What Miami makes and ships

Miami at a glance

Miami International, first among U.S. airports for international freight in preliminary 2025 rankings, lands flowers, produce and seafood from Latin America. PortMiami's on-dock rail and the Hialeah yard tie the waterfront to the warehouse districts west of the airport.

Miami's freight is built on trade with Latin America and the Caribbean. Perishables fly into MIA and clear into cooler warehouses in Doral and Medley, while forwarders consolidate export cargo for island and South American buyers. PortMiami's container terminals connect by on-dock rail to the Hialeah rail yard, and the county lists dry and refrigerated warehouse and transload space next to that intermodal ramp. Southwest of downtown, the Redland farm district near Homestead grows avocados and other tropical fruit along with ornamental nursery stock.

So pallets here face two tests. Import perishables need pallets that stay strong in damp cold rooms and turn around onto reefers. Export freight leaving by air or sea for the Caribbean and Latin America needs heat-treated wood stamped under ISPM 15, and some exporters choose new or AAA stock so the wood and the mark are easy to inspect. Consumer-goods distributors serving South Florida stores run standard 48x40s through tight urban docks.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

Truck freight circles the airport on the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and Florida's Turnpike. PortMiami's on-dock rail runs daily double-stack trains to the Hialeah rail yard, which links to the national rail network. Port Everglades in Broward County adds a second container port to the north. Off-airport cargo areas in Doral and Airport West handle forwarding and cooler work. Exporters reach Latin America and the Caribbean by air through MIA or by sea through either port.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Miami.

Perishables importers near MIA should use Grade A or AAA pallets with solid deck boards; cold, damp rooms find every weak board. Exporters to Latin America and the Caribbean need HT pallets marked under ISPM 15, and new stock keeps the stamp crisp and the wood bright. Consumer-goods distributors can run Grade A recycled 48x40s for store deliveries and Grade B for floor-stacked or one-way freight. Your account manager confirms the grade spec and any HT stamp in writing.

Buying pallets in Miami: questions

What pallets should a flower or produce importer near MIA order?+
Grade A or AAA 48x40s with solid deck boards, because cooler floors stay wet and the same pallet often reloads onto a reefer. If a chain buyer or wholesaler has its own pallet rules, share them, and your account manager spells out the spec on the quote.
Do export loads leaving Doral forwarders for Latin America need HT pallets?+
In most cases, yes. Many countries in the region require ISPM 15 heat treatment and a legible stamp on wood packaging, whether cargo moves by air or by sea. We quote HT pallets from accredited heat-treatment facilities and confirm each destination's requirement before the load is built.
Can you deliver to warehouses in Medley and Hialeah Gardens?+
Yes. We deliver by the truckload to distribution and cooler docks across the Airport North and Airport West districts. The pallets come from an independent yard near your dock, and your account manager coordinates the appointment with your receiving office and confirms the grade.
Can Redland and Homestead growers get pallets during harvest?+
Yes. Tell your account manager which crops you pack and when they come in, and we line up truckloads from an independent yard near your packinghouse. Fruit going into coolers does best on Grade A or new pallets, and the spec is confirmed before delivery.
Where can I buy pallets in Miami, FL?+
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Miami, FL?+
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Miami, FL?+
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
