Warp prices this lane at $278 per pallet with 2-day transit through the Columbus cross-dock facility. Columbus is the fastest-growing major city in the Midwest and one of the most important freight markets in the country.
I-70 and I-71 intersect here, and the Rickenbacker International Airport logistics zone on the southeast side hosts one of the highest concentrations of e-commerce fulfillment and distribution infrastructure in North America.
Miami's local LTL market is shaped by three forces that do not exist together anywhere else in the country: a major international airport (MIA) with one of the highest cargo volumes in North America, the Port of Miami handling cruise and container cargo, and a retail and hospitality supply chain serving one of the densest concentrations of hotels and restaurants in the US.
Local ltl Miami volume is heavily international in character, with freight moving from customs-cleared warehouse zones near MIA through Doral and Medley into commercial accounts across Miami Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, and the Design District.
