The Florida Delivery and Logistics Association (FDLA) traces its roots back to 1989, when it was founded as the Florida Messenger Association (FMA). The FMA was created to unite and support Florida’s couriers, messengers, and delivery professionals, promoting the highest levels of service, ethics, and reliability across the industry.

In 2026, the organization evolved into the Florida Delivery and Logistics Association to better represent the state’s rapidly growing and diversifying logistics ecosystem. This expansion opened membership to a wider range of professionals—including LTL carriers, trucking companies, warehousing and distribution firms, technology providers, shippers, and vendors—reflecting the interconnected nature of modern logistics.
