Long-Distance Interstate Moving Services

 Interstate 75
With a length of approximately 1,787 miles, I-75 begins in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The interstate passes through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia on the way to its conclusion in Hialeah, Florida. When I-75 was constructed, it was built parallel to an existing interstate that traveled a path of a similar length known as Dixie Highway. The original Dixie Highway has since been demolished, but I-75 has become known as Dixie Highway Redux for its comparable track.

If you are looking for a break along this route, interesting stops include Luna Pier, a small beach community on Lake Erie, and the Roebling Bridge over the Ohio River, leading from Cincinnati to Covington, Kentucky. The Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington features a tribute to Secretariat as well as live horse shows throughout the day, and Norris Dam in Lake City, Tennessee, provides great views of Norris Lake and the surrounding countryside. You might also consider stopping at the Georgia Aquarium or the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, both in Atlanta, on your trek. 

 a major north-south Interstate Highway in the eastern United States, spanning from Miami, Florida, to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, near the Canadian border. It connects several major metropolitan areas and is a vital transportation artery for the Southeast and the Great Lakes regions.  

I-75 is a heavily traveled highway, particularly in the areas surrounding its major cities, making it a crucial route for both local and long-distance traffic, according to AARoads and MapQuest. Travelers can enjoy scenic views along I-75, including the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. I-75 intersects with numerous U.S. routes and other Interstate highways, providing access to various cities and towns. In Florida, I-75 runs along the western side of the state, including the Tampa Bay area, and was originally planned to extend further south. In Georgia, I-75 is the only Interstate that traverses the entire length of the state from north to south. On it's route I-75 traverses through the states of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan for a total of 6 states.

Interstate 55
A North-South highway running from Chicago, Illinois all the way down to New Orleans, Louisiana. It also serves as an important route for the transportation of agricultural items, and a wide-variety of commercial goods. This Interstate passes through 6 US States starting in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, and a variety of cities in Illinois, and then goes directly to the city of Chicago, Illinois. 

The I-55 corridor is designated as a Tier 1 nationally significant corridor for the MAFC Regional Freight study. This classification is based on the moderate to heavy truck numbers as well as the corridors’ s connections with other major interstate freight corridors. The I-55 corridor is proximately paralleled by the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, which have been designated as a Marine Highway (M-55). As a parallel facility to I-55, M-55 could provide relief for containerized or Roll-on/roll-off (RORO) cargoes. The I-55 corridor is also paralleled by Class 1 rail in its entirety and can be considered a multimodal corridor.

I-55 provides significant connections to several east-west interstates and also has been conceived of as part to a north-south route extending into Wisconsin. Because I-55 terminates at US-41 in Chicago, Wisconsin has secured interstate status for US-41 from the Illinois state line to Green Bay, WI. As such, I-55 would connect the export potential of the Great Lakes in Wisconsin with the southern Gulf of Mexico.

In Illinois and Missouri, I-55 is a designated truck route in its entirety (1). Missouri provides a commercial vehicle restrictions map and Illinois provides vertical clearance maps for marked and unmarked routes as well as a weekly restrictions list to assist truck moves with appropriate routing.

I-55 is not tolled in Missouri or Illinois. From north to south, I-55 begins in Chicago, and passes through Joliet, Pontiac, Bloomington, Lincoln, Springfield, Edwardsville, and Collinsville and into St Louis. The route continues south along the Mississippi River and passes through the communities of Cape Girardeau, Sikeston and into Arkansas at the southeast corner of Missouri.
