The Florida to New York corridor

Northbound it is the same 1,258 miles of I-95, run in the opposite direction and with a different rhythm. Trucks load in south Florida, work north through the Treasure Coast and Jacksonville, then take the long uninterrupted stretch through Georgia and the Carolinas. The pinch point comes late rather than early: the run from Washington through Baltimore and the New Jersey Turnpike into the New York metro is where a schedule slips, and drivers routinely time that last leg to avoid a weekday morning.

Where we collect in Florida and deliver in New York

Collections concentrate in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and along the Gulf side around Naples and Fort Myers, plus a steady flow out of Orlando and The Villages. On the New York end, deliveries are heaviest in Nassau and Suffolk counties, Westchester and the northern New Jersey suburbs. Manhattan and much of Brooklyn are handled at a nearby lot rather than kerbside — there is simply nowhere to unload a full-size carrier safely.

When to ship Florida to New York

Northbound peaks in April and May as seasonal residents head home, and again in a smaller wave in September. That spring window is the tightest of the year on this lane in either direction, and a car booked with a week's notice in late April will cost noticeably more than the same car booked in February. Summer is the bargain: trucks come north with empty slots and pricing softens through July and August.

What moves the price on this lane

Florida to New York usually prices a little under the reverse trip outside of spring, because carriers want northbound loads to avoid running empty back up the coast. In April and May that flips completely. Beyond season, the variables are the usual ones — an inoperable car needs a winch and a specific position on the trailer, an oversized SUV or a dually takes the space of more than one sedan, and enclosed transport on this lane runs roughly forty to sixty per cent above open.

What affects your Florida to New York price?

Two shipments on the same lane can price differently. The main variables are:

  • Vehicle size, weight, and whether it runs and drives
  • Open carrier versus enclosed transport
  • How flexible your pickup window is
  • Time of year — snowbird and summer moving seasons run higher
  • How far your addresses sit from the main highway corridor
