Are you looking to ship a vehicle in the winter months? Winter Vehicle Shipping is most definitely a seasonal industry, with the highest amount of vehicles being shipped in the summer months and the least amount during the winter months. Which makes sense, right? The weather in the winter is absolutely atrocious. But if you are looking to ship in the winter months, try and keep it as early into the season as possible, and if you can avoid high-snow areas like New England and the northern states like Michigan, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. Doing this will keep your costs lower and will probably provide for quicker pickup and delivery as well.

What is open car transportation? If you don’t know, it’s basically the industry standard when it comes to auto transport. On an open auto transport truck, up to ten vehicles are secured on two racks, one on top and one on bottom. This method is the cheapest and most efficient form of auto transport, but it does come with some risks. Like any other vehicle on the open highway, vehicles on an open auto transport truck are subject to rain, sleet, snow – any natural condition you can think of while on the road. However, damage from things such as errant rocks and debris is just as uncommon as it would be for any regular vehicle on the road, and it does prevent a lot of wear and tear on the vehicle as opposed to driving it the same distance.
