FL-only tool. Hurricane season is June 1 - November 30 with peak August-October. Average 2-4 named storms hit FL annually with 1 major (Cat 3+) every 1-2 years. Pre-storm buffer freight peaks 5-10 days ahead of landfall. Post-storm reconstruction tail typically 6-12 months for affected regions. FPS hurricane-season standing-order programs lock pre-June capacity for FL distributors at fixed pricing.
Florida averages 2-4 named tropical storms or hurricanes annually, with one major hurricane (Category 3+) every 1-2 years. Pre-storm buffer freight surges 5-10 days ahead of landfall as retailers, water/food distributors, building supply, generators, and emergency response shippers move 2-4x normal volume into FL. Post-storm reconstruction tail runs 6-12 months as lumber, drywall, roofing, insulation, plywood, fuel, and FEMA-coordinated relief freight elevate demand 20-40% above baseline.
Pallet supply is a critical link. Operations without a pre-locked FL pallet supplier face stock-outs at peak surge, last-minute price spikes (often 30-80% above contract), and reverse-logistics chaos as damaged pallets need disposal/buy-back during cleanup. FL-localized pallet supply with multi-region redundancy (PortMiami + Tampa + Orlando + Jacksonville) is the standard for hurricane-resilient operations.
FPS hurricane-season standing-order programs lock pre-June capacity for FL distributors at fixed pricing. Programs include: monthly minimum volume commitment, multi-FL-facility allocation, 24/7 emergency dispatch line, post-storm priority routing, and post-storm pallet damage buy-back at standing-order rates. Critical for FL water/food distributors, building supply, generator/fuel suppliers, and any operation that sees 2-4x volume spikes during named storm threats.
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 - November 30, with peak activity August-October. FL averages 2-4 named storms annually and one major hurricane (Cat 3+) every 1-2 years. Pre-storm buffer freight begins surging 5-10 days ahead of named-storm landfall thresholds.
Typical pre-storm buffer freight runs 2-4x normal volume for water, food, generators, plywood, and emergency response SKUs starting 5-10 days ahead of landfall. Post-storm reconstruction tail elevates volume 20-40% above baseline for 6-12 months for lumber, drywall, roofing, fuel, insurance restoration, and FEMA-coordinated relief freight.
FPS hurricane standing-order programs lock pre-June 1 capacity at fixed pricing. Programs include: monthly minimum volume commitment, allocation across multiple FL facilities (PortMiami + Tampa + Orlando + Jacksonville), 24/7 emergency dispatch line, post-storm priority routing within 48-72 hours of road clearance, and post-storm pallet damage buy-back at standing-order rates. Critical for FL water/food distributors, building supply, generator/fuel suppliers, and any operation that sees 2-4x volume spikes during storm threats.
Flooded pallets typically require disposal/buy-back due to mold growth, dimensional damage, and contamination concerns - especially for FSMA food-grade and pharma operations. FPS post-storm protocol: damage assessment within 48-72 hours, buy-back at standing-order pricing for salvage-grade pallets, replacement pallets dispatched on priority routing. Document damage with photos + chain of custody for insurance/FEMA claims.
Yes for hurricane resilience. A storm hitting Miami can take PortMiami offline 48-72 hours and disrupt South FL logistics for weeks. Multi-FL-facility suppliers (FPS hubs in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville) can route around regional disruption to keep your operation supplied. Single-region or out-of-FL-state suppliers cannot match this resilience.
Spot pricing during pre-storm surge (5-10 days pre-landfall) typically runs 30-80% above contract rates due to capacity tightness. Standing-order programs locked pre-June 1 hold contract pricing through the entire season - immune to spot premiums. Standing-order minimum volume commitments typically pay back the contract premium within 1-2 storm events. Cost analysis available via /contact.
