Florida industry demand for dunnage
Florida's dunnage consumption is driven by three distinct industrial zones: the Jaxport-Port Miami-Port Everglades export freight corridor (every heavy-lift and breakbulk shipment leaving a Florida port requires ISPM-15 stamped dunnage), Space Coast aerospace at Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center (precision rocket-component moves consume heavy timber dunnage in engineered configurations), and the citrus-and-ag processing belt (Lake Wales, Winter Haven, LaBelle, Immokalee).
For Florida manufacturing (Harris Corporation Melbourne, Lockheed Martin Orlando, Siemens Energy Orlando), heavy-timber dunnage ships for machinery and sub-assembly transport. For Florida ag-chem (ammonium phosphate operations in Mulberry, Bone Valley), heavy-timber dunnage ships for bulk-chemical rail transport.
Jaxport breakbulk and ISPM-15 export dunnage
Jaxport (JAXPORT) runs some of the heaviest breakbulk freight on the East Coast - military ro-ro, auto imports, project cargo, pulp-and-paper export. Every wood dunnage component in a breakbulk shipment requires ISPM-15 heat-treatment and IPPC stamping. Our Jacksonville-area yard stocks ISPM-15 stamped dunnage in all grades for continuous breakbulk and project cargo dispatch.
For Latin American export (Panama Canal transit, Caribbean distribution via Port Miami and Port Everglades), heat-treated dunnage is standard. For Puerto Rico container-barge freight through Jacksonville and Miami, ISPM-15 dunnage is specified.
Standard, heavy timber, and laminated grades at the Florida yard
Standard dunnage (same-day Florida)
Kiln-dried Southern yellow pine 2-by-4, 2-by-6, 4-by-4, 4-by-6, 6-by-6 in random lengths 8 to 20 feet - stocked at the Central Florida yard for same-day delivery in 19 counties. Standard dunnage runs the volume use cases: appliance truckload, auto parts, construction material shipment, warehouse-floor leveling.
Heavy timber (1-3 day Florida)
6-by-6, 8-by-8, and 10-by-10 Douglas fir and Southern yellow pine for coil shipment and heavy project cargo. Partial yard stock in Central Florida; most sizes ship 1-3 day from the Southeast regional yard.
Laminated dunnage (3-7 day on order)
Cross-banded ply-and-glue construction for high-value Florida export freight and moisture-exposed shipping lanes (Port Everglades Caribbean container, Jaxport-to-Latin-America ocean freight). Lead time 3 to 7 days from PO; custom cuts 10 to 15 days.
ISPM-15 export (1-2 day stamp lead)
Any dunnage grade can be heat-treated and IPPC-stamped. Our APHIS-registered facility stamps within 1-2 business days of order. For export freight through Florida ports we recommend 2-day lead to combine stamping and delivery.
Florida citrus and ag processing dunnage
The Florida citrus industry (Lake Wales, Winter Haven, Fort Pierce, Immokalee) consumes dunnage both in-grove (fruit-bin stacking in cold-storage) and in-shipping (export dunnage for OJ concentrate and specialty-crop ocean freight). For specialty-crop packhouses, standard 2-by-4 dunnage ships on continuous replenishment. For ocean freight at Port Tampa and Port Everglades we ship ISPM-15 stamped dunnage for container stuffing.
For Florida tomato (Ruskin, Immokalee, Palmetto), bell pepper (Plant City, Palmetto), and specialty-vegetable export we supply dunnage for packout, cold-storage stacking, and container ship-out.
What a Florida dunnage quote looks like
Send us: application (truckload loading, rail bracing, container stuffing, port breakbulk, packhouse), the typical weekly volume, the Florida or Southeast ship-to county, and whether this is export (ISPM-15) or domestic. For standing programs we quote a monthly rate with scheduled replenishment.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver dunnage to Jaxport same-day?
For Duval County same-day dispatch, orders confirmed before 2 PM EST ship from the Central Florida yard same business day with roughly 3-4 hour delivery to the Jaxport terminals. For continuous breakbulk programs we also stock inventory at a Jacksonville-area yard for sub-hour dispatch.
What is the lead time for ISPM-15 stamped dunnage out of Port Everglades?
Our standard ISPM-15 stamping cycle is 1-2 business days. For Port Everglades (Broward County) delivery we recommend 2-day lead to combine stamping and same-day Broward delivery.
Do you supply dunnage for Space Coast rocket-component moves?
Yes - for Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral we supply engineered-drawing dunnage kits for rocket-component rail, road, and barge transport. Full documentation chain available on request.
Can you supply dunnage on a standing weekly program for Florida citrus packhouses?
Yes - we run standing weekly programs for Florida citrus (Lake Wales, Winter Haven, LaBelle, Immokalee, Fort Pierce) with published monthly volumes and dedicated yard inventory. Program pricing is better than spot-order pricing for 10,000+ linear feet per month.
What is the typical price for 2-by-4 dunnage delivered to Orlando?
Standard kiln-dried 2-by-4 dunnage in random lengths runs $0.70 to $1.15 per linear foot delivered to Orlando (Orange County) for same-day orders. Volume orders (10,000+ linear feet per month) run at the lower end of the band.
Do you supply heavy timber dunnage for Florida phosphate rail shipments?
Yes - the Mulberry and Bone Valley phosphate operations consume heavy-timber dunnage continuously for bulk-chemical rail transport. We supply 6-by-6 and 8-by-8 Douglas fir and Southern yellow pine on standing weekly programs with 1-3 day lead from the Central Florida yard.
Can wood dunnage handle Florida humid storage conditions?
Standard kiln-dried dunnage handles typical Florida indoor and short-term outdoor storage. For long-term outdoor exposure (above 60 days) in Florida humidity we recommend laminated dunnage, which is dimensionally stable in high-moisture environments.
Do you supply AAR OTL dunnage for rail freight through Florida?
Yes - for Florida East Coast Railway and CSX freight originating in Florida we supply AAR OTL-grade dunnage to published spec. For engineered-drawing shipments we work with the railroad engineering group on drawing approvals.
What species do you supply in Florida?
Primary species is Southern yellow pine (regional, available continuously). We also supply Douglas fir for heavy timber grades. For hardwood (oak, maple) applications we quote on request.
Can you supply ISPM-15 dunnage for Puerto Rico container-barge freight?
Yes - Puerto Rico container-barge freight through Jaxport and Port Miami requires ISPM-15 stamping. We supply heat-treated and IPPC-stamped dunnage for continuous Puerto Rico shipment programs.
