Almost every import or export container that moves through South Florida needs a truck at one end. PortMiami and Port Everglades sit about 25 miles apart, and the drayage companies that serve them range from asset-based carriers to warehouse operators that run their own port trucks. This article lists ten container drayage companies with a real South Florida presence, so you can see who does what before you request quotes.
How this list was built. Disclosure: Dray Hub (Go Drayage), listed first, is a company I am affiliated with. The remaining companies are ordered by how prominently their own websites appeared in web search results for container drayage queries covering Miami, PortMiami and Port Everglades in October 2026. Search prominence changes often and is not a measure of quality. Companies whose own websites did not appear in those results follow in alphabetical order. Each description comes from the company’s own website. No company paid to be included. Authority, insurance, equipment and service details change, so verify them directly with any company before you tender freight.

How to Choose
- Match the equipment to the container. Reefer, hazmat, overweight, flat rack and open-top containers each need specific equipment and permits. Ask for it in writing.
- Confirm authority and insurance. Check the carrier’s USDOT and MC status, UIIA participation and insurance certificates yourself. If you are new to vetting carriers, start with these five questions to ask before hiring a freight carrier.
- Ask which port and terminal they pull from. PortMiami and Port Everglades have different terminals and gate procedures. Make sure the company works at yours.
- Get every accessorial priced up front. Chassis, pre-pull, storage, wait time and fuel should appear on the quote. Our guide on how to audit a drayage invoice explains each line.
- Understand the clock on your container. Free time runs out quickly, so ask how the company schedules pickups. See demurrage vs detention for the difference between the two charges.
- Decide whether you need more than a truck. If the container needs unloading, transloading or storage, a company with a nearby warehouse can save a handoff. If you are new to the term, read what drayage means and how it works.
Use this list as a starting point, then request quotes from two or three companies that match your cargo and delivery area.
