Freight where I-75, I-94 and I-96 meet the border

Detroit sits where I-75, I-94 and I-96 converge; I-96 ends its 192-mile run from Muskegon at I-75 near the Ambassador Bridge, a crossing that for decades carried more than a quarter of all US-Canada merchandise trade by value and still handled 2.3 million trucks in 2024. The newer Gordie Howe International Bridge, which opened nearby in 2026, links I-75 directly to Highway 401 in Ontario. In Southwest Detroit, new truck routes took effect in October 2025 to keep rigs on Fort, Michigan Avenue, Dix and the I-75 service drive instead of neighbourhood streets, after the area's intermodal freight terminal was processing close to 2,000 trucks a day through its Federal Street entrance.

That much freight moving through one corridor draws thieves. Michigan lawmakers passed bills in March 2026 adding up to 10 years in prison for cargo theft after Wayne County and Detroit saw a rise in thefts from rail cars and storage facilities tied to organized crime. The risk reaches ordinary yards too: in the early hours of May 2, 2025, thieves cut through a gate lock with a grinding tool in about seven minutes and drove off with two trailers from a steel-processing yard on the city's west side, one of them loaded with camping gear.

Sigma's agents watch every camera on a Detroit yard at once, day and night, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the fence line or gate after hours, an agent verifies it on live video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your contacts. At the gate, agents check each driver against your pickup lists before letting them in, and every entry and exit is logged.
