Suppliers shipping palletized freight to Florida
Ship palletized freight across the LA-to-Florida corridor, directly from your Los Angeles facility to retailers, commercial buyers and distributors throughout Florida. Shared LTL capacity covers 1 to 7 pallets, and each shipment is billed on the greater of its actual weight or its dimensional weight—not on a whole truck.
Usually the right fit
- LTL Expedited: about 3 calendar days from pickup to South Florida, Homestead to West Palm Beach.
- LTL Regular or Economy: about 7 or 10 calendar days to destinations across Florida.
- A volume load or full truckload for 8 pallets or more.
What to include in your quote request
- Pickup info: exact pickup address and cargo ready date.
- Delivery info: receiving facility name, destination city and ZIP code.
- LTL specs: total pallet count, individual pallet dimensions (L × W × H), total weight and commodity details.
- Consignee schedule: delivery appointment requirements or receiving facility hours.

Usually the right fit
- LTL Regular or Economy for planned replenishment of 1 to 7 pallets where timing allows.
- LTL Expedited when a South Florida location needs stock sooner.
