Miami to Florida, statewide

Anywhere in the state, and the two ends of that look nothing alike. A run into Medley or Hialeah is 15 miles and back the same day. Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and the Panhandle are a different kind of day, and anything past Orlando is worth pricing both ways before it is booked. Pickups happen across the state as well, on both coasts, not only out of Miami.

By the load. Two runs of the same distance can cost quite differently depending on the weight, the trailer, whether a container is going through on a chassis or the freight is being transloaded, how long the box would be out, and what the appointment at each end looks like. That is why no rates are published here. Send the two addresses, the windows and what is moving, and you get a number for it.

Yes, and that direction is a lane in its own right rather than a return leg. Freight comes down to Miami from Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and the Panhandle constantly, for export, for consolidation or for a warehouse in the Miami-Dade belt. Give the Florida pickup and the Miami delivery, say whether it is a container or loose freight, and it is quoted on its own.

Yes. Palletized and cartoned freight travels in a 53 ft dry van, which carries about 45,000 lb. Temperature-controlled freight goes in a reefer, which carries about 44,000 in the same footprint because of the unit, its fuel and the insulation. Anything that loads from the side or the top, or stands taller than a van, goes on open deck. Containers travel on a chassis. The freight decides the equipment, so describe it early.

Same day to 2 days. That is the drive; the bigger variable is usually the terminal appointment at the Miami end, not the road.

We price it both ways. Roughly: under 250 miles the container usually runs through, past that transloading tends to win because the empty goes back to the line instead of travelling.

Everything from a 15-mile run into Medley to a 500-mile haul to the Panhandle. Short lanes run through on a chassis; anything past Orlando is worth pricing both ways.

Yes, all 48 states, generally transloaded to a trailer first.

The last day your container can sit inside the terminal before storage charges start. Miss it and demurrage begins accruing daily, which is why a pre-pull is almost always cheaper than waiting.

We collect the container from the terminal before you are ready for it and hold it on a yard. It stops demurrage running at terminal rates and it takes the pressure off your receiving schedule.

Send the lane, the equipment, the container size and the port, and we come back with a number. Quotes and dispatch run 24 hours a day at quotes@dariaslogistics.com.

The move itself, plus the accessorials people get surprised by later: chassis, pre-pull, per diem, demurrage, detention and storage. We would rather name them up front than add them to an invoice.
