Pet transport demand in Jacksonville
Jacksonville is Florida's largest city by land area and one of the Navy's primary East Coast installations. Naval Station Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, and Blount Island Command give the city a military population that makes PCS pet transport the dominant use case on Ferried here. Recurring corridors run to Norfolk, Charleston, Pensacola, and Bremerton — the full arc of East Coast and Gulf Coast naval installations. Jacksonville's position on I-95 makes it a natural waypoint on the Miami-to-Atlanta corridor, so the city benefits from heavy through-traffic driver coverage on top of its own origin-and-destination demand. Most Jacksonville requests draw competing bids quickly regardless of direction.
