The Jacksonville Trucking Market
Jacksonville is the logistics gateway to Florida. JAXPORT is one of the nation's premier maritime facilities, particularly for vehicle imports and exports to Puerto Rico. Because the Florida peninsula consumes vastly more freight than it produces, carriers rely heavily on Jacksonville-based drivers to run loaded containers down the I-95 corridor and manage the complex logistics of getting trucks back out of the state.
Jacksonville's status as a premier Ro-Ro and container port requires a massive, locally based driver capacity.
Local Market Stats:
- Average Starting Pay: $73,000 - $80,000
- Key Freight Corridors: I-95, I-10, I-295
