Detroit, Michigan freight rates The Motor City offers several convenient and efficient options for shipping cargo in and out of the region. Michigan is one of only two Great Lakes states with toll-free highways, which lowers the cost of transporting items to and from Detroit. The city also serves as the busiest border crossing in North America, with more than 10,000 trucks crossing the Ambassador Bridge into Canada daily. The Detroit region is served by four of the seven national Class I railroads, unique to only one-third of the nation, and three of the four railroads have intermodal terminals in the region. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport ranks in the top 25 for cargo movement in North America. The Port of Detroit is the third largest international gateway in the U.S. It connects the Great Lakes and the entire Midwest to the St. Lawrence Seaway, and imports over 750 million tons of steel annually.

Shipping to Indianapolis

Indianapolis, IN freight rates Home of the famed Indianapolis 500 auto race, the Indianapolis metro area can speedily handle a variety of freight shipping needs. Its convenient location and amenities also mean lower freight hauling costs in and out of the region. Truck haulers can use one of six interstate highways (I-65, I-70, I-74, I-69, I-465, I-865) and can keep costs down by avoiding toll roads in the region. From the city, trucks can reach 75 percent of U.S. and Canadian populations within 36 hours. In addition, Indianapolis is the second largest FedEx hub in the world and ranks No. 9 in the nation in total rail miles, moving nearly 290 million rail tons of freight in 2013. These advantages provide quicker fulfillment, better customer satisfaction and lower costs.
