Shipping from Florida
Florida freight rates Florida outbound freight rates during the fall and winter are very affordable compared to the summer months. Shipping freight to Florida during the summer is also the best way to get the cheapest freight rates. Because of the produce industry, freight rates during peak summer months are more expensive when shipping freight out of Florida. Due to tourism and lack of major industry, Florida is a very consumption-heavy state. This makes overall freight rates higher when shipping in, lower when trucking out. With a port in Jacksonville, international freight shipping is busy here and import/exports are common. LTL freight rates in Florida are generally low due to high volume and competition. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Florida can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Louisiana
Louisiana freight rates Louisiana features great truckload rates due to its high traffic port located in southern Louisiana. This port is located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge and is one of the largest volume shipping ports in the western hemisphere. LTL freight, international freight and intermodal rail freight are cost effective and large in volume. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Louisiana can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
