The route between Orlando and Miami

Tolled almost the whole way: Florida's Turnpike is a cash/SunPass toll road for that 214-mile stretch.

What can delay a shipment on this lane?
- The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A named storm near the coast can close roads, stall pickups and fill the highways with evacuation traffic for days, so a pickup booked in that stretch should have a flexible window. (National Hurricane Center, read 2026-09-26)
- In a major hurricane evacuation, Florida can open the paved shoulders as an extra lane on set stretches of I-75 (including Alligator Alley), I-95 north of Jupiter, Florida's Turnpike north of West Palm Beach, I-4 and I-10. Large trucks and trailers are not allowed on the shoulder, so a car carrier stays in the slower general lanes while other traffic gets the extra lane.
