Auto Shipping Services to Saint Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul is a city in as well as the county seat of Ramsey County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It is also the capital of the entire state, and is the second-largest city by population in Minnesota, as it currently sits at over 297,600 residents. Saint Paul is one of the two anchors of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is the largest in the state, and both its size and location in a rather large metro area make Saint Paul a more popular auto transport location, all things considered, as carriers prefer to run routes into and out of major metropolitan areas and big cities since there is a higher chance of finding customers and keeping their trucks full.
This is one of the biggest things that Saint Paul has going for it, considering how far north it is. Minnesota is not a popular vehicle shipping location, and while auto shipping services to Saint Paul will be easier to find than shipping services to the far northern reaches of the state, it’s still tricky. The main reason why is its location so far north. During the summer months, more people are moving which actually helps when it comes to finding a company to ship your vehicle to or from Saint Paul. During the winter, though, it can get tricky because auto transporters try to avoid areas that see a lot of snow and ice – which Saint Paul most certainly does.
Ease of access is also a concern. While the city is connected to other major metro areas via highways like Interstate 35 and Interstate 94, it’s so far north that many shippers would rather stay further south and run routes through areas that are closer in proximity to other major cities. Saint Paul isn’t in the middle of nowhere, of course, but Minnesota doesn’t offer a lot of potential customers outside of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region, and the entire region is seriously lacking in major cities – Minneapolis is the largest in a good few hundred miles. This results in long stretches of highway with no new pickups or deliveries, which increases prices. On the whole you’ll be able to find auto shipping services to Saint Paul, it just may take a bit longer and cost a bit more compared to other major cities in the nation.
