About Shipping in Minneapolis
Minneapolis, Minnesota is the largest city in the Upper Midwest, forming a twin city with neighboring St. Paul. The metro area serves as a regional vehicle transport hub connecting the northern Great Plains to the Great Lakes. Its position on I-94 and I-35 provides efficient routing to Chicago, Milwaukee, and the Canadian border.
I-35 provides direct north-south access from the Canadian border to Dallas-Fort Worth. Severe winter weather from November through March with heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures can significantly impact carrier schedules. The Twin Cities metro is the primary pickup and delivery market for a wide surrounding rural area.
