Mares Agency arranges drayage, truckload and transload capacity for shippers moving freight through South Florida. Price your move online in about a minute, then pick the service level that fits.
Tell us what is moving and where. You will see three service levels with the price built up line by line, and you can send the one you want straight to our desk.
Choose one and send it over. We confirm the rate in writing before anything is dispatched.
One point of contact from the terminal appointment to the delivery signature. No handoffs between three departments who each know a third of your load.
Container pickup and empty return at Port Everglades and PortMiami. We watch the appointment windows, the last free day and the per-diem clock, and tell you when one of them is about to cost you money.
Dry van, reefer and flatbed across Florida and the Southeast, with national lanes covered through vetted carrier partners. Insurance and authority verified before a truck is assigned.
Ocean container stripped into domestic trailers, palletized or floor-loaded, with storage while your DC catches up. Useful when the container has to go back before the freight has somewhere to go.
Delivery orders, bills of lading, customs release status and terminal appointments tracked in one place, with a status you can forward to your customer without editing it first.
Permits, escorts and specialized equipment for loads that do not fit a standard trailer. Quoted case by case.
Mares started as a commercial agent for truckers, and that has not changed with the name on the door. Forwarders and steamship lines needing dependable South Florida coverage reach the same desk.
Four steps, and you hear from us at each one.
Enter the move above and see three service levels with the costs broken out.
Same day in most cases, with the assumptions written down so nothing shifts later.
Carrier vetted, insurance verified, terminal appointment set, tracking shared.
Accessorials itemized and raised with you before they land on the bill.
Our business model allows us to white glove each customer, offering boutique services that focus on you.
That is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. The person who quotes your load is the person who manages it, so a customs hold, a chassis split or a driver waiting ninety minutes at a warehouse gets handled rather than queued behind volume.
The business is built on time spent around marine terminals, not only in front of a load board. That shows up in the practical parts: knowing why an appointment is unavailable, what a dual transaction saves you, and when a container genuinely cannot come out today.
The goal is straightforward. Fewer surprises, and a rate that still means the same thing at invoice.
Not a standard move, or driving for a living? Reach us here and we will come back to you.
For anything the quote form does not cover — project cargo, recurring lane pricing, warehousing, or carrier onboarding — email or call and you will reach the person who handles it.
Carriers: send your MC number, W-9 and certificate of insurance and we will get you set up.
