Michigan freight seasons

Produce season

Michigan cherries in summer and apples in fall give reefers strong outbound loads.

Plant shutdowns

Auto plants often pause for model-year changeovers in summer, which can soften auto freight for a few weeks.

Winter

Heavy snow, especially in west Michigan, slows trucks from December to March.

How we keep Michigan trucks profitable

Expedited auto parts

When an assembly line needs parts fast, sprinter vans and box trucks get premium expedited loads. We target these for smaller equipment.

Plan the way out

Michigan sits at the end of many lanes, so we book your outbound load before you deliver into the state.

Canada freight needs paperwork

Cross-border loads need the right customs documents, and drivers need a valid passport or FAST card. We check before booking.

Dispatch pricing: from 4% of the gross load

Dispatch fees are 4% of the gross load for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only, 6% for box trucks and hotshots, and 10% for sprinter vans, paid only after the broker pays, with no setup fee or contract. Fleet rates are negotiable. See full pricing
