Auto Transport To & From Pennsylvania (PA)

Pennsylvania's a great state. It's full of wonderful people, things to do, people to see. Did you know that one of Pennsylvania's nicknames is the quaker state? But before you go schedule your auto transport to Pennsylvania, here are some things that you may want to know:

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (it's official name) is also called the "Quaker State." Contrary to popular belief, it is not named after the Quaker Oatmeal man, but rather the actual quakers who colonized the region during the mid-to-late 17th century. It was originally called the "Quaker Province," but when more and more people from different religions came to the New World, William Penn (the state's founder) thought that it would be more prudent to call it something a little less obvious, as quakers had been under lots of fire from different religious groups. It's also been known as the "Keystone State" because it was the economic keystone at the turn of the 19th century, making wares for people to move cross-country (such as Conestoga wagons) as well as guns and tools for farmers. Aren't you excited about your auto transport yet?

Pennsylvania's largest city is Philadelphia, and the state itself is the 33rd largest in the country, land-wise. It's also home to the nation's first zoo, located in Philadelphia, and it also boasts some of the best and finest museums in the country, and all of its 121 state parks offer free admission (the only state to do so). What a great thing if you're looking for auto transport. But that's not all that Pennsylvania is famous for. It's also a great state for anyone looking for some outdoor experience. There are over 1 million licensed hunters in the state, and whitetail deer and cottontail rabbits are common game, and it's also considered one of the finest wild turkey hunting states in the entire United States, along with Texas and Alabama.

It's also home to many different (and equally amazing) sports teams, including the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB), the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA), the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL), and the Philadelphia Soul (AFL). Every one of these teams (except the Soul) have won at least one championship in their respective sports. If sports is your thing, you'll love Philadelphia, and you'll love your auto transport experience to get there.

Mario Andretti (and his racing dynasty) come from Nazareth, PA, and the Jennerstown Speedway, the Lake Erie Speedway, and more are located in the state, but perhaps it's most well known is the Pocono Raceway, home to both the Pennsylvania 500 and the Pocono 500 (major races on the NASCAR circuit), and there are two motorcross race tracks that host part of the AMA Toyota Motorcross Championships in Pennsylvania.

It's one of the many states that have a rich colonial history, full of historic monuments and things to do. All the state parks are free; what else could you want?
