DeSantis Invites Shipping to Florida Ports as Vessels Idle in California Backlog

Amid a global supply chain shortage and backlogs in states like California, Florida ports are taking on extra vessels and offering incentives to companies to send their goods through ports in the Sunshine State,Gov. Ron DeSantis announced at a press conference in Jacksonville, Fla. on Tuesday.

"We in Florida have the ability to help alleviate these logjams,” DeSantis said. "We’re here, we have capacity. And not only that, I’m proud to announce … that JAXPORT and some of the other ports are also stepping up even above and beyond by offering incentive packages to businesses who want to move their cargo through these ports.”

Leaders from ports around the state joined DeSantis to urge companies that "we want your business.”

This is what should have happened long ago. California is not business friendly, so why do we rely on it to supply our nation's needs?

Florida can become the center for shipping if the Golden State wants draconian laws about truck ages and no independent drivers. Let them tarnish while the Sunshine State shines.
