Smart Transport

What Smart Transport does

Smart Transport Inc. is a privately held, family-owned trucking and freight transportation company headquartered in Hialeah, Florida, operating across South Florida since 2004. The company provides a broad suite of road freight services including flatbed, step deck, dry van, power only, box truck, and specialized flatbed-with-Moffett piggyback forklift transport, complemented by an aviation/aerospace AOG division staffed by FAA-certified A&P mechanics for time-critical aircraft component movement.

The firm's service offering is differentiated primarily through regulatory and credentialed capabilities rather than technology: drivers are TSA-certified for airport ramp access (AOA/Airside), TWIC-certified for secured port access at Port of Miami and Port Everglades, and qualified for permit-assisted oversize and heavy haul movements. The fleet spans 35', 48', and 53' trailer configurations with weight limits up to 46,000 lbs, and the Moffett-equipped flatbeds enable self-unloading at sites without loading docks.

Commercially, Smart Transport operates a quote-based, transactional fee model with no public pricing, generating revenue per load through direct phone inquiries, email, and an online quote request form. Its go-to-market is inside sales-led targeting SMB and mid-market shippers in aerospace/aviation, construction, heavy equipment, freight forwarding, and port-related segments within Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. No external funding, M&A, partnerships, or institutional ownership have been disclosed.
