The Minnesota volume is almost exclusively from the Twin Cities metro – Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs (Bloomington, Plymouth, Eagan, Edina, Maple Grove). Client profiles are concentrated in a few sectors: Target Corporation, US Bank and 3M corporate transfers to Canadian operations; Mayo Clinic physicians from Rochester relocating to Toronto medical centers; and University of Minnesota academics moving to U of T or other GTA institutions. The smaller share comes from Duluth on Lake Superior, mostly from retirees moving south after the appeal of harsh winters wears thin.
This lane is the operational reality of Minnesota’s winter. And December to March pickups often require cold weather protocols – engine block warmers for trucks staged overnight, attention to icy driveways at suburban pickups, and route flexibility when blizzards shut down I-94 or I-90. Wells Fargo Center and IDS Center towers have a COI requirement for Twin Cities downtown pickups. The Minnesota inventory check sets a cubic foot price and that price stays the same no matter if the weather routing is through Wisconsin, Michigan or the Sault Ste. Marie crossing.

Inventory Volume (Cubic Feet) + Distance/Route + Destination Logistics
Minnesota moves are priced on the 1,120 mile transit out of the Upper Midwest and into Ontario via the Sault Ste. Marie crossing. Pickup Logistics: Cold weather protocols for winter months, coordination of access to Twin Cities downtown high-rises (IDS Center, Wells Fargo, downtown St. Paul), route flexibility planning in the event of winter storms that impact I-94 or I-90 corridors.
