St. Petersburg Freight Shipping

Freight shipping to and from the St. Petersburg, Florida, area is an essential part of the freight logistics industry. The city's location makes it a hub for freight transportation, with ports on both coasts, a major international airport, and numerous freight-handling facilities in the region. The Port of Tampa Bay is the largest port in Florida and one of the top 20 busiest ports in the United States. Shipping via this port primarily involves container cargo, bulk freight, project cargo such as heavy machinery or yachts, and automotive freight. The freight shipping market in Tampa Bay consists primarily of domestic freight shipments within the United States and Puerto Rico, but they also handle imports from Latin America and exports to Europe. St. Petersburg International Airport (PIE) is another central freight hub in the region, mainly handling air freight shipments. The airport provides air cargo services for commercial airlines such as FedEx, UPS, and private carriers. Some specialty companies at PIE include aircraft charter operators for large freight shipments or smaller companies that provide local delivery services throughout Tampa Bay via ground freight trucks or small planes.
