Miami is a busy market for less-than-truckload (LTL) freight. Shippers here move goods to and from the port, the airport, the Medley and Doral warehouse districts, and customers across South Florida and the Southeast. Picking the right LTL carrier can affect your transit times, your accessorial charges and how smoothly claims go.
How this list was put together. Disclosure: Go LTL Hub, listed first, is a company I am affiliated with. The remaining carriers are ordered by how prominently their own websites appeared in web search results for the queries “LTL carrier Miami,” “LTL freight shipping Miami FL” and “LTL trucking company South Florida” in October 2026. Search prominence changes and is not a measure of quality. Companies whose own websites did not appear in those results follow in alphabetical order. Descriptions come from each carrier’s own website. No company paid to be included. Please verify transit times, coverage and liability limits directly with each carrier before you ship.

How to Choose
- Match the carrier to your lanes. A carrier with direct service on your most common lanes usually means fewer transfers. Ask for transit times on your actual origin and destination ZIP codes.
- Get your classification right. Weight, dimensions and density drive the price. Review freight class and NMFC codes before you request quotes so reclassification does not surprise you later.
- Read the accessorial list. Liftgate, residential delivery, limited access and inside delivery are charged separately. See the LTL accessorial charges guide to avoid the common ones.
- Know when LTL is the wrong tool. Larger shipments may price better as a different mode. This comparison of volume LTL vs. partial truckload can help you decide.
- Check liability limits. Carrier liability for cargo is limited and varies by tariff. Read the carrier’s terms and consider how the Carmack Amendment works before shipping high-value freight.
- Confirm special needs early. Hazmat, airport transfers, cross-border moves and Caribbean freight are not offered the same way by every carrier. Confirm them in writing before booking.
