Container Drayage for Glass and Window Imports in South Florida

Drayage for Glass and Window Imports in South Florida

South Florida’s construction industry imports large quantities of architectural glass, windows, doors, and glass products through PortMiami. Glass is one of the most fragile commodities in container drayage — requiring extra care during every move.

Fragility Requirements

Glass breakage during drayage is costly and dangerous. Impact-resistant packaging helps, but careful driving is essential. Avoid potholes, sudden braking, and sharp turns. Air-ride suspension trailers reduce vibration that causes micro-fractures in glass sheets and insulated units.

Hurricane-Impact Glass

Miami’s building codes require hurricane-impact glass for many applications. Imported impact glass is expensive — $50-$200 per square foot — making damage prevention during drayage a financial priority. A single broken pane can cost more than the entire drayage fee.
