The Boeing 757 Freighter (built as 757-200PF from the factory, or converted PCF/SF from ex-passenger airframes) is a narrowbody workhorse with more range than a 737 freighter and enough payload for medium-density regional cargo. Naples-market work runs through MIA and MCO; RSW handles it occasionally.
First 757-200PF delivery to UPS September 1987; PCF conversions began in the 2000s (Precision, Pemco, ST Aerospace). Main-deck cargo volume 6,600 cubic feet (around 187 cubic meters). Range 2,935 nautical miles at typical 71,000 to 84,000-pound payload (varies by conversion). Cruise Mach 0.80, ceiling 42,000 feet. Length 155.3 feet, wingspan 124.8 feet.

Why the Boeing 757 Freighter Fits Naples
MIA to Caribbean daily runs are the 757 Freighter’s home. The type moves e-commerce, perishables, and pharmaceutical cargo into Nassau, Santo Domingo, San Juan, and Kingston on regular schedules that Naples-market retail and Amazon fulfillment tap into.
The 2,935-nautical-mile range covers MIA to South America (Bogota, Quito, Lima) and MIA transcon to Anchorage or Seattle for onward Asia routing. That is a longer leg than a 737F can cover with a full cargo load.
Seasonal produce and stone crab reposition (October to May) fit the 757F profile: pallet-optimized cargo moving from MIA to Northeast markets on overnight schedules. Hurricane Ian (2022) precedent: the 757F was part of the narrowbody airlift into RSW and PGD.
