick up in New York and New Jersey?
We pick up across the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester and Northern New Jersey, including the Newark, Elizabeth, Secaucus and Edison warehouse areas. Docks and ground-level doors both work, since our box truck has a hydraulic liftgate. Send the pickup address, the loading window and any appointment or reference number so we can plan the stop.
Is southbound space easier to get than northbound?
Often, yes. Our truck heads back to Miami after northbound runs, so southbound capacity from New York and New Jersey is often available. That can mean faster booking for your load. Availability still changes week to week, so ask dispatch for the current schedule when you send your pickup ZIP, delivery ZIP and dates.
Can you deliver to a store in Miami without a dock?
Yes. Our hydraulic liftgate lowers pallets and crates to street level, and the driver sets them down at the curb or the nearest ground-level door. This works for stores, showrooms, offices and job sites across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, as long as the shipment is commercial freight. Note the no-dock stop on your quote request.
