Shipping from Seattle

Seattle, WA freight rates Not only can Seattle boast a Super Bowl winning football team, excellent coffee and a vibrant music scene, it is also a great air and ocean gateway for cargo from Asia to multiple points in North America. The Port of Seattle is made up of 1,543 acres of waterfront land and nearby properties including container terminals, general purpose/cargo terminals, a Foreign Trade Zone, break-bulk cargo and refrigerated cargo and storage. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers cargo options from 20 U.S. and 14 foreign carriers, as well as a concentration of nearby freight forwarders, customs brokers, distribution centers and other logistics supply chain service providers. Most of the state of Washington’s rail lines connect to the busy ports, allowing for local shipping rates to remain low and reasonable. LTL freight is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the state. Winter weather in the mountainous regions of the state can affect price and efficiency of cargo moving on the ground to and from the city.

Shipping to Detroit

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.
