Where the freight goes
Most Florida pickups came from Ocala, FL, Tampa, FL, Miami, FL and Jacksonville, FL, and the most common Georgia delivery cities were Savannah, GA, Tucker, GA, Atlanta, GA and Forest Park, GA.
Shipping between Florida and Georgia
Florida is a peninsula: far more freight comes in than goes out, and carriers price inbound and outbound lanes differently for that reason. Deliveries cluster around Miami–South Florida, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville, along I-95, I-75 and I-4.
Georgia is the Southeast's distribution hub. Atlanta sits where I-75, I-85 and I-20 meet, and the Port of Savannah is one of the busiest container ports in the U.S., so a lot of imported freight moves inland from the coast by LTL.
Carrier pricing is contract-specific, so two shippers moving identical freight from Florida to Georgia routinely pay different amounts.
