Pickup and delivery across Dubuque County, reached by carriers on US-20 and US-52. We plan regular routes to Cedar Rapids and Milwaukee.
Dubuque is the anchor city of the Dubuque metro area. About 58,900 people live here, according to the Census Bureau's 2023 estimate.
Dubuque is not on an interstate. The closest is I-80, about 60 miles away in a straight line, and US-20 and US-52 are the main highways through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route.
Snow and road salt are part of winter here, which is one reason some owners choose enclosed transport from December through March.
Des Moines, the largest city in Iowa, is about 162 miles west in a straight line. The closest neighboring pages cover Marion (55 mi), Cedar Rapids (62 mi), and Davenport (65 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Milwaukee, WI, about 144 miles away.
Straight-line distances are shown for comparison. Road miles and timing come with your quote, and every route works in both directions.
A 62-mile in-state move southwest to Cedar Rapids. Carriers often pair it with other loads on the same corridor. Cedar Rapids gets real winters, so leave slack in December through February.
A mid-range regional run of about 144 miles east to a major neighboring metro. Milwaukee gets real winters, so leave slack in December through February.
Snowbirds from Dubuque often head southeast to Fort Myers, roughly 1,206 miles. Spring returns are the second peak.
Across the country, about 1,729 miles west. Ask for a pickup window when you request the quote. San Francisco sits near the Pacific coast.
A multi-state haul, around 760 miles west, with steady two-way relocation traffic. Denver is at about 5,292 ft, so winter mountain passes can matter.
HOA rules, cul-de-sacs and low trees are common in Dubuque's neighborhoods. A nearby shopping-center lot or main road is the usual backup.
Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.
With I-80 about 60 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway or along US-20. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
