Detroit sits just 60 miles south of us, and it is the shortest lane on our board. We slip down M-24 through Oxford and Lake Orion, merge onto I-75, and reach the city or the inner-ring suburbs before the afternoon rush thickens. Most of these jobs are people chasing work downtown or in Midtown, students landing near Wayne State, or folks heading back north after a stretch in the metro. Whatever the reason, a run this short loads in the morning and finishes that same evening.
Downtown and Midtown buildings come with their own rulebook. Towers near the riverfront and the New Center lofts want a certificate of insurance on file and hand out a fixed freight-elevator slot you cannot run past. We pull that paperwork and book the dock with building management days ahead, so the front desk waves us in instead of holding us at the curb while the meter ticks.
The flip side is the easy suburban driveway in Royal Oak, Ferndale, or out toward Troy, where the truck parks close and the carry is short. Either way we pad the door jambs, mat the walkways, and keep the load moving so a brief drive does not balloon into a long day.
The same hands at both curbs
