Founded more than 25 years ago, MyFreightWorld helps businesses move products and materials across the country. The company expanded into West Palm Beach in 2024 when it acquired Franklin National, keeping local employees and experience in place. Today, its West Palm Beach team supports customers nationwide.
The Business Development Board of the Palm Beaches has been assisting the company throughout the expansion, providing expedited permitting support in coordination with the City of West Palm Beach and making introductions to CareerSource Palm Beach County — which has already begun placing local candidates into open positions.
“We’ve been in the West Palm Beach market for nearly two and a half years now. Due to the quality of the workforce, it’s become a key component to our ongoing growth plans at MyFreightWorld. We look forward to growing our presence here indefinitely,” said Mike Chalfant, President at MyFreightWorld.
“West Palm Beach is building an economy that creates opportunity today and for generations to come. MyFreightWorld’s decision to expand here and create 41 new jobs reflects the confidence companies have in our city, our workforce, and our future. As we continue attracting businesses in logistics, technology, finance, and engineering, we are strengthening our economy, expanding career opportunities, and reinforcing West Palm Beach’s position as one of the nation’s most dynamic places to do business,” said Mayor Keith A. James, City of West Palm Beach.
“Forty-one families will earn a good living here because of this decision, and that is what economic development is really about. MyFreightWorld could have grown anywhere. They chose to stay in West Palm Beach because of the people they were able to hire here, which tells you something about the talent in this county. Those paychecks will show up in our restaurants, our neighborhoods, and our schools long after the announcement,” said Kelly Smallridge, President and CEO of the Business Development Board of the Palm Beaches.
Palm Beach County’s distribution and logistics sector employs 6,260 local residents across 600 companies, with an average annual salary of $87,640. MyFreightWorld’s decision to expand here reinforces the region’s ability to attract and retain companies that create strong careers for local residents. This expansion means 41 more households earning a good living in Palm Beach County rather than somewhere else. As those employees live, shop and spend locally—and as the company invests in its operations—the economic impact extends throughout the community, supporting local businesses and expanding the tax base that helps fund public services across the Palm Beaches.
