When to use a broker, a carrier, or a 3PL in Miami and South Florida
Miami and South Florida is not one vendor type. The right first call depends on whether the freight still needs a building, a licensed desk, or a truck.
| When this is the job | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory, fulfillment, or staging near PortMiami | 3PL | The constraint is the building, cutoff, and handling—not a one-off truck. |
| A one-time or irregular lane after the freight is ready to roll | Freight broker | You need a licensed desk to source capacity, not a warehouse agreement. |
| A dedicated lane you can fill and schedule | Carrier | Direct USDOT or MC identity and equipment beat an extra handoff. |
