Ohio is a state located in the Midwestern United States. It is home to over 11.59 million residents, making it the 7th largest state in the U.S. by population. Ohio auto transport services, however, should not be hard to find. This is mostly due to its major cities.
Cities such as Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are all major auto shipping locations due to their size and importance. Those cities grew into major manufacturing and transportation hubs in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. This has situated them as prime car shipping locations, and today Ohio is easily one of the most popular shipping areas in the country.
A bit about Ohio auto transport services
Ohio auto transportation services should not be hard to find. This is thanks to the state’s major cities, notably Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The largest city in the state is Columbus, which also serves as its capital.
Then of course there’s Cincinnati, to the south, and also Cleveland, to the north. All of those cities are major shipping hubs and are also easy for carriers to get to and from. This ease of access is important to keeping costs low and interest high.
Major east-west interstates through the state include I-70, I-80 and I-90, as well as I-71 and I-75. That’s a lot of interstate highways! But that’s good, because interstate highways are how the majority of car shippers actually get around.
Major interstates that connect to major cities are always more important because they see more demand from customers. Well, the cities that sit along them tend to, anyway. Of course, Ohio is not all metropolis – there are many areas that don’t sit on any major interstates. These are more difficult to ship to and from, but we’ll discuss it more below.
A bit about rural Ohio auto transport services
Now, Ohio definitely has some rural areas, but luckily most of the state is fairly easy to access. Rural routes are harder for carriers because they are far from major interstate highways. Well, usually.
In Ohio’s case, chances are rural shipping won’t be as hard to find due to how built up much of the state is. Carriers shouldn’t have a hard time getting to or from even smaller areas outside major cities. At the same time, some areas will likely be more expensive to ship to than a larger city. We recommend speaking to an agent about it. They can give you more information and help you find the best way to save time and money on your rural Ohio auto shipping services.
