Car Shipping to Madison, Wisconsin
Madison is a city in and the county seat of Dane County, in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It is also the capital of the state of Wisconsin, and is the second-largest city by population in the state. It is home to over 243,300 residents, and is also the anchor of the Madison, Wisconsin Metropolitan Statistical Area, which spans four counties and is home to over 568,000 people. Madison was first settled in the mid-1830’s, and was incorporated as a city in 1848. Originally a center of agriculture, mining became a major part of the city’s economy and resulted in a flurry of growth during the late 19th century. Manufacturing followed, and Madison transformed into a major mining and manufacturing area. While the city saw much of its industry decline during the late 20th century, Madison has been able to keep afloat thanks to a diversified economy featuring a number of different sectors.
On the whole, there are more popular places to ship a car than Madison, Wisconsin, but there are also a lot of less popular choices that you could be shipping to. Auto transporters want to run routes into and out of major cities and their metropolitan areas in order to keep close to large customer bases. The more people live in a single area, the easier and faster it is for carriers to get from one pickup or delivery location to another, and around Madison it’s no different. But the problem is its location more than anything – it sits in Wisconsin, fairly removed from major cities outside of Chicago, though that’s a really big plus.
Auto transporters don’t like the northern states as much because it’s cold, and west of Chicago there aren’t a whole lot of major cities – at least not very close together. Long stretches of no pickups or deliveries makes for a long and expensive trip, so they try to clump their pickups and deliveries together in major cities. It really helps when those cities sit along major interstate highways, and Madison is fortunate to sit along several, notably I-94, a major east-west transportation corridor. I-94 doesn’t see as much traffic as east-west highways further south, but it connects some vital cities together along one major highway, which makes things easier and cheaper, if not more popular.
