 As for cargo traffic, truckers state that despite the longer miles, they can make more trips per day at Port Everglades.Also, they blame the port itself for this, not the Downtown traffic.They state that at Port Everglades, they can make three to four runs a day, versus Port of Miami where "you're lucky if you get in two," states truck driver Alejandro Arrieta, due to waiting time at the port, which is often several hours.
