Port drayage you control, not coordinate
Your drayage should be your competitive edge.
When your Miami logistics provider operates their own drayage fleet, everything changes. You're not waiting on a third-party carrier to confirm availability. You're not managing the communication gap between your Florida warehouse and your drayage company. You have one operation, one team, and one point of accountability from the moment your container leaves the Port of Miami.
GEODIS runs company-owned drayage at the Miami gateway. That means we handle your port pickup directly and move your freight into our Hialeah facility without the handoffs that slow programs down and create unnecessary cost. Our Hialeah facility sits 12 miles from the Port of Miami and 9 miles from Miami International Airport, with the Florida Turnpike, I-75, and the Palmetto Expressway (826) providing direct access for onward distribution. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is 21 miles out, and Port Everglades is just 24 miles away.
- Get port drayage handled by a company-owned fleet with no third-party coordination required
- Move freight from port pickup to warehouse intake under a single Miami 3PL operation
- Reduce demurrage exposure with faster port-to-warehouse transfer
- Use direct access to the Florida Turnpike, I-75, and Palmetto Expressway for regional distribution
- Connect to Miami International Airport just 9 miles away for air freight-connected import programs
- Get full visibility across your drayage and warehousing Miami operations through integrated reporting
The difference between coordinating drayage and owning it is the difference between hoping the pieces fit together and knowing they will. We help you get there.
A gateway built for food and agricultural imports
Food freight has no margin for error.
Miami is one of the most active U.S. ports for food and agricultural imports, particularly from South American markets. Most gateway facilities can't meet the food-grade requirements those programs demand. Our Hialeah facility is food-grade certified, which means you don't have to choose between a capable port gateway and a compliant storage environment. You get both.
That matters because food and agricultural import programs have requirements that standard warehouse operations simply don't accommodate. Product integrity, facility cleanliness standards, and security all come into play. GEODIS operates the Miami gateway with the infrastructure to handle those requirements alongside full port drayage and outbound distribution.
- Run food-grade import programs in a purpose-built C-TPAT certified Miami 3PL facility
- Handle agricultural commodities, packaged foods, and consumer goods with food-grade storage requirements
- Connect South American food and agricultural supply chains to U.S. domestic distribution through the Port of Miami
- Combine food-grade warehousing with company-owned port drayage under a single operation
- Operate within 24-hour security coverage with an ESFR sprinkler system suited to food and consumer goods environments
- Use picking, packing, and inventory management from the same certified Florida warehouse
For food and agricultural importers moving product through Miami, this combination can be hard to find elsewhere. You get a certified facility, a company-owned drayage fleet, and full outbound distribution all under one roof.
Miami warehouse space designed for serious import programs
Enterprise freight needs room to operate.
High-volume import programs don't fit in undersized facilities. You need real dock capacity, trailer staging room, ceiling height that supports efficient racking, and food-grade certification if your product demands it. Our South Florida warehouse has all of that, along with the security infrastructure to protect what's inside.
GEODIS operates 250,000 sq ft of Florida warehousing at the Hialeah facility with 40+ loading dock doors, 60+ trailer parking spots, and a 36' ceiling height. That's the space and infrastructure to run serious Miami distribution center programs without the bottlenecks that come with smaller operations. For importers moving food or agricultural products, the facility is food-grade certified.
- Access 250,000 sq ft of warehousing Miami space with flexible bulk storage and rack configurations
- Stage and manage freight across 60+ trailer parking spots with 40+ dock doors
- Run food-grade storage programs in a certified Florida warehouse built for food and agricultural imports
- Operate within 24-hour security coverage with infrared systems, CCTV, and an ESFR sprinkler system
- Use picking, packing, and inventory management services from the same facility
- Get real-time KPI reporting and visibility across your Florida distribution center operations
Enterprise import programs need a facility that can actually handle them. The Miami gateway was built with that in mind.

Our Hialeah facility sits 12 miles from the Port of Miami and 9 miles from Miami International Airport, with direct access to the Florida Turnpike, I-75, and the Palmetto Expressway (826) for outbound distribution. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is 21 miles out and Port Everglades is 24 miles away, giving the gateway strong reach across South Florida's freight network.
The facility is C-TPAT certified and operates with 24-hour security coverage, an infrared security system, CCTV throughout, and an ESFR sprinkler system with pump. Secured perimeters and controlled access protect cargo from arrival through outbound. Our security team designs site-specific protection programs for each client operation.
The Miami gateway works well for retail and FMCG importers running large-volume programs through the Port of Miami, food and agricultural importers who need food-grade certified storage, consumer goods companies needing cross-docking and South Florida warehouse distribution, and high-value cargo importers who require robust security infrastructure and real-time visibility.
