What we handle

Transloading Capabilities in South Florida

Every transload move is different — cargo type, container size, destination count, and timing all vary. We handle the full range of transload operations that flow through South Florida's import corridors.

Ocean-to-Truck (PortMiami)

Containers released at PortMiami dray directly to our Medley facility. We unload, palletize, and transfer to outbound trucks the same day — reducing your container dwell time and port charges.

Air-to-Truck (MIA Cargo)

Air freight released from MIA cargo terminals transloads to our facility in under 30 minutes. Cargo is sorted, palletized, and dispatched to regional truck carriers — ideal for time-sensitive import product.

Multi-Stop Consolidation

Freight from multiple inbound sources consolidated and re-sorted for multi-stop outbound delivery. We build loads by region, retailer, or customer — one inbound shipment redistributed to many destinations.

FAQ

Transloading Questions

What is transloading? +
Transloading is the process of transferring freight from one mode of transportation to another — typically from ocean container, rail, or air freight to over-the-road truck. At 3PL Prime, we receive your import freight from PortMiami or MIA, unload and palletize it, and dispatch it to outbound trucks serving South Florida and beyond.
Why is Medley, FL a good transloading location? +
Medley sits at the intersection of SR-826 and the Florida Turnpike — the primary freight corridors connecting PortMiami, MIA cargo, and I-95 to South Florida's distribution network. Our facility is 15 miles from PortMiami and 9 miles from MIA cargo, giving us fast access to both major import gateways without surface street delays.
Do you handle transloading for floor-loaded containers? +
Yes. Floor-loaded containers are our primary transload workload. We unload by hand, sort by SKU or destination if required, palletize, stretch-wrap, and prepare for outbound dispatch. 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers handled.
Can transloading and same-day outbound dispatch happen in one move? +
Yes — this is our standard transload workflow. Container arrives in the morning, freight is transloaded and palletized, outbound carriers are dispatched the same afternoon. Submit an RFQ so we can confirm timing based on your container size and freight type.
