Capacity is tightening fast this quarter. Mark Seltzer on what the latest freight market data means for anyone shipping through Florida. 👇

I've been telling our team something for the last few weeks: hold onto good drivers, because capacity's tightening faster than it has in a while. The numbers back it up. Load-to-truck ratios are running more than 70% above where they were last year. Spot rates are up close to 44%. Trucks available t...

Same-day. Drayage. Cross-docking. White glove. Miami–Orlando linehaul. Most people who know Comet know us for one or two of these. The truth is, we run 26 distinct service categories out of two Florida hubs.

With capacity tightening across the market and load-to-truck ratios running well above last year's levels, businesses need a partner who can flex across more than just one type of load when the easy options dry up. One call to Comet covers a lot more ground than most people expect.

The numbers out this week show something a lot of shippers are already feeling: LTL carriers have pushed general rate increases of 6 to 9% through the third quarter, even as shipment volumes are down nearly 5% year over year. Costs are rising independent of how much freight is actually moving.

That's the kind of environment where a surprise rate increase can blow up a budget that was built on last quarter's numbers. It's exactly why Comet prices dedicated freight the way we do, a quote in September holds through the quarter. No mid-cycle general rate increase landing on your desk with no warning.

Happy 4th of July from your Comet family!

Today's about more than fireworks it's about the freedom that lets small, family-run businesses like ours grow into something we're proud of. 49 years in, and we're still driven by the same thing: showing up, doing right by our customers, and treating every delivery like it's our own.

Thank you to our incredible team, our loyal customers, and the partners who've stood by us. However you're celebrating today, we hope it's safe, joyful, and full of good company.

From envelopes to elephants, Comet delivers.

My father started this company in 1977.

He had one truck, a handful of clients, and a rule I still follow almost fifty years later: Treat every delivery like it's yours. Not like it's "a job." Not like it's "just a package." Like it's yours.

That mindset-built Comet Delivery Services from a single van in Miami to a fleet serving four Florida markets - Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Orlando.

It's why our drivers are contracted directly to Comet - no third parties, no load boards, no strangers behind the wheel. Many of them have been with us for over twenty years. They're TSA-certified and TWIC-cleared. And they answer to the same standard we do.

It's why we answer the phone on a Friday at 5pm the same way we answer it on a Monday at 9am.

In logistics, a lot of companies talk about reliability.

We built a 49-year business on it.

Second generation. Family owned. Still showing up.

Liftgate loading and unloading issues are one of the most common and least discussed causes of failed freight deliveries. In freight transportation, moving cargo from origin to destination is only part of the process. If the freight cannot be safely and efficiently loaded or unloaded upon arrival, the delivery is effectively incomplete. Businesses that overlook unloading requirements often face refused shipments, rescheduling fees, and operational disruptions that could have been avoided with proper planning.

Learn why liftgate unloading issues can make or break a freight delivery and how proper unloading planning prevents delays and refusals.

An urgent Amazon restock can determine whether a seller regains momentum or continues to lose visibility after an inventory shortage. When a product goes out of stock, the impact extends well beyond lost sales. Search rankings decline, advertising performance weakens, and competitors often step in to fill the gap. Even short disruptions can create lasting setbacks if inventory does not return quickly.

Urgent Amazon restock services help sellers recover quickly from inventory shortages with fast, reliable delivery to Amazon hubs.

Amazon sellers rely on a steady inventory flow to keep their listings performing at a high level. When products go out of stock, rankings slip, sales slow down, and recovery often takes more work than expected. To help sellers avoid these issues, Comet Delivery is introducing a new Florida FBA shipping service that gives brands a faster and more reliable way to move products from Miami arrival points into Amazon fulfillment centers across the state.

Florida FBA shipping support for Amazon sellers with fast restocks, hub transfers, and hands on communication for smooth inventory movement.

Thanksgiving week brings one of the busiest logistics periods of the year. Retailers rush to restock shelves, distributors face surging orders, and carriers juggle shifting delivery windows before the holiday slowdown. For Florida businesses, effective holiday freight planning is the difference between smooth operations and last-minute chaos.

Holiday freight planning helps Florida businesses manage tight Thanksgiving shipping schedules without stress or disruption.

Location is one of the most overlooked factors in logistics, but it can be the difference between on-time delivery and costly delays. In Florida, every shipment is competing with tourism traffic, seasonal port congestion, and rapid retail demand. Miami and Orlando stand out as the state’s strongest hubs because they link international gateways with central distribution points. Businesses that leverage both hubs gain hours of efficiency, stronger consistency, and more flexibility in how freight is routed.

Learn how Florida distribution hubs in Miami and Orlando cut transit times, improve supply chains, and keep freight moving fast.
