Florida charges 36.2¢ per gallon in diesel tax. Calculate your FL IFTA liability for I-75 and I-95 corridors, and plan fuel stops in Alabama (28.5¢) or Georgia (33.1¢) before entering the state.
Florida's diesel tax rate of 36.2 cents per gallon is moderate for the Southeast — higher than Georgia (33.1¢) and Alabama (28.5¢) but well below the Northeast rates. Because Florida is a peninsula with only two main entry corridors from the north (I-75 from Georgia and I-95 along the east coast), every truck enters via Georgia or Alabama — making those states the natural pre-fill opportunity.
Florida is a top-5 state for freight volume — the Miami port complex, the Jacksonville logistics hub, and the Orlando distribution corridor all generate year-round demand. South Florida adds significant toll costs on top of IFTA through SunPass-managed expressways and the Florida Turnpike. A full pre-fill in Valdosta, GA or Mobile, AL before entering Florida is standard practice for regional carriers.
I-75 (West Coast Corridor): Georgia border south through Gainesville, Tampa, Naples to Miami. Primary freight artery for the west coast of Florida and agricultural freight from South Florida farms.
I-95 (East Coast Corridor): Georgia border south through Jacksonville, Daytona, Fort Lauderdale to Miami. Port of Miami container and consumer goods corridor.
I-10 (Northern Florida): Alabama border east through Tallahassee, Jacksonville. Primary freight entry from the west — fuel up in Mobile, AL before entering Florida.
Florida Turnpike (SR 91): Connects I-75 near Naples to I-95 in Miami. Heavy toll costs for trucks — plan for per-axle SunPass charges.
