Top 10 Freight Companies in Fort Lauderdale (2026)

Broward County’s freight market runs on Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the I-95 and Florida Turnpike corridors. The companies below serve that market in 2026, covering drayage, LTL, truckload, freight forwarding, customs brokerage and warehousing, with locations and service focus for each.

Broward and Miami-Dade are effectively one freight market — most operators here also work PortMiami. If you are comparing the two gateways, see PortMiami vs. Port Everglades for imports.

How to shortlist for your freight

• Match the asset to the move. A national LTL network and an owner-operator drayage carrier solve different problems.
• Ask who owns the equipment. Brokered capacity is fine, but you should know which you are buying.
• Check port credentials if the move touches a terminal — bonded carrier status, UIIA, TWIC.
• Get accessorials in writing. See our guide to drayage accessorial charges at PortMiami and Port Everglades.
• Understand demurrage exposure. Our guide to Port Everglades demurrage and detention covers the clocks.

Frequently asked questions

Which port serves Fort Lauderdale?

Port Everglades, located in Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, is Broward County’s seaport and handles containers, cruise traffic and a large petroleum volume. Many Broward shippers also use PortMiami roughly 25 miles south, and most South Florida carriers work both terminals.

Do Fort Lauderdale freight companies also serve Miami?

Almost always. Broward and Miami-Dade function as a single freight market, and carriers routinely run drayage, LTL and truckload across both counties. When shortlisting, ask specifically which terminals a carrier is credentialed at rather than assuming county coverage.

What should I look for in a Broward drayage carrier?

Confirm UIIA membership, bonded carrier status if you move in-bond freight, TWIC-credentialed drivers for terminal access, chassis strategy, and whether the accessorial schedule is disclosed up front. Chassis availability and disclosed accessorials are the two factors that most often decide the real cost of a drayage move.
