Jacksonville—Florida’s largest city by both area and population—serves as the state’s primary logistics hub. JAXPORT handles more vehicles and containers than any other Florida port, while CSX railroad’s headquarters location makes the city a critical intermodal connection point. Certified forklift operators find abundant opportunities across this 1.7-million person metro.

The combination of deep-water port access, CSX rail headquarters, and proximity to I-10 and I-95 has attracted major distribution operations to Jacksonville’s westside and northside industrial parks. Amazon alone operates multiple fulfillment centers, while traditional port-related logistics provides steady employment at the Blount Island terminals. Florida’s lack of state income tax adds to take-home pay.
