Around 1,364 miles. The first leg out of Providence joins I-95 immediately and runs through Connecticut, the New York metro and New Jersey before the corridor opens up south of Delaware. Rhode Island's advantage over Boston is that a carrier reaches the interstate in minutes; its disadvantage is that the state is small enough that few trucks are based there.
Pickups come from Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Newport and the South County towns — the whole state sits within an hour of the loading point. Florida deliveries concentrate in the southeast metros, with a strong secondary flow to the Gulf coast communities around Naples, Fort Myers and Sarasota, and to central Florida.
A snowbird lane with the standard shape: southbound builds through October and November, northbound peaks in April and May. Because Rhode Island generates relatively little freight of its own, capacity in the peak weeks tightens faster here than in the larger neighbouring states, so booking early matters more.
Distance puts this at a reasonable per-mile rate. The variable specific to this lane is that carriers often serve Rhode Island as part of a Boston or Connecticut load rather than on its own, so being flexible about the pickup day is worth real money. Season, as always on this corridor, moves the price more than anything else.
Rhode Island to Florida is a high-frequency route, and high frequency is what drives better rates and more flexible pickup dates for your shipment.
Two shipments on the same lane can price differently. The main variables are:
