Columbus to Detroit
Detroit runs about 205 miles north on I-75 and US-23, a lane that carries automotive-industry transfers, university households tied to Ann Arbor along the way, and families moving north toward the Great Lakes.

The stretch north past Toledo is where this lane earns its reputation, because lake-effect snow bands off Lake Erie can turn a clear morning into a slow crawl with little warning. Corbin Ashe watches that forecast closely and builds a buffer into the departure time rather than chasing a schedule that a squall has already broken.
- One truck for all 205 miles, nobody else touches the load
- Every piece boarded and wrapped before the northward run starts
- Departure checked against lake-effect snow reports near Toledo before a winter load
- Renata Sook can line up short-term storage if your Detroit move-in date is still open
One drive, no changeover
Holt Cassidy and the crew that pack your Columbus rooms stay with the truck the whole way north. Priya Sandoval sets the figure after seeing your place in person, and that’s the number due at the Detroit-area door.
