Auto Transport Tips to Norman, Oklahoma
Norman is a city located in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, approximately 20 miles south of Oklahoma City proper. Home to over 118,000 residents, Norman is the third-largest city in the state of Oklahoma, after Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and serves as the county seat of Cleveland County. Norman was first settled during the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run, and was incorporated in 1891.
Norman grew steadily over the next century, and its economic power has only grown over the years. Norman is known for its highly educated workforce and its affiliated jobs and fields. Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma, which is the largest university in the state, and its football team is highly popular, with over 80,000 fans going to games every Saturday.
Norman is also the home of the National Weather Center, and much research is done in the city by the NWC in order to better predict weather patterns and gain a better understanding of how the weather works. This is partly because Norman sits within the heart of Tornado Alley, though despite this Money Magazine still named Norman, Oklahoma one of the best small cities to live in in the U.S.
Norman literally sits just miles south of Oklahoma City, which really increases its popularity among the shipping companies in the car transport industry. Oklahoma isn’t the most popular state in the country to ship a vehicle to or from, but it’s far from impossible and shouldn’t be too expensive, on the whole.
Shipping to Norman may cost a bit more than shipping to Oklahoma City, which is easily fixed – just meet your shipper somewhere in Oklahoma City and you may be able to save a few bucks. Norman sits along I-35, a major north-south interstate in the Midwest, but it’s not the most popular route for auto shippers because there aren’t a lot of customers moving in and out of the Midwest, especially during this time of year.
If you’re shipping in or out of Norman, make sure to talk to a representative to get the full scoop about pricing, carrier availability, pickup and delivery windows, and much more. Keep in mind also that most auto transporters running into the area will likely be traveling along Interstate 40, which is a prominent east-west interstate highway and surprisingly popular with auto transporters.
Still, though, Oklahoma City will probably be easier, at the very least, for your shipper to get into or out of. Its proximity to Norman may make it less expensive, but it’s really dependent on who is shipping your vehicle and what you’re already paying to ship it to Norman.
