The route runs I-75 practically the whole way, north through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio into Michigan, about three to five days. Northbound demand peaks in spring, so booking a couple of weeks ahead during the return rush locks a better rate. Clear any Florida toll transponders before pickup so the carrier is not billed in transit.
