The route
Northbound trucks take I-75 from Naples and Fort Myers up through Tampa, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Cincinnati and Toledo into Detroit. Fort Myers to Detroit is 1,282 miles.
Grand Rapids and Lansing deliveries leave I-75 for I-96 or I-69. Traverse City and northern Michigan take longer to reach and add about $150 for the distance from the main carrier routes.
When to book
Northbound demand peaks from March through May: Fort Myers to Detroit is about $1,735 for an April pickup and $1,435 in November. Michigan can still see snow in early April, so your driver may wait out a storm before the final leg.
Good to know
Many Michigan owners ship from a condo or manufactured-home community. Check whether the community allows a 75-foot truck inside; if not, meet the driver at the entrance or a nearby shopping-center lot.
