Shipping from Michigan
Michigan freight rates Michigan, like other Upper Midwest states, has a large volume of freight shipping due to industrial manufacturing and automobile industries. Bringing freight into the state is usually more affordable than hauling freight out of Michigan. Intra-Michigan freight shipping is an integral part of the local economy and is very abundant in the state. This makes LTL freight shipping inside Michigan very affordable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Michigan can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Arizona
Arizona freight rates Arizona freight rates are substantially affected by the produce market. Outbound freight can be expensive in the spring, summer and even fall months due to the warmer desert climate which creates a longer growing season. Products arriving from Mexico can also affect freight rates in Arizona. Arizona is a medium consumption state, so LTL freight rates are relatively cheap due to a moderate amount of freight moving in the state. There are numerous unpopulated desert areas, so shipping to those zip codes can be high cost. The copper industry is strong and with major railroad access, intermodal freight rates are reasonable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Arizona can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
