The twelve long-haul lanes we run most
Andre Coleman leads our interstate board, and the lanes below are ones we’re on every month. Grand Rapids sits on the US-131 and I-96 spine, with I-196 running southwest to Chicago, so we reach the Midwest fast and the South and Plains on realistic multi-day windows. Every long-haul job is a binding flat rate written before we load, with US DOT and MC authority on file.
In-region lanes (1-2 days)
- Grand Rapids to Chicago, IL — about 180 mi via I-196 to I-94. Our most-run lane.
- Grand Rapids to Detroit, MI — about 160 mi straight out I-96. Often a single day.
- Grand Rapids to Indianapolis, IN — about 270 mi via US-131 to US-31.

Sample 1-bedroom flat-rate anchors
Chicago starts around $1,500-$2,200, Indianapolis around $1,650-$2,400, Nashville around $2,100-$3,000, Atlanta around $2,450-$3,450, Dallas around $3,000-$4,200, and Denver around $3,050-$4,250. Bigger loads scale with cubic feet, and every job is walked and quoted in writing before you sign.
What ‘same crew, both ends’ means
On every interstate job, the Grand Rapids W-2 crew that loads you is the same crew that unloads you at the destination. No handoff to an agent network, and no day-labor waiting at the far end. Request a written long-haul quote and Andre will scope the lane personally.
