Auto Transport to and from Orland Park
As mentioned, Orland Park sits just 25 miles southwest of Chicago proper. This allows auto transport companies to easily run routes that include Orland Park, and many of them may opt to meet customers that want to ship into or out of Chicago proper in Orland Park or another suburb of the city.
Downtown areas can be a problem for carriers to get into or out of; it depends on the width of the streets and a number of other factors, but Chicago’s history predates the invention of the automobile and many downtown areas offer limited – if any – room for an 80-ft truck to maneuver.
Since this is often the case with larger cities like Chicago, the carriers would rather meet customers in a suburb, a smaller city in the metro area where they have more room to move around comfortably. This usually helps keep your prices into or out of Orland Park lower, since carriers are usually more willing to go there than into Chicago.
The southern edges of Orland Park sit right along I-80, with the city sprawling north of the interstate. This helps tremendously when it comes to keeping prices low and carrier interest high; with a major coast-to-coast interstate running right along its southern edge, there are several exits for the village that carriers can utilize and they can easily get onto or off of the interstate to go pickup or deliver vehicles.
This ease of access is quite useful for you, as it helps keep pickup times low and prices more competitive; this keeps carriers on their tows and offering affordable, competitive rates into and out of Orland Park and the entire Chicago area.
