Detroit route notes

Detroit logistics & pickup coordination

Winter weather is the main variable: from late fall through early spring, flexible pickup dates help, and many owners choose enclosed transport to keep road salt off the car. Detroit is also a heavy snowbird origin, with strong seasonal volume south to Florida and Arizona, and I-75 and I-94 keep lanes frequent and well priced.
